Farcaster

I'm never the earliest but I'm almost always early

A few reasons why I'm bullish on Farcaster rn: 

- Folks burnt out by the casino and the nihilistic void it created
-> The need for substantive connection the rails that support it is ↑ than ever. The FC network and UX natively supports this better than any
- Consumer crypto is at an ATH but so is app fatigue
- I genuinely don't think 99% of CT gets how good Warplet + v2 frames is, let alone what it can and will be
- @dwr.eth has hired an insane roster of talent + vibes recently
- The FC airdrop campaign has potential to be a more stable, less manically dopaminergic version of "tipping szn"
- hb 🫡

I do like Farcaster but my feed contains a lot of casino looking stuff. "casino stuff" obviously attracts a lot of users and gets TXs up in the short term, but in my own personal experience on another project those users tend to be low quality and it can end up leaving a bit of a negative appearance of a project (to new users) and can overshadow genuine/HQ contributions. If you get too much of the airdrop/casino crowd it can dominate things (IMHO)

"If I was the king of farcaster for a day" I would personally work on surfacing frames that aren't as focused on purely speculative value (particularly casino-esque stuff) and also maybe consider prioritizing the v2 channel spec because it can supercharge building mini-communities which can generate a lot of intangible value. I think there's space for some very interesting stuff with channels.

I'm still exploring though and excited to see where farcaster goes!
