Farcaster

We're not pricing the value of Farcaster taking off. Farcaster is asking people to do normal stuff (use social media), but provides extra benefits bc it's crypto-native. Powerful onboarding tool. 

Question: How do you frame the benefits of Farcaster relative to traditional SM apps in normie-friendly language?

Creative undirector: @2077Collective. Ethernaut. Learning machine. Crazy genius. 

Let's do a mental experiment and not say "privacy" or "decentralization". These aren't always immediate concerns for some people. What problem does Farcaster solve that's a massive pain point for SM users *today*? Does it solve the problem because crypto, or a non-crypto app (e.g., Bluesky/Mastodon) can solve it?

I think the tipping feature is a great way to provide values to users without having to go through too many extra steps. Absolutely native and public, which I feel is a great use of micropayments in action. Shows direct economic value.

I also like the channels, which is why I never liked mastodon when I tried it years ago. For example, was easy to cast about a movie to a dedicated channel and then go back.

Having dedicated channels is something G+ tried years ago but never got right either. I think it is correct here.

Now, if I can learn how to, and have it successfully go through, I'll connect my wallet. (Tried earlier and signed, but didn't take)
