I’m not really “in” web3. I’m barely a technologist.

Basically in 2021 I wanted to see what the fuss was about by getting my hands a bit dirty, as I do.

One afternoon and $500 (lol) in gas later, I had my a ha moment: I made an OpenSea account and some NFTs I had minted *were just there*.

@jasoncrawford.eth turned me on to Farcaster. I really love the product, or what is now the Warpcast part of the product. (I really love Twitter and this product is better than Twitter.)

I’ve tried to evangelize it to my Twitter community and I failed to get a critical mass of them over—as I mentioned, I’m pretty adjacent to web3 community.

But I’ve still been on and off here, especially since parenting channel was added. And I remain a fan and a believer: this is how things should be.

I greatly value that kind of decentralization/interoperability. I’ve always loved social media (even in its proto forms, like usenet and phpbb and what not). It seemed obvious to me that content steams should be blockchain-ified and SM feeds should interpolate from them.
