Ok - as promised, here goes. This is a small list of tokens that I find the most compelling at the moment. Before you get your feelings hurt if your bags aren't on this list please remember, this is: a) not financial advice b) my opinion and not yours

First though, who the hell am I anyway and why should you care about my opinion? I'm an artist and software developer and I've been active in web 3 since March of 2021.

This was when I learned about both Lens Protocol and Farcaster, and so I joined both and enjoy both. I have been active here since there were only a few hundred daily active users.

During the closed Farcaster beta, I invited just under 100 people to join the platform. I've been casting pretty much daily here since before there were channels, frames, tokens, etc. The platform appealed to me immediately, before all this extra utility was added.

And by the way, I think this is completely fine. In fact, I think it's awesome and exactly *why* decentralized social media is going to be a very serious threat to centralized web 2 social media.

The issue we have seen time and again though is that antisocial behaviors that are detrimental to the long-term viability emerge to game these reward systems and can lead to ruining communities. So what to do about it?

Specifically: $moxie, $build, $enjoy and $degen. Also, this is my current line of thinking, and my opinion can and should change over time. Don't be interested in these just because I am.
