Farcaster

In retrospect, decentralized social network has been terrible framing for Farcaster.

Two recent frames that are better:

1. Farcaster is an economy — social network + crypto wallets, small but high GDP per capita, h/t @woj.eth @luc 

2. Programmable social — X APIs are dead, Farcaster APIs are constantly getting better, h/t @six 

It's still (mostly) decentralized under the hood, but lean into the things that it's really good at relative to the competition.

Farcaster is an “economy” but the most exciting bits in that vein have been “commerce” — particularly @jacopo and others who enabled users to transact with Farcaster-native tokens — notably, $degen and $higher

The economy revolves around the tokens

This is a future I’m here for and the team should double down on it

And for the record I believe I was the first person to transact using $degen
