Base

my thesis is that if we can build a self sustaining economy with the 10-20k "first builders" on /farcaster and /base, we can then scale that to the world. 

this means people building, earning, and creating enough real world value to sustain it all. 

we are the "1000 true fans" who will make it happen.

if you haven't yet read, "1000 true fans" by Kevin Kelly, you should. 

it's a must read and something that has influenced much of my thinking and informed decision-making personally and professionally, whether working with celebrities years ago or in crypto today.

Do you think we’ve seen this play out in practice?

There's a reference to that post in my follow-up draft to my Implications of AI post earlier today, but I was only narrowly thinking in terms of AI, not combining AI+onchain (value creation * value capture). Thanks for sharing this & helping me connect the two!

kelly's thesis hits different in web3. now creators can turn true fans into true owners. shared upside = stronger alignment ☁️
