Unironically need someone to unpack what it means to "make money" on Farcaster.

There is a cynical, extractive "make money" conditioned by crypto. Spam, sybil, squat, and farm as much as you can with minimum effort. Demand free money for doing nothing but being early. If you don't get it fast enough, scrap anything that's not bolted down and sell it for parts. Hard to blame anyone who does this: it's just part of our culture! But it won't work here, and these users seethe, cope, and churn.

There is an earnest, productive "make money" mostly enabled by the social graph. Warpcast rewards, Cura channel tokens, Rounds, Moxie, Ham, Degen, Clankers, Hypersub, Pods, Zora, Rodeo, frames, games, commerce, apps, creating something of your own. You "make money" by doing things: posting, memeing, creating, curating, selling, building, playing, trying, exchanging. The list is long and unlike anywhere else. It's so foreign it is often "cringe". And there is a lot in between these modes.

But someone should write it down.

when the pendulum swings, it has to swing back

so it turns out this button is where u find frames and today was the first time i clicked on it since frames v2 launched

so much future time gonna be saved cos i’m no longer searching casts with the frame linked  

not sure if slow or many such cases

it’s actually crazy how many people just seem to drift through life without paying much attention to their surrounding, operating purely on autopilot 

can’t work out if this a result of daily decision fatigue and if so, would ai solve this and allow people to be more present?

sun out? bullish
sun in? bearish 

today’s mood:

has anyone done the math for approximately what day we're going to hit 7 digit FIDs? 

i do truly believe we (users of farcaster) are all going to make it in some way, shape or form

after all, the early bird gets the worm

A lot of people have trouble finding the best way to get more engagement around here. While there are a few factors that lead to better results, one is having a healthy cast to reply ratio. The closer it is to 1 (or lower) the better.
With that in mind, I made a Dune query that lets you find what your ratio is so you can improve on it. 
Sub in your fid both under UserCasts and UserReplies and run it.

Six Word Story

story time on why @dwr.eth is literally my crypto father:

CHILDHOOD
- early into my crypto startup career, joined farcaster
- created safe environment for me to experiment
- dan is happy that i'm here

ADOLESCENCE
- start getting into fights with people on farcaster
- black sheep but still here
- dan writes check into unlonely, one of the earliest supporters, believes in me

TEENAGE YEARS
- unlonely rises
- ego grows
- rejection of some of dan's principals and teachings around startups and crypto
- some would say problematic behaviors develop
- dramatic breakup (leave for solana) with no intentions of coming back
- dad is angry and disappointed
- don't talk for a bit

ADULT LIFE
- independence is good, freeing, difficult, scary
- still feel guilt, miss farcaster family a bit, miss dad
- twitter account gets suspended, dan immediately reaches out to help
- mad respect for him
- prodigal son has returned

difference in beliefs are still there. solana better. but growing as adult. respect goes deep.

dad disappointed, not angry — welcome home

one of the best things about farcaster (crypto in general) is that everything moves so fast
