One thing I enjoy about Farcaster is the large presence of people who build things.

Half of the time, I don’t understand what they’re trying to build, don’t get the vision, and/or don’t think there’s any viable business case.

But that hardly matters — partly because I may be wrong in my assessment, and partly because the bigger picture is that these people have skin in the game.

It’s easy to partake in an online community of circle-jerkers that engage in abstract philosophistry, drop vacuous platitudes, and vaguepost their way to strategic ambivalence. In fact bots can now do that faster and cheaper than humans, expanding milquetoast content to a singularity.

At least builders put their money where their mouth is — that brings a degree of authenticity and grit to the network. Even if they are wrong, they’ll remain true.
