thesis stands: we need proxy & ham (1/x) these are the only 2 things on fc that have generated new daus since frames1 & degen tipping back in feb and despite what some of you think, this is the ONLY THING that matters; no one cares about the tech; the journos churn, the academics churn, ct churns, artists churn… none of it matters if no one is here now for the first time since feb, daus *appear* to have broken trend; time will tell if the fc team cares enough to capitalize you would think with hostility increasing on x, a ban on launchpad tech & overall user dissatisfaction, acquiring these users would be top priority instead we offer them $5 for a good cast plus a $3 sign-up fee… they’re collecting $1600 a month on x on fc, we have one of the most interesting things happening in crypto rn: a zk forum, built by top builders, with interest from vitalk & legitimate potential to influence on the world but no one cares because no one is here

(2/x) we had an ai agent named gina hanging about, interacting on the timeline, 6 full months before anyone on x was even thinking about agents but no one cares bc no one is here we had the worlds first autonomous launchpad built natively into a cast—something that spurred the migration of a billion dollars of capital & set in motion this so-called “base season” yet it could barely hold mindshare for a day bc no one cares about fc we had the first agent-to-agent memecoin; had agents managing 6 figures within a month of $GOATs deployment; had several community-focused agents interacting on the timeline… before anyone cared about virtuals, before the agent meta was solidified… it was happening here virtuals topped off at 700m & expanded mimetically outward for over a week; clanker topped off at 100m & dropped out of the meta within 48 hours no body cares because it happened here

(3/x) we now have gestured frames—an entry into the flash tg crowd—but they won’t come here bc it costs money to be here when they’re used to getting paid to be anywhere… sound familiar? i think at this point it is clear: users flow where money goes—we cannot afford to shrug our shoulders at this any longer: there are protocols out there airdropping 7 figures to their users we fail to act at the risk of losing our builders… no one can sustain a business with a total of 10k potential users… no one can sustain in an environment that sees a relatively small liquidity push every 9 months during a bull market if we lose the builders, we lose whatever users we have left… deploy the 180m… when did new users come last? they came when jacek gave everyone hundreds of dollars in degen to tip out on valentines day they came when frames were novel & promised new ways to EARN when inframe game teams were raising $2m… they came when they could make money
