Purple is a DAO whose goal is to proliferate and expand the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.

i loved FC (and still do!) because it was an exciting web3 project that I could access w/o crazy crypto money.

i was initially stoked about @purple — and then realized it feels just like other plutocratic DAOs where governance rights are bought, not earned.

is $$ the best way for us to organize? what am i missing?

is bidding and buying an NFT the only way to become a Purple DAO member though?

agree that the mission of Purple can be achieved through many different formats — if I don't like plutocracy, nothing is stopping me from doing it differently 😏

FWIW, still stoked about @purple and excited to be a community member

yes the daily auction is currently the only way to join. they’re using Zora’s new Nouns Builder that copies Nouns daily auctions

+ you build a sizable treasury quickly 
+ you have highly interested (and hopefully motivated) members early on

- it takes time
- may take a long time for prices to be reasonable
