Him: What’s your Twitter
Me: here you go. Do you use Farcaster too?
Him: oh. No not really. I’m not a Base person


Houston we have a problem

I wonder if base has done the mindshare equivalent of “buying too much supply” of Farcaster 

Totally within their right to do given permissionless etc, but potentially consolidating the Farcaster narrative too much into one thing

could be true...many thoughts. one of them being that the mindshare of both base AND farcaster on X is so relatively small (and sentiments stale) that the conflation is within the expected error bounds. idk

I think base acquiring merkle is inevitable.  

Merkle’s recent push to align themselves even harder with ethereum/evm ecosystem is further hint of this.
