basil (recession arc)

if there’s one fundamental takeaway from farcon for me—it's something both bedrock simple & blindingly self‑evident, and that is: we’re here first night i swapped stories with maybe a dozen folks & the phrase kept looping; then jesse took the mic, tossed out a revolutionary “we’re here,” and that no-shit line detonated a 2am rabbit hole in my head by day three the pattern was undeniable: most of us aren’t minting fortunes in crypto; a lot have torched comfy salaries, defaulted to ramen budgets, moved back in with roommates just to keep shipping; plenty are still willing their side gigs into the black, living on micro‑grants, hypersubs, shitcoin flips, or flat‑out community grace

it’s been rough… for years… for a crowd of true believers… yet we persist... some push protocol edges, others add meaningful discussion to channels, bots, tipping loops; others gnaw on frame minutiae; a few just shitpost for morale & make the perma-online life survivable each contribution—no matter how pocket‑sized—accretes, and the sum becomes a force that’s farcaster’s magic for me every walk of life funneling ingenuity into tomorrow’s top‑of‑funnel app, all resting on a social graph populated by some of the best humans i’ve had the luck to meet sometimes you don’t need a dense technical thesis; sometimes the people are the thesis, and sometimes, that’s enough
