You could probably make a decent argument this is why we have Farcaster itself—an older class of crypto rich giving back

The Farcaster formerly known as Kchamp. Books, beats, bodybuilding, bright ideas and beautiful things.

Not quite the same thing but I remember back in early Farcaster days when Fred Wilson (the biggest winner from Coinbase IPO afaik, extremely rich) would be all up in here buying everyone’s NFTs. 

If you were an artist active here during that time there’s a decent chance he would have copped your work

Would say it’s similar, but one big difference is age, and how that subsequently influences decisions. SV rich older

similar virtuous cycle as silicon valley in general replaying in crypto to some extent

This is the only way crypto survives in a meaningful way for the masses. Ideally less and less rugs as cycles go on + builders get closer and closer to actual value for users (outside of number go up ofc)
