Can I make farcaster scale? lol I wish. I'd be a billionaire by 2026.

the friction does good work, early. was true on twitter too in the early days when it couldn't scale. smaller, tighter knit, more niche, still confusing normies, etc. helps to concentrate people.

but one thing merkle drummed on at farcon were the power laws and how the network's character changes as it hits certain exponential milestones. will be challenging to preserve the "mainstreet" feel of farcaster with 100m users but i'm happy to see for myself ☺️

i am unsure how to think about scaling. on one hand, duh. on the other, i think my favorite part about farcaster is the ability to actually cultivate relationships and actually converse with people, whereas on the other app it's primarily a one way street. i made more frens here in a week than years on bird app. but i simply cannot meaningfully engage with any more people without giving up my wife or job or a presentable house. im scaling my casts and channels i cast in BACK bc i have so lil time these days. but the relationships i will maintain will be more meaningful. i dunno. impossible balance. 

tl/dr - i think what makes this place great is the intimacy and scaling while keeping that vibe is a tall task
