Question for everyone, and sorry this may seem trite at this point. Why do you think friend tech is popping off while almost all other consumer crypto apps are pretty flat? Looking for honest opinions, even if people have already said it, or even if it’s contrarian.

It's a unique type of content & social relationship that you can't get anywhere else. That's the core differentiated & sustainable product offering IMO. The wrapping of ability to make a little money, points, improved onboarding experience, all enhance that

shortest distance to speculation in current market conditions + most notable ct degens narrating + airdrop promise + the ability to scratch that existential-worth question subliminally (personally believe this last point is quite significant)

Tourists left, many that remain ♥️ gambling. Aggressive bonding curve makes action ramp up quickly Endorsed and shilled by influencer crowd that herds the 🐑. Fun 4 some to buy access to those ppl too Everyone makes money. Maybe not from trading but they expect airdrop — ppl are being paid to use it

FT democratizes one of the big innovations of this cycle - tokengated chats. PFP NFT collection, DAOs, and even individual artists all made gated Discords, and they’re still one of my favorite parts of Web3. FT makes deploying the token, pricing it, and hosting the chat super easy!

Novel combination of crypto’s killer UX - i.e. speculation - and tried and tested web2 acquisition + engagement loops Really don’t think it needs to be thought boi’d into more than that tbh

Arbitrary points = airdrop farmers = engagement ⬆️ Invite system = walled garden of content = exclusivity (though this was more in the beginning, now it’s really curiosity/fomo ⬆️) Simple buy/sell mechanic = easy botting = speculatooors ⬆️

The entry behavior (memeing/gambling) is the biggest creator of tx flow today so they’re consistently exposed to new users At the same time, the experience I have with the app every day (not a gambler/speculator) feels singular; really intimate connections with creators

the innovation with crypto lies with the innovation of money friend tech did something innovative with money—is it the perfect PMF product? probably not but a step in the right direction

Under the appreciated aspect is that the bonding curve creates a pool you can always exit out of, even if it's at a loss. FT + Users making money on the fees and not the underlying assets/keys is elegant AF. FT's structure makes it impossible to be a bag holder. You can always exit with _something_.

- the speculative aspect of FT feels gameified rather than crassly “financial” like trading tokens or perps - very easy for users with large followings to extract value so there’s a simple built-in marketing flywheel - both creator and audience stand to profit from using FT all the above + fast/cheap L2 txns

Accessible, easy to understand, integrates good gambling metrics sprinkled with hopes for a token airdrop.
