Consumer Crypto

crypto rails or no, not launching consumer apps on tiktok feels like a missed opportunity

a new app called daze chat has 200K people on their waitlist - link to their viral video: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSjM1fBFx/

as someone who has never got addicted to that app, this is mind blogging.

I understand why on a logical level, but still hard to grasp how easy we're to manipulate like lil rats on our conditioner boxes

infinite intermittent dopamine rewards feed and u got us

Farcaster

FC the subject a new article from The Defiant and not in a good way

https://thedefiant.io/news/nfts-and-web3/remember-farcaster-activity-on-the-socialfi-dapp-is-plummeting?utm_source=newsletter2.thedefiant.io&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=ethereum-and-solana-dominate-web3-startup-space

This article is quite disingenous.

Signup fees have been also lowered from 5 to 1 usd

Equating the TVL in the protocol from fees which use is still unknown (maybe used for upcoming retro grants)

But what’s certain isnt that’s not a good proxy metric to farcaster growth.

If we wanted growth at all costs you could drop the fee to 0. But then both bots and spammers would ruin the commons and also the revenue from signup fees would be literal 0 (rven if actual usage made a x1000)

Anyways end of rant.

Consume voraciously, feed your curiosity, do what comes naturally, triple down, don’t judge your interests, learn everything, don’t let others gate keep you, don’t stop

And then one day, throw it all away, throw what you learned away, throw the books away, the ideologies, the design languages, the frameworks. Throw it all out, all of it all of it

And then? Do it.

You can now skip the waiting list for echo.xyz if you’re active on Farcaster, AND you can use your Farcaster account as your Echo pseudonym instead of Twitter :)

skip the list with your farcaster account is nice

Would you pay for a frames kit template / tutorial on how to build frames?
