What are some essays/casts/discussion you should read about Farcaster in order to better understand current FC growth challenges? Looking for food for thought for writers taking part in our "Farcaster 2026" contest. (example of a cast below)

well, that thread aged like kiwis left on the counter > email is antiquated, cumbersome, and poor ux. there are stories of being locked out of google and icloud. > there's an opportunity here for farcaster as protocol to be the new identity layer for the internet (with social graphs built on top). the interoperability with payment rails is a huge plus" It looks clear to the outside world that Farcaster has lost its way. Including a high-profile hack via open email vuln that reeks of 20 year-old web2 monopoly tradcorp policiies. It could have been closed with less than a week of eng work (and was! to their credit) plus subsequent comms. But the founders have allowed themselves to take their eyes off the ball for at least 5 months. Serious internal game-planning on a token drop would focus minds and attract North Star growth like no other possible "feature". Why are we even doing this, if not to participate, build, and shape the best possible Read-Write-Own outcome that crypto can enable? Token 2025
