Farcaster

In retrospect, decentralized social network has been terrible framing for Farcaster.

Two recent frames that are better:

1. Farcaster is an economy — social network + crypto wallets, small but high GDP per capita, h/t @woj.eth @luc 

2. Programmable social — X APIs are dead, Farcaster APIs are constantly getting better, h/t @six 

It's still (mostly) decentralized under the hood, but lean into the things that it's really good at relative to the competition.

programmable social is stickier it feels 

and will easily incorporate the idea that it enables a farcaster economy, w things you can easily point to that verifies both points 

but 2. really hits the value prop imo
