bad-takes

I believe a big reason FC is not seeing more growth the last few months is due to a lack of interest and acceptance of trading and memecoins being the dominant narrative this cycle.

FC's infra is best suited to be the defacto home for token projects and yet we see very very little projects doing so.

I understand and appreciate the commitment to building, adoption and sustainability.

I also recognize that 99% of memecoins will go to 0 by the end of this cycle.

However - the current approach is making FC feel like a place that has an entirely different set of convos, most of which are not currently EV+.

I say this all as someone that cares deeply about FC and it's growth but think it's important we recognize that crypto-natives on Twitter do not see value in being on here and that feels like a problem to me in the context of the next 12-24 months.

It is unlikely that FC just leapfrogs crypto-native adoption and gets an influx of mainstream users without winning the wider crypto crowd over first.

sadly this was a good take - big L for the inverted cabal

Possible. But it seems like it was also due to the MM team not focusing on user growth and going all in on retention
