I woke up this morning in Tokyo to 2 casts from @dwr.eth regarding future of Farcaster

As a developer building on Farcaster, I found them to be a bit contradictory, unsettling, & overly defeatist.

Farcaster has been building a solid foundation for a strong future. That future is dependent on app... longcast.jam.so/jjcJMh

Lots of good feedback here, but one thing that I see differently:

I see multiple *direct competitors* to Warpcast, and I fail to see the value. 

I don't think the "twitter clone" needs competition (right now, maybe later). I think we need more innovative clients to be built. 1/2

Building https://srcbook.com // creator of the https://blockchainsmokers.xyz

What I’d love to see is people building on top of the social graph in new ways, like https://warpcast.com/colin/0x97075e or PixelPool. 
These clients drive much more interesting growth and protocol evolution pressure. I trust the Merkel team to build the twitter clone, given what they’ve done so far. 

2/2

In the future, if Merkel proves to be a bad builder of the main client, then the decentralized protocol design will allow to "exit" and build alternatives, but I don't see the need today (or at least I feel perfectly happy with Warpcast).
