Philosophically, no. 

Crypto has had 15 years since the white paper to create a self sufficient and self contained non predatory culture. It hasn’t happened yet. 

If it can’t do it with Farcaster, it can’t do it at all.

it's just an insignificant scratch on the glass

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Negative.

First, Farcaster is unlikely to fail.

Second, it only represents the VC/web3 side of crypto, specifically, ETH and the culture that surrounds it.

Third, I and II reinforce one another, creating a virtuous cycle.

that mean that crypto will never fail, right?
