what i love about amps is that it is one of the top used frames and doesn't have any funky, hard to grok crypto mechanics

it's as simple as "pay to recast" so users love it

bullish on more frames and use cases that solve common social media pain points that can be powered by micropayments

1 month later, still my hypothesis.

social-first, USDC-first mini apps like @ampsfun (pay to recast) and /flock-in (pay for cameo-like videos) appeal most to the avg consumer, critical for mainstream adoption

my current wish list: tip on a cast, pay-to-view article cc @paragraph, pay-to-view compliment (cc gas)

Where writers share, grow, and get paid — one post at a time.

we had 10c warps tips (visible on casts!)

and $degen not-exactly-my-own-money tips, in huge size variability 

now 1 $USDC onchain tips

plus all the collect-and-gate  content experiences of the past two years , including subscriptions and per-item payments in both stables and coins (remember $blood )

none have become habitual, rather, they only seemed to be juiced by fomo and time-limited mania.

is my memory right?

not sure if there's a missing piece to unlock crypto money flowing like water, from the masses to deserving creators
