Been getting a recent uptick spammy DMs on Farcaster. Is this community socially inept? Spam DMs are a good way to kill a social network.

As long as I’ve known Jason he’s been a relentless builder, so when he told me he was raising for something new in 2022 I knew immediately that I would back him. Congrats to @airstack.eth and @betashop.eth for absolutely crushing it and particularly being instrumental in making Farcaster what it is today!

After 2017 ICO mania, many Bitcoin meetups went “underground” to secret invite only meetups that maintained a high bar for integrity and intellectual curiosity. These Bitcoin meetups are currently the only moral culture I observe in crypto. Any others?

The secret is out! I’ve been spotted giving a talk at @ethdenver by @bfaviero! Am no longer in Denver as I temporally displaced myself from Singapore just for this talk.

Didn't @vitalik.eth just post a hypothetical about this in response to the Skiff shutdown? Varun did highlight contract centralization but crazy to see it then happen right after.

Great example of Farcaster importing all the low value Twitter spam. This is the death of social networks.

Financialization of relationships causes a breakdown of trust and authenticity, and it destroys relationships, the bedrock of social networks.

It’s not possible to capture more value on the social layer than you can capture with a strong relationship off platform.

Every time someone financializes social, the relationships break apart with haste.

Incredibly exhilarating and inspiring to be in the presence of true human mastery. The authenticity of ThePianoGuys.Twitter radiates from the stage in way that just does not have the same fidelity via YouTube videos. https://i.imgur.com/vWTJUqw.jpg

NETWORK STATES The most common objection I hear around Network States is "what about states with bigger guns?" A proper Network State is immune to guns in the same way Bitcoin is, but this can be abstract to grok. So lets start with a reframing: https://www.network0.vc/p/what-is-a-network-state

First time crypto founder? Your investors may have not told you this: SAVE YOUR RUNWAY! This is crypto winter, there will be crypto summer, you just gotta survive the 2 years until summer. You will be able to raise again in summer.
