one thing on my mind today is what the u.s. election means for X and therefore for Farcaster 

It’s clearly a big win for X and will bolster X as the place to be for cryptotwitter banter and conservative takes 

Whereas prior to the election it was less clear how Elon’s X experiment was going

So what does that mean for Farcaster? 

imo it means Farcaster needs to lean harder and faster into programmable transactions, mini apps, and tokens. Bull market is coming which means more trading and more transactions. Farcaster can own that space. But key is tangible success stories. Apps that got tons of tx volume on farcaster. Tokens that took off on farcaster. People who made zillions on farcaster.

There is a big world outside of crypto twitter. I think we could onboard creators and community builders from discord and telegram by showing them the amount of additional functionality available here; and how it’s more possible to “own your audience”. 

The new channel model seems like a better fit for a lot of small communities that currently rely on discord or TG which have always been incredibly poor experiences for me.
