Degen

crypto

Jacek is the most proven builder to come out of the Farcaster ecosystem so far

you want to bet on the eco, you bet on him, it's simple

Degen remains the single best Farcaster proxy asset

founder /openventures | /proxyswap | tokenbot @clanker

This is a fine thesis but much more speculative, and mostly isolated to a small circle of us here on FC. Degen is considered an FC proxy by many people who don’t even have accounts here

Higher has the + of being a formation of an IRL headless brand, infiltrating mainstream society. Degen has an anti-appeal to IRL cultures by being built on a celebration of degeneracy. Higher’s draw to FC is slowly at first then all at once. Degen was all at once, then reduced itself to just another gambling chain. IMO both will struggle to significantly overcome previous ATH unless an absurd amount of money comes in, but more people are familiar with crypto ecosystems then crypto bros act like there are.

Correction, unless an absurd amount of money comes into the space, OR either has major breakthrough in protocol evolution. Higher ecosystem is a little unapproachable as-is for many, and degen is a little unappealing as-is, for many people.
