pitched a new company idea to a friend

he replied "it's going to be super hard... but if it doesn't work then humanity is fucked anyway"

there is no way you know what you are voting on if the bill is a one-shot 940 pages long

Anecdotally speaking, Polish people are industrious as fuck

And once they got markets, they were like “bet”

Not as famous as Deng Xiaoping or Manmohan Singh, but Balcerowicz is a goated economic reformer

on the industrious part:

Trying to get good at this whole crypto thing

yeah i gave money to luc so agent has something to invest together with some other people

no one sold, there is no extraction, we all want luc’s ai to invest it in farcaster companies

luc expected this to be trade at 200k-300k market cap and noone would have any issue with it

it teleported to 5m so suddently people look at this as some manufactured play

> call token $fair because FARcaster + AI + provides fair access to new startups who would otherwise raise from a vc. good name

> raise small amount of money from friends so there is capital to invest

> launch token and give some of it to people who gave you money

> expect token to trade low, token instead teleports to 5m

> everyone thinks you’re running some weird presale extraction scam wth FAIR in the name

everyone needs to calm down, @luc could launch it better but there is no conspiracy here

in case you missed it, pewdiepie is now a self hosted open source tech influencer

introducing @faircaster: an agent tuned to Farcaster signals, built by me + friends. It tracks what top builders ship, fund, and support and uses those signal to invest from its treasury.

the goal is having something we wish we had: one-click exposure to the best and brightest building in the farcaster ecosystem

today we're dropping governance token through @clanker. think of holders as our board: they call the shots: change the rules or pull the plug. Goal is ultimately full agent autonomy.

this is an experiment in agent-led capital. risky, uncharted, and hazardous. I'm determined to make this a resounding win for Farcaster and the people supporting us!

fair’s in the air

huge vibe difference between companies built to last 10 years and companies built to raise a seed round

los fomos is great, let’s get it funded

i feel the itch but definitely not ready yet

who is building a dating miniapp?

feel like we are about to reach the network size where that would really hit.

my biggest unexpected engineering lesson from my short adventure at merkle:

if you're cracked you have enough confidence to ship code to high-traffic prod without testing it first

stuff that i would estimate in my head for 2 days @gt can do in 2 hours because he just looks at the code, knows what to change and ships it -- while i need to find a way to run in a replicable environment, test, give others and only then im comfortable with shipping

bell curve: test in prod -- automated tests / staging / replicated envs -- test in prod

fuck i think i want to work on something again

$zora is this coin that sits on a reasonable market cap that you can full port into and feel very smart after it 10xes in a few months

i’m down on my entry but still believe the thesis

tokenizing people is probably the highest tam in crypto
