after a few years full time crypto since transitioning from the family office space, i still feel culture shock re:

most family offices earned their wealth through insane sacrifice to build a company VS most of (loud) crypto earned it by being early to click a button

to me FC feels like the former, not the latter

Warpcast for the vibes

farcaster is simply a distribution tool for degen, the two shouldn’t be coupled

We should be getting a lot more eyes on Farcaster now that $DEGEN is getting listed on Coinbase.

We are definitely the future

Would this narrative change if Farcaster launched a token?

Everyday I’m grateful to the person who onboarded, I love your job tbh one day I hope I get into crypto full time

Curious bc I don't know your background - where do you spend most of your time now, and were you investing with a family office or doing other work with them?

Hell yeah ted, FC feels like a lot of work and sacrifice (of mostly time).  It’s not easy street !

very rare for something intentional and sustainable to be built fast, kinda an oxymoron?

Interesting insight. 

What if we can build fast family offices?

Fast company meets cozy family firm

Then again most things worth pursuing take time. I assess my all-in on FC in 2030.

lots of FC trying to be the latter though

being early often gets conflated with being able to execute

Didn't you hear?  Being early is now a skill that can be bragged about.

I don't begrudge people their luck, and I also don't really want to hear their advice on my business either =p

> wildly narrow view

not really? this is not commentary about who FC wants to attract or its goals, ambitious etc 

it’s a commentary on mindsets and attitudes

my sense is that most people here today (incl devs, builders,core team given some have been here for months and years) are long-term, willing to put in work

That seems like a wildly narrow view for a social network that has ambitions to attract all kinds of people, no? 

Maybe you’re talking about the devs/builders on FC? Or the merkle team?

I agree, it feels special and FC must be preserved at all costs

The distance between a click and success. 🙂

I also think this is why most people hate crypto.

They feel like the wealth was not properly earned

in time the former always wins. its about small doses like taking a antibiotic ointment consistently. but if you can bridge the two or better yet solve old problems through easier faster sexier solutions, that's where the gold mine is. living in a cash economy when digital exists isn't the right playbook either.
