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.

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.

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)

Farcaster Fridays

While other social networks are hyperoptimizing the "screaming into the void" experience, Farcaster builds communities that bleed into real-life connections.

I haven't in-person met as many online-people since early the ~2009 era of Twitter and SXSW. I've missed this.

Perhaps this is how crypto wins.

In order to win crypto first, I want to see my favorite crypto traders, investors, security experts, developers, etc. active on @warpcast ❤️

In order for me to stay up-to-date, I must be on X 😖.

What does it mean to win crypto? 
By this I mean, what is the metric we can look at and track progress or claim victory?
