Big shoutouts to @esteez.eth, @dylsteck.eth, and others who helped out with the main events at Farcon! My favorite parts of the weekend were side events that had specific activities and audiences that extended beyond crypto. The Forever Library event (@amelie @debbie), Bracket’s beer pong tournament (@tldr @passafiume.eth @maxp.eth), and yoga & oysters (@loriann) were highlights for me. Maybe it’s because I’m an introvert, and it’s preferable to have something to do while mingling. But I also think it’s valuable for us, as a social network, to expand our own horizons. I met several people at events this weekend who weren’t very active on Farcaster – or hadn’t heard of it at all! – that became more interested in what we’re building here. They wouldn’t have attended a generic crypto-oriented mixer, but an adjacent event served as a warm (re)introduction.

What’s been stark to me about the Clanker news is how different the reaction has been to it than other negative press in crypto @proxystudio.eth has done a ton for Farcaster and Base ecosystems with his work here in such a short time. With all that’s gone down I might prefer not to meet Proxy.. but not for reasons you might think “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou Perhaps I’ll see you emerge in your third arc as someone entirely different. Shaped by your experiences as gaba and proxy. But i hope to preserve the feeling that ProxyStudios instilled in all of us and keep it for life Thanks friend

What makes FarCon So Special? (🧵) Farcasters are special. Y’all are my kind of nerds. We are the innovator class. We are the trailblazers who are super open minded and eager to try all of the new things. We are driven and motivated and for a handful of days, many of us converged into one place and got to hang out as humans. We worked, we played, we ranted, we connected, we broke bread, we gave hugs, and most importantly we put faces to the pfps and realized that every person we met was an awesome human doing cool things. We went from magic internet friends to real friends. We had incredible moments, made connections, and strengthened our bonds in a way we just can’t do over text. The URL to IRL pipeline is key and must be protected at all costs. The Summit was outstanding but the side events, shared Ubers /subway rides, coffees and dinners were the stars of the week.

After the playlist monetization model collapsed, musicto rebuilt from the ground up — investing in people, upgrading infrastructure, and discovering that true community comes through creative collaboration. (Part 3 hopefully by tomorrow ;-p)

Coins and collectibles turn attention into measurable, liquid value. Attention is the asset class. Viral post? Auto-coined. Deep fan? Gets rewarded with tokens. Believes in the mission? Earns brand equity. Trader? Can speculate. Collector? Can flex. Coined posts = bets on the moment Creator coins = bets on the person Brand coins = bets on the idea Collectibles = proof of taste and participation ^^ 100% written by @coinbrad.eth Full post @ https://x.com/brad_or_bradley/status/1917221237635383805

I've been using Sublime for over a year now - it's brilliant. Here's my review on a product I use everyday and intend to use more in the future: Sublime Is More than a Bookmarking Tool. It’s a Bet on My Future Brain

The past several days were a test of my sanity. I don’t want to complain too much, because some people have it much worse, but it was one of those weeks where each development further destabilized an already fragile situation. Starting a new job with a puppy at home was chaotic enough before the living room started leaking and collapsing, right as family came to town for the half marathon this weekend. I’ve run through the gauntlet of emotions: fear, pride, rage, embarrassment, gratitude. The one constant was overwhelm. Everything is (going to be) okay, but this level of tension can leave a scar. Ultimately these stretches of life produce the strongest memories. It’s up to us to choose how we remember them.
