Why would you build on Farcaster — frames, actions, clients — if Merkle / Warpcast will just clone it if successful? 1. Outside of trading (Coinbase, Uniswap), there's no successful (at-scale, revenue generating) crypto-based business today. 2. The biggest constraint for all crypto app growth is users. There are not enough people using / "in" crypto today. The market needs to expand based on increasing the amount of consumer utility provided. 3. Our goal with Farcaster (and Warpcast) is to get enough scale where developers are able to build meaningful businesses without having to onboard more people to Farcaster and/or crypto themselves. 4. Separately, if your product is really a just a feature of another product, your best bet at building as a business around it is finding the Top 1% power users of said feature and giving them as many bells, whistles and knobs so they are willing to pay you. 5. We actively try to support other Farcaster apps in the ecosystem...

I remember you saying you were focused on farcaster, not necessarily Warpcast to an extent. Warpcast is a necessary entity of farcaster no? It seems like farcaster (the vehicle) would miss out if farcaster spent time focusing on Warpcast. On the flip side. Most people build what they want to see. So if they are able to see it in Warpcast, I suspect they would move on to build something else. (A remix on if you build it they will come)
