'the moment you think you're screwed, you might actually have the crown jewels'

picked some ideas I enjoyed from @fredwilson.eth interview at Farcon

Faircaster

3/ mini-app → full-app pipeline

ship a frame, watch usage, then graduate power users to a full client. cheap experiments > big launches.

2/ platforms rug when incentives diverge, not because they’re evil.  Facebook and Twitter nuked their dev ecosystems because economic pressures mis-aligned them with partners

1/ social is infra

twitter/tumblr/zynga in 2007 was the first time we made the experiment. It worked, but all came crashing down when platforms pulled back their APIs 

2025 = we run it again with Farcaster, but this time it's unruggable

Good shit. Agree with everything except the marketing part. Primarily because I consider forming business connections as a form of marketing. 

Thanks for this thread. Too many people were talking about how good these talks were but nobody was posting a summary.

Loved the interview! Gonna have to go back and rewatch it a few times after the conference.
