ironically leaving farcon more bearish on farcaster.

the protocol wants to compete and win at the client level.

clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol.

all roads lead to winner take all.

what’s the point?

Expanded on it a little on the bird app, posting it here as a screenshot due to character limit.

1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast?

If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps.

This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

Twitter's biggest asset is not its client features, but its social graph. Every new "discoverability" platform fails in front of it. It is the cold start problem.

FC's fix is to solve this, by making that social graph a public good property. WC is just a pipeline to enrich it.

How was your sleep? 💤

do people enjoy being part of a continuously evolving crypto-native community-owned brand ????

This is an important question because it allows us to dive deeper into “why would they care if the not the price?”

which makes me question — is the enlightenment for a crypto-native brand happens when the community gets completely detached from its price?

Degen token is the first memecoin that is also a culture coin that is also a dex that also has real revenue that is also distributed entirely to the community that is also backed by people on Farcaster

imo the etfs have little impact on the long term adoption of onchain apps

the apps will create better experiences for ppl globally

they’ll abstract away the technical side and look like magic to all of us, similar to how farcaster apps do today

it’s not just an asset class, it’s a new internet economy 🌱

Decentralized social, like Farcaster, will win for its composability alone ☘️

It’s a new paradigm, it cannot be replicated even if X / FB decide to bring p2p payment, let people connect their wallets etc.

There’s a rudimentary difference in approach

I’ve said this before, contrary to popular opinion: 

We’ll get crypto adoption by attracting masses to crypto-first products than by integrating crypto in the products with masses.

decentralized finance = exchange value without permission 

decentralized social = exchange ideas without permission

At this point, is AlfaFren a secret mission by @wake to take degens off the market? 😂
