can some kind soul explain to me what is $DEGEN and why should I care? 🫶🏻☺️

There are a few good frames that explain it.
Basically an ERC-20 token on the L2 Base that has become a tipping currency on Farcaster. If you hold 10k of it, and a couple other qualifications you get a daily allowance.

Degens are tips you receive from other users + receive automatically based on your engagement.
Usually once a month you can claim them into your wallet and they became $degens

Once you hold 10k $degens on your wallet for 48 hours you are then allowed  a certain amount of degens (daily) to tip other users.
