farcaster friend appreciation post:

- @keccers.eth for so many things but mostly for bringing a tenacious curiosity to life that is nothing short of inspiring and for showing up for her friends with support and joy, even when she may be feeling down

- @greg for being an s-tier devrel guy and human; he’s my go-to long walk, dinner, and “coding” (baby dev) friend, but being able to watch him in his work element at ETHGlobal has unlocked a new level of pride to know him

- @heavygweit for sending sweet notes that always brighten up my day, leading with empathy, and caring fiercely for what she believes in while always making space for others

- @elxlee for his ability to always find the positive and cherish the good things in life

- @adrienne for being a phenomenal tapper (pep talker) and all-around incredible role model, both personal and professional, that i’ll always admire

thank you all for brightening my days again and again xo

longevity

Eating healthy is *hard* — it takes discipline, time, money, and considerable effort to establish your baseline, source quality nutrients, test supplements for what they claim to be, etc.

Most people say they don’t have time for this. Yet *not* doing it imposes a hidden tax on the body, causing them to live on borrowed time.

The biggest disruption is to make all of it easier: health data acquisition and analytics, analog twins of your own cultured cells to test various protocols, last-mile delivery of quality tested nutrients, etc.

If Bitcoin is there to prevent central banks from eroding your wealth, the longevity movement is there to prevent society from eroding your health.

Farcaster

A lot of chatter recently about Farcaster, marketing and expanding beyond crypto

I have yet to see a crisp definition of:

1. What problem does Farcaster solve for people outside of crypto today?

2. What evidence exists that existing  at-scale free social networks and paid creator tools / platforms are insufficient in serving these people?

3. Assuming this population exists, what channel (i.e. tactics) do you market Farcaster to said people?

I'm not asking for free work, fwiw. It's our job to figure to this out (we don't have an answer for this question ourselves). 

But hiring a "marketing team" when you don't have an answer to this question is not going to solve the problem.

Marketing works great when you have a clear value prop and target market and channel.
