increasingly more 10k fids & below are in my dms calling for me to get LOUDER it appears the inner circle is finally getting pissed off? two notable developments: 1) “get louder for us” — people are scared to speak up due to fear of retribution from ex-cb mafia (this is horrifying, no different than censorship & why we get called linkedin) 2) just talked to a second crypto & fc og who is now advising an fc competitor interested in tokenizing the social graph: one just wants to start a fire; the other is giving “fine i’ll do it myself” energy while i appreciate dans recent visibility on the timeline, we’ve debated this time & time again to no end & nothing has changed out of love for the network, the people want SOME of the 100m+ of capital being SAT ON deployed & deployed LOUDLY starting with ONE non dev hire to run ONE of these initiatives (to start): > eco fund > marketing & ua > branding & optics > grants & devrel > meaningful creator rewards & ambassador program

no & if he is, no one knows. all we see is him quote casting builders once & while, which is an improvement from 6 months ago that many are grateful for, but it’s just not enough, not at this time. we need, at the very least, an active x account, and a website that highlights projects here or a newsletter or some other kind of distribution it could be ran by an intern for $0

to wit: totally agree building that sort of outreach is useful. that sort of evangelism (as we called it at one time) helps tell the story and draw babes in. unconvinced that merkle needs to produce it
