Farcaster

Farcaster wins because financial networks are social networks.

Farcaster is a social protocol built on a financial protocol (ETH) for people who like to socialize about finance.

Farcaster is lowkey social network with high odds of asymmetric opportunity.

Farcaster is the nicotine patch to my twitter addiction.

Turns out the “influencer x will pump my coin” logic is almost always a recipe for max pain. 😦

how is china so efficient while being so corrupt?

Ethereum

How to Save Ethereum 

1. IRL not URL - focus on building ETH Network States not ETH consumer apps

2. Currency - make ETH the currency of these IRL communities 

3. Infrastructure - use Ethereum network as the core infrastructure for governance, careers, and finance

This will build a tribe of true believers which is in distinct contrast to the fly-by-night retail customers that everyone seems to advocate for.

Farcaster’s KILLER Feature 🫨

FC feed is safe from being cannibalized by ad revenue because it can sell financial products instead i.e. swaps.

Because it’s not dependent on ads the algorithm doesn’t rely on amplifying shock and awe.

The most likely path to a multi-client future for Farcaster is making it very simple for any client to monetize.

This means opening up the path to every client also being a financial service with a wallet, swaps, yield, and w/e else.

i swear the average cost of a croissant in venice, los angeles is $7 now

grok tells me the average cost of a croissant in venice, italy is €2.50 on the high end

Robo-croissant

Verticalized robot that just makes croissants 

Goal : drive the cost of croissants to $0

Being an engineer at a startup vs an engineer anywhere else is like being a soldier in wartime vs peacetime.

Engineering in an ever-changing, existential-threat-ridden environment simply hits different.

When I use the mini apps development page on farcaster web I can’t interact with the frame modal.

Not touches seem to do anything. 

Any ideas? Thanks!!

we all really need this trump thing to work out

yday at sheep’s meadow there was a moment when the sun emerged from behind the clouds and the whole park started clapping

a reminder of the shared reality that we are all experiencing even if focused on our little groups on the ground

wonder if that changes when everyone starts wearing the hyperslop goggles and reality literally starts fracturing based on your personalized desire settings

🙂 All right. Let’s go a few rounds. Our mutual friend @mazmhussain can adjudicate.

(1) First: startup societies are based on 100% consent. No one is there who hasn’t chosen to be there. No one is in a hierarchy if they haven’t opted into that hierarchy. Signing the social contract to join a community is much like signing a contract to join a company: you view the docs, make an informed decision, and opt out if it doesn’t work. That right to exit is the fundamental right.

(2) Second: not all existing laws are good laws, like the PATRIOT Act. Sunsetting *some* laws doesn’t mean you don’t believe in laws in the abstract.

(3) Third: you likely have views on what your ideal community would be. Maybe it’s a vegan village. Maybe it’s modern Amish, where tech is paused at the level of flip phones and people enjoy each other’s company. If you ever decided to build such a peaceful, opt-in community, then we would support you. And that’s what startup societies are about.
