honest newbie question - is the goal for warpcast to eventually become mainstream? Or is it really supposed to be just for the crypto community

consensus definitely seems to be that winning the crypto community is the main goal and mainstream will follow when it follows

Eventual goal is of course everyone to be on Farcaster. Reality however is that there is no mainstream adoption without winning the crypto community first.

From what I've gathered, it is very much a Promethean-build-it-then they-will-come sort of vibe. A lot of incredibly talented and smart people and bots here, and it is nowhere near stable form ready for mass public. Intense energy of folks who are laser focused on their various missions and quests.

I think it honestly needs to cater mostly the web3 community

Seems like:

Crypto first, go mainstream when crypto goes mainstream
