If you find yourself spinning or ‘reframing’ a narrative, don’t. Go in a different direction. Why? 1. It’s a symptom of a deeper issue with the idea/business. One that will only get worse if you don’t address it head on. 2. It’s (likely) not who you were when you started out - and you’re compromising. 3. 99% of the people who’s perspective you actually care about, see through it. They may not say anything right away, but cracks are beginning to form in the trust you’ve built.

Name a founder using the Farcaster ecosystem as a launchpad who VCs should know about. Provide a thoughtful reason why and I’ll send you some USDC.

Hanging around Farcaster every day for the last 2-3 years is a better education than a T-10 MBA program can offer. I expect the next 2-3 years will be similar. Plan accordingly.

Let's say Congress confirms that the origin of UAPs is a non-human intelligence. What's your first move? https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-exposing-the-truth/

Fun Fact: This guy has a broader social reach than every major venture capital fund / VC investor...except one. I'll give $10 to the first person to correctly name the one who has him beat.

An observation - WC & FC Web3 Social Launch: @dwr.eth and @v work steadily through several years of a bear market with little to no fanfare, quietly building what we now experience every day and many take for granted. v. Typical Web3 Social Launch Today: hack it together in a weekend, slap a token on it, attach it to the latest meta, create airdrop virality, see what happens, figure out the details later and hopefully make $$$$ in the meantime. - I get that the latter is the norm for this part of the cycle, but if you have aspirations to build something truly meaningful, maybe follow @dwr.eth ‘s and @v ‘s playbook? Just a thought. 🤔

This is a disheartening development for DAOs. At the same time it’s encouraging to know that ~18 months ago @purple members had the foresight to anticipate it and adapt accordingly. 💪 🟪 https://x.com/milesjennings/status/1858720755523219932?s=46

Avoid the temptation to invest in a second-layer SPV offering (i.e., SPVs of SPVs) of a hot startup. You're welcome. nfa

This is the coolest experiment I’ve seen in a while - and there are many really cool experiments on Farcaster, so that’s saying something.

The optimal way to build a startup during the last twenty years, will not be the optimal way to build a startup during the next twenty years.

This is surprising. Makes me wonder (a) what part of my mental model needs updating, or (b) where the error is in the calculus.
