One thing I enjoy about Farcaster is the large presence of people who build things. Half of the time, I don’t understand what they’re trying to build, don’t get the vision, and/or don’t think there’s any viable business case. But that hardly matters — partly because I may be wrong in my assessment, and partly because the bigger picture is that these people have skin in the game. It’s easy to partake in an online community of circle-jerkers that engage in abstract philosophistry, drop vacuous platitudes, and vaguepost their way to strategic ambivalence. In fact bots can now do that faster and cheaper than humans, expanding milquetoast content to a singularity. At least builders put their money where their mouth is — that brings a degree of authenticity and grit to the network. Even if they are wrong, they’ll remain true.

Speaking for myself I build software, I only want to create a business if the software actually needs one. So not having a "viable business case" isn't a blocker particularly

I wonder if an attacker has enough tokens, say 20%, they could start attacking 10 markets at once. And if the defenders had to buy tokens on the open market, this would drive up the price of REP. And then the attacker could sell the unused tokens at a higher price than before the attack. They also have the potential to successfully attack if the defenders are unable to defend all markets at the same time. Once a fork is reached on one of the markets, disputes on the other markets are frozen and the attacker gets the opportunity to withdraw tokens from the remaining disputes in order to migrate to the new universe or sell them. This assumption works if not all holders are interested in protecting the markets (they don't care for any reason, trade on the exchanges, are on vacation, lost keys, etc.), which may be true.
