Farcaster

Don't buy farcaster accounts. You might get rugged. 

They were designed to be easy to use in a social app, not to be traded like nfts. Some tradeoffs we made will make it harder to trade them safely. 

For example, someone can set a recovery address, transfer the account to you and reclaim it back a few hours later.

I agree with @v but I would add also Farcaster OG NFTs, not only accounts. They were earned, meant skin in the Farcaster game. They should be soulbound tokens,  but they’re not, so at least there should be take into account first ownership vs later owners

If Farcaster wants to be a decentralized social protocol, then users should have full control over what they want to do with their FIDs. If @v and team make it harder to trade FIDs, how is this decentralization? It’s the opposite, a centralized authority forcing me what to do with ‘my’ account.

Oh man that crypto mentality for every Blockchain functionality.. we have to work on removing the thinking that everything should be 'sellable'.

"Decentralized" doesn't mean you cannot use all the Blockchain potential and soulbound NFTs perfectly fit here.
DApps could still decide what to do (or not to do) with them.

That will still not attract the 99% of the rest of the people that DO NOT wanna trade, but people you still need to attract to Blockchain technologies.

Focus on trading and you'll only get gamblers that will dump your idea as soon as it's not profitable.

We both know that the trading aspect of blockchain technology is what attracts 99% of people here. To me, that’s OK. Some of these people will come and speculate, then leave. But some will come and maybe speculate, maybe not, but will stay for the other benefits.

Removing the ability to trade is wrong imho
