Lately, I've been more active on Bluesky (different topic, different anon), and it's growing pretty fast. Given Elon has oriented Twitter towards anti-intellectualism, certain communities have moved wholesale already, particularly academia related. It's basically just Twitter without the bloat, but slower still... Farcaster is more interesting to me, but Bluesky has won the attention game - no one knows Farcaster exists outside the niche crypto crowd.

interesting insight. still forming my own thoughts after reading it.

given merkle’s stated plan is for farcaster and warpcast to win crypto first, the last sentence in theory means that it is going according to plan.

For clarity, not a criticism, just my observation. Targeting crypto makes a lot of sense, but it's a tiny niche, and one that's very unappealing to most normies. Which is fine! Better having a small niche than nothing at all. The real question is is there a goal to expand the audience later? How can that happen? What are the drawbacks to targeting crypto first? (like I said, unappealing to most people)

Thank you. For clarity, mine is almost not a criticism! Just an observation, as well. We share the same POV on it. 

Based on what the team has said, yes, there is a goal to expand the audience later. 

Thanks for being here btw. Appreciate you.
