Tokenisation won’t take until it refactors info markets and what the average consumer considers to be stupid games played with what they consider to be stupid people.

And for that to happen, tokenisation needs to displace algorithm-led experiences somehow.

When are people going to learn that users care about apps not chains?

I saw @christin ‘s review of Firefly and decided to give it a shot. So far so good. Defo a smooth app, maybe even smoother than Warpcast 🤫

Bonus: random photo of a smart gadget.

Terminally Onchain

Pumped for Farcon next week! 

haven't felt this excited about a conference in a while 🎉

Wrote some thoughts in yesterday's post about how awesome it is that Farcaster products are being used to organize Farcon - the intentionality matters.

chit chatting about all the fun things we're doing onchain lately.

I have a thing for leaking business models. I think the flow is beautiful in itself. The ever-ongoing movement outward and away. The influx, which is largely a fantasy, has its charm, but the most important thing is to follow the current and lead it on.

onchain generated captions, bios, taste, and more. 

the chain can’t lie!!

a buy me a coffee style tip button, run like a @coinbase embedded wallet. anyone can tip creators with credit or crypto and the creator receives USDC on base. the wallet also has a paymaster for gas for the transfer of USDC that USDC and 0% offramping fees to fiat.

people overcomplicate which chain to deploy on. imo just best to keep it simple

- if market doesn't exist yet (e.g. decentralized social), deploy on base for fast prototyping
- for existing markets without clear winners (e.g. perp dexes), build an app chain for customizability
