Curious at what point - quantitatively and qualitatively - would @dwr.eth and @v say farcaster has real pmf.

Some threshold of retention? Servers unable to keep up with growth for an extended period of time? Users spontaneously telling their normie friends to join farcaster?

I’d modify this slightly for crypto, where products tend to grow in a cyclical fashion because the broader market is cycle. Sometimes you don’t grow for 6-12 months but it’s not necessarily a reason to give up.

I would argue crypto users just became accustomed to this cycle from poor design.

Airdrops & team liquidity ruined long term builders imho

I think this may be true for the hyper speculative crypto apps but not necessarily for non financial ones

If you’re building social apps on this new infra, benchmark should be to web 2 social apps not uniswap and Jupiter. 

Instagram engagement doesn’t change so much when the markets cycle

Unless a product is so compelling that it creates the cycle.
