reminder: bringing the world onchain means bringing THE WORLD onchain

1.  just because accounts are not from western countries doesn’t mean they are bots

2. dan said to cast alot so they are casting alot

3. wc rewards can go a long way in other currencies 

non-western people of farcaster - i say this with love and care 💖

1. not everyone will engage with you no matter how nice you are or how hard you try

stop replying to people who *never* respond back to you it’s not worth your effort and you could end up with a spam label

2. if you post content from pinterest etc pretending it’s yours pls dont (this is ok for memes) but not for /itap etc 

only post lifestyle photos that are originally yours as if not ppl will think u are a bot

3. keep being authentically YOU

own where you are from, for instance i am so proud to be of nigerian and jamaican heritage 

don’t let negative stereotypes stop you from being authentic ❤️

I don't know why this cast doesn't sit right with me. 

(speaking as a Nigerian with FID 15255 that knows Nigerians with FID less than 2k)

Farcaster spam problems is bigger than a continent or color thing.

I didn't realize Wise's presence on the continent is this bad.

Wow, Senegal is really punching about its weight 😀

MiniPay (https://x.com/minipay) is a dollar stablecoin wallet that no one should ignore - especially if you're building for Africa and on Celo.

I see MiniPay becoming one of the biggest web3-based payout/payment method.

You see what PayPal does? Exactly that.

That's why I want to go beyond building Mini Apps on MiniPay.

I want to build standalone apps that users can link MiniPay as a payout/payment method. That's where I want to go.
