Going to sound a bit controversial but this whole $POINTS thing is one of my least favorite aspects of web3. Random lottery speculation leading to lots of engagement but no actual value behind it (we don’t even know what points are for). Build value for consumers, not gambling for the masses.

Why not both? Why must there be a conflict between “actual value” and fucking around? I see the conflict in attention and time spent, so if all you do is degen then I agree. But 5% degen seems ok to me, no?

i don’t know what it is, tried to stay away from it, but it is unavoidable on crypto twitter. i hate it based on all the notifications and dumb content and everything else around it and i assume anybody else skeptical of web3 or sitting on the sidelines may feel the same.

It seems this is a super common take on the situation. The controversial take is the argument against what you're saying

I’m excited about points because 239 ETH is now in a contract that can potentially be used to attract more users to Farcaster. 🤗

crypto obv goes way overboard but to ignore the value of speculation / gambling completely is to ignore human nature. Gamification (particularly with money) is everywhere, not just in crypto. That said I agree with the need for building real value, I just don't think these things are mutually exclusive.

I’m pretty “let people do what they want with their money” about things, but I don’t like it cause this is the kind of stuff that gets regulators all hot and bothered. Like, people are using straight pump and dump language when talking about points.

Gambling/speculation is certainly a use case that people are interested in. It's not for me, but who am I to say it's a 'wrong' one. I do agree it's getting a bit tired though. There's thousands of gambling tokens out there already.
