pumped for the pro NFT to give me a big Farcaster token airdrop which will go 7x like hype did in the first few months and then I’ll sell the local top and make a ton of money while the rest of CT will be poor because they faded dan romero dot org

Buying a new MacBook this week. Def doing M4. Was thinking 32 gb ram, 512 ssd should be more than enough Does anyone have strong opinions on the air vs pro? My current one is a pro I bought 6 years ago. Seems like there’s a “lightweight / aesthetic” argument to the air which might be worth thinking about

Noah’s recent piece was a fun read considering how many journalists have onboarded to Farcaster in the last 6 months. He didn’t list FC so I tried my best https://x.com/yb_effect/status/1927506334611816699?s=46

not to get all emo, but i will always look back at the time this app was called Warpcast as a pivotal time of my life Feb 2023 YB was so different it's wild. had just lost a ton of money in FTX fiasco, quit my job to start my own thing, got out of a relationship, unhealthy habits, nomad life, etc. i was this close to quitting crypto in Dec. 2022, but luckily evacuated from ct and found shelter on farcaster. since then, i've updated several versions and am at such a different level of confidence now it amazes me. confidence in my work, improved mental health, best shape of my life so far, living the dream life in nyc, and so on. don't have everything worked out by any means and still have a long way to go (i'm only in my 20s) but i do remember the warpcast change being a local (hopefully global?) bottom of my life and as the name change changes back to Farcaster i can't help but reflect on how awesome the last 2.5 years has been

the core issue with bookmarks is reducing the friction of getting the initial context around a single tweet. a form factor that feels perfect is a customized podcast episode (5 - 10 mins) that gives an entertaining background of a couple of recently bookmarked tweets. and that's just the baseline. you could also: - subscribe to curators who you think have good taste - customize the GPT prompt so it learns how to hook you on any given topic - get "emergency e-mails" on any time sensitive bookmarks as content gets easier to create, the next substack will most likely be a subscription service to a curator's bookmarks and highlights. I'm already seeing this with tg channels and substack chat to a certain extent https://thebiggerpicture.xyz/bookmarks
