GM Farcaster ep195 Monday December 16, 2024 with @dish @clanker

What Georgios is saying is that it’s actually good for you that Farcaster doesn’t have the latest perps trading hoo ha hype, actually 😝 https://x.com/gakonst/status/1868490743439823311

Bitcoin hit another ATH today! Meanwhile ETH:

sold a few along the way but my lil huddle is mighty cute

I just bought something hyperreal (ROC camera by @july) using something hyperfake (my winnings from copy-trading @zinger on SOL memecoins). The Ultimate Rotation 🤌

CT trends? you mean being the next exit liquidity? yeah we had that here recently with all the clanker coins. >>> culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march you mean the airdrop farmers trying to extract as much money as possible from degen tips? >>> culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” they were 1 foot through the door and never committed to farcaster because rebuilding an audience takes actual effort. nobody here cares that you have 100k dickriders on twitter who blindly parrot everything you say. be real and have actual conversations. vitalik is still around and enjoying it.

Can someone let @balajis.eth know this is exactly what we are building with roc.camera https://x.com/balajis/status/1868366995361800606?s=46

We're shipping our first Roc.camera device out next week... (what?!) We also have 6 devices left in batch 1 -- so if you've been thinking on getting a device, now is the time!

@dwr.eth was right not starting @super as a mobile app was a complete fumble you live and learn, i’m glad we are fixing our mistakes going into 2025 also a year ago i was nowhere as ambitious as i am right now

why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends? not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN how could this be? yeah, listen, i don’t know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of us—it has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with culture—it has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of us… this a unicorn app & there are 5k of us… more than 2 years in… and there are 5k of us—made even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feed—the only project that had sustainably brought in more users culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself

vehemently disagree unless you think culture is a static thing. discuss:

1. We need better content. 2. We need serious, highly organized teams in one place/city routinely building 60 hours a week. 3. Discovery quality is a function of data quality, and we don’t have enough data. Data scientists are allergic to web3.. Too early. 4. Apps aren’t native nor pushing net new experiences.

You can't try to target CT for your primary growth and not have the main crypto narratives circulate over here. Just makes zero sense. @dwr.eth why do you think this is happening? virtuals was another example, amongst many. it's existential. how do we fix this? /bestofct is more for just jokes/fun /brypto seems like the logical place cc @androidsixteen.eth do we really need a new channel?

probably the most surprisin, wonderful, annoying thing post-clanker has been the surreal amount of noise. users, friends, people I once saw as friends, opps, collaborators, token holders, vcs, cex, other founders, IRL friends, family, random anons on twitter, warpcast. challenge, opportunity: there is signal in that noise, staying receptive to signal regardless of the type, source less obvious challenge: the ego part. so many people saying what we should do, at precisely the moment where choices we made were playing out as we'd hoped! differently too. another ego part: some of those people know way more about X or Y than us. tension is generative, you don't learn thinking you're right all the time & you don't make good choices by being reactive. You simply navigate, discuss, try, and then try again. avoid obvious pitfalls and study failures. the path is less clear than anyone makes it out to be. but also, there is signal in the noise.

Is anyone else getting freaked out by these drones in NJ? When the Senator from NJ doesn’t even know what’s up, that’s quite disconcerting. https://x.com/andykimnj/status/1867582643346571730?s=46&t=N80rptBytKhSU-csz4Akrg

What a time to be alive Working with @clankfun has been exhilarating, @nt and @senyil.eth ship hard and are comfortable moving fast, trying things. Excited to cook with all these wonderful people

In the past week and a half there's been so many speculations as to what happened with Haliey Welch aka Hawk Tuah and $HAWK. From the moment the token launched, multiple things just didn't seem to add up to me. Instead of being just another account on here speculating for engagement farming though, I decided to see if I could actually tell the story with CoinDesk. That evening I reached out to overHere, and put together a story as to what happened without speculating too much either. Let me know your thoughts! https://t.co/RbqHfeTycD
