Base has changed how builders build and share with /base-builds. So many folks from /fbi get rewarded daily. This allows folks to stop chasing grants and start focusing on growing one thing sustainably.

$5/day to 100 top casters is a neat way to bring top CT folks (and their audiences here) It’s not the quantum of money. It’s just the nature of the experiment. It’ll probably mean more polarising takes/engagement farming. Esp by top accounts. Net positive for the ecosystem though.

I am most excited about @proxystudio.eth’s Proxy coming to Base. Man literally coined the term a social Dex. What are you excited about on Base?

The lines between @dwr.eth and @randomerror.eth keep getting blurrier.

I joined Farcaster when it @dwr.eth was personally rolling out invites. At the time, I was hacking on small indie onchain projects with friends- chasing clout and grant monies. A friend convinced me that decentralized social was where clout was truly at, he had been having conversations with @vitalik.eth, @balajis.eth and the like. @ishika, a close friend, was a long term FC fan anyway! I joined. Casted for a few days. Discourse was mostly technical and I didn't know anyone. There was no engagement. I got bored and left. Got back last December, when I shutdown the payments company I was running and finally had the time and energy to explore other things. Farcaster felt like a small cozy place on the internet where people just understood crypto.

Spun up Sidebets.xyz with less than 20 minutes of effort. If you’re a based builder, there’s not been a better time to understand prompt engineering with Claude and these GPT models.

We live in a world where the easiest way to make money is to cast bangers. How do you explain this to your offchain friends?

We ran a small merch experiment. Asked people to pay $7 for merch. 69 slots. Buy in frame on FC. World wide shipping. Reimbursed folks with Degen tips and added a ‘We are FBI’ cap for everyone. It pays to pay at /fbi

Treat your team like a sports team and not a family is such sharp advice on running a startup. You'll recruit the best, esp folks that are team players, and collectively improve morale. You'll cull anyone that weighs the team down.
