ecosystems like eth op and farcaster will trick you into thinking you’ve made a compelling product because there’s a “kumbaya let’s all win together mentality”. 

Use my app I’ll use yours!
Use my app and I’ll give u a boost here with my large fc following!
Use my chain I’ll use your app!

it’s negative signal and will keep you from the truth: you’re product isn’t compelling enough

solana has it's own trickery. seems likely their kumbaya is less or different and directed by foundation grant money (ie, marketing). community level kumbaya is /actually/ shitcoin speculation in disguise, greed; still useful to the right project, but the character of participation is different and churn is probably gargantuan.

I don’t think it’s kumbaya so much as a sack with a dollar sign
