GM Farcaster ep179 Friday November 8, 2024

This how i eat my papaya from now on, with seeds @adamhurwitz.eth pilled me

good UX tbh

Top is in when Dan takes away /tacobell from me to give it to the actual company

I've stated a few times that I think Elon buying Twitter messed up Farcaster's anti-censorship, anti-institution value prop and they've struggled to find their footing ever since. Culturally both are very aligned with our current technocratic overlords too so the vibes are pretty much the same which is why there's no attempt at Blusky style outreach when people bounce from X. Team has financial incentives to not ostracize themselves from all kinds of things involving Elon, which is why there's no criticism, even though X is ostensibly a competitor. Is what it is but the big question is where do they go from here? Now that they've been paid via secondary on that big raise my guess would be some kind of acquisition? From X? Coinbase?

one thing on my mind today is what the u.s. election means for X and therefore for Farcaster It’s clearly a big win for X and will bolster X as the place to be for cryptotwitter banter and conservative takes Whereas prior to the election it was less clear how Elon’s X experiment was going So what does that mean for Farcaster? imo it means Farcaster needs to lean harder and faster into programmable transactions, mini apps, and tokens. Bull market is coming which means more trading and more transactions. Farcaster can own that space. But key is tangible success stories. Apps that got tons of tx volume on farcaster. Tokens that took off on farcaster. People who made zillions on farcaster.

casino is how the next gen gets wealthy and builds better stuff (ideally real)

Zora wants their channel :)

So we’re just building computers that build casinos huh

Reminder: here is the Farcaster username policy - Pragmatism > ideology - Applies to fnames and channel names - Fnames are centralized (for now) but we offer ENS for decentralized usernames (I use ENS!) - Plan is to decentralize channels in the coming months https://warpcast.notion.site/Username-policy-f4f3b1c024b24b3bbc8aaca609b3558e

I will repeat again: channels are about building active communities on Farcaster. They are not an asset to be "flipped".

The election results have only emboldened my mission to teach every single woman in the world how to secure financial autonomy through /shefi. Our current systems may try to strip away women's other rights, but you can still have financial autonomy with crypto. No one can take your crypto from you. I repeat no one! If you are a woman there is not a better time to become self-sovereign. Take control where you can.

1/9 GM Degens, after careful consideration—because it affects you most of all—we’ve decided to share with the community the difficulties we’ve been facing in migrating DEGEN L3 to a new service provider, which has delayed some exciting features. https://paragraph.xyz/@degentokenbase/a-frustrated-migration

Remember polls?

h/t to warpcast team for enabling this type of community building ofc may not work for everyone, but for supercast members i can now offer: - a slow & publicly readable space (channel) - a fast & private space (warpcast chat) all integrated into simple clicks — no need for weird links that can get leaked, strict improvement over discord or telegram cc @cmlad.eth and @gabrielayuso.eth since i think you guys built the apis i’m using (through @neynar, of course)
