you had you know bought them with eth

i know right but i bought them with degen

other two i'd love to see king in there maybe king and farcaster admin dot eath

if you have any guesses and you're in our in our chat please drop your guesses in there i'm curious and singing is optional gregarious yes at the at the farcaster brunch so oops having issues what were you gonna say sorry

i just like if only there were prediction markets where we could if only i know yeah

it's if only there was a prediction market on who is next yeah i'm very excited to see that that new those two new hires and i'm excited to see that announcement later today hopefully this is the big the big ish news over the past few days has been the change in spam filtering and everybody listen to me right now everybody lost followers it wasn't just you jesse everybody else it wasn't just you we all did in about the same percentages so it's all good so this is from dwr why did my follower account decrease one yesterday so this was a couple days ago we changed how warpcast counts followers by excluding users our algorithm flags as spammy two twitter at least historically and instagram both do this three we've had an uptick in spam recently so as part of improving our spam models we decided to make this change four view this less as losing followers and more us giving you a more accurate but not perfectly accurate view of your audience five there are additional improvements we can make here and we will likely do that over the coming weeks months six important this change only affects warpcast display it does not alter protocol data those accounts still follow you and if you follow a spammy account i e you don't find it spammy you'll see all their casts seven third party apps can access warpcast open source spam labels and then finally please see the next cast for other thoughts i've shared so the bottom line is go ahead go ahead adrienne

you're on the bottom line is we live in a social media world where everybody focuses on follower counts and other arbitrary metrics that determine how we feel about ourselves but guess what it doesn't really matter because especially in this case where the you you look at a number right and you think you're doing well these aren't real people that you want following you so your follower counts are not your worth there we go people are you're you're much you're much much better off having fewer followers and

having them be quality in actual people yeah yeah so treat it like being social network not social media doesn't matter what the number is so it's all good

my follower counts went down i do check i'm not

you're immune kinda don't check

i check but i just it's just a number

it is yeah and especially when everyone gets the same haircut or in you know some range of that haircut it really doesn't matter if the bangs don't look good because you're all wearing the same haircut it's all good

i'm sure there's someone you can compare yourself to that did not get as much of a haircut as you but stop comparing yourself to other people

yeah it's not worth it and i love this there was some downtime so team is investigating downtime and brad said oh i know what happened to warpcast it's a return to the bots like they they're not bots they're back and they're not happy spammy people yeah they're just spammy and and this is the other thoughts on this a few spammy accounts can be and more often are are than not are humans they're not necessarily bots run by software when bots people find bots useful we call them ai agents by the way i saw you calling your bot a bot that was funny and that

he's not a graduated agent

he's not an agent yet okay few more things and then we're bringing up polymarket intern very excited to chat this from brian armstrong what are your what are you most excited about for crypto in 2025 for me in random order stablecoin payments prediction markets hello the rise of self custodial super apps decentralized social aka that's farcaster base getting legislation passed in the us bitcoin strategic reserve tokenized traditional securities getting capital formation on chain getting perpetual futures approved in the us by the way he does do on chain properly so we thank you for that brad brian very cool to see him casting again too we've got some folks coming back into the fold and that is nice to see and then this was from jesse we are building the future of the internet right here right now it is is it messy and weird and scary at times yes absolutely but couldn't imagine a better group of people to be doing it with and i agree i feel like right now we're in this moment where there's a lot of interesting energy happening on in farcaster in a in a really great way where you have all these new hires you have all these things happening and it feels like we're on the cusp of something i think the coinbase wallet integration is really interesting i just think there's a lot of cool things happening that yeah that are gonna lead to some big things here and and and balajis back my strong impression is that farcaster's feed is much more positive than the feed of other sites who wants to prove that with sentiment analysis oops sorry thank you and that was interesting to see and there was a really cool one from betashop so betashop had a great sentiment analysis from moxie ai analyzing casts and tweets from people he follows so really interesting to see some tools being developed to actually be able to answer that question well i called in ethernet and asked gina but they were just kinda meh

people was like

where are your sources where are your it wasn't even me

it wasn't

your professor it was her

no i was asking ask gina ask gina is like it's a 25% increase in positive sentiment i'm like good answer show your work show your

work and i was just like okay

okay love this cast from biology which is hilarious because anyone who's been around in farcaster for the past two years as a daily active user that's me just intuitively knows this i do not need any data i do not need a sentiment analysis it's just so clear that farcaster is more positive like it right and how many how many millions of words have been written about this and i do think it's funny that for biology to be asking this like i get the you know some someone will get the data he'll use it to i'm sure to good effect

oh yeah for sure a couple more quick things before we move on

you can now change your wallet to warplet if you didn't know this yet just go into your wallet and click on the word wallet and it will change to warplet that's all just because so they gave up on trying to not make it happen and just leaned in and i love that about them and then to this from toadyhawk hearing rumors that when the new coinbase wallet is released it will be called coinbase warplet big if true i do not think it's true i do not think it's true

you know kids don't even know what a wallet is i know like no one carries a wallet anymore like it's just it's just a money holder it's just the app that shows them where their money is

i know so that's fine

can we just lose wallet like there's no cool way

to what are

we gonna call it anymore just money holder

money because that's a much better work

it's so much better warplet bank

just crypto holder i don't know okay

notes on warpcast wallet here from b warpcast wallet and rewards aren't available to some users in some regions we're a us based company and are required to follow us law and regulations here's a list of countries we cannot offer the wallet in rewards program too so just fyi this is if you're seeing unsupported region and you're not in one of these countries this can happen because you logged in from one of these areas at least once you don't use warpcast so we don't know your region for rewards so make sure that you know if you have any of those issues just note them here i'm gonna skip that for now

okay very quickly zora has a new model they're okay it's it it took me a minute to fully understand the new model and the there you're gonna understand why i'm telling you about this in a second so instead of you create an nft you create a post and that post becomes a coin automatically so dan has an optimistic case for zora here talking about

optimistic case for a new zora model everything that can be a token will be a token this trend is accelerating because the largest capital market in the world the us is finally finally has pro token regulatory environment using coin and token interchangeably here two if you create digital media you can immediately can earn money no bank account payment process or platforms or contracts or protocol three additionally if you create digital media that goes viral captures internet scale attention you can make a lot of money traditionally the only beneficiaries of internet scale attention are the web two social media platforms they monetize via attention time spent and they minimally share the upside with creators farcoins are the most composable primitive in crypto order of magnitude more than nfts leads to weirder emergent use cases five zora open editions fee distribution stack is underrated for curator app layer except it's not really an open edition alright so that's that's the thing it's totally different it's not there's no nft at all anymore so my first impression of this was that it was the nft plus it became a coin but you're instead of so they did an experiment with this already and if it hit a certain level it became a coin also so you would buy like hundreds of this nft and then you would benefit from the coin it became afterwards this is we're skipping the first part it's not an nft at all so for me this made no sense and i was very confused because again i'm i just want old zora back because i really liked it and i feel like this should have been a fork but regardless not my business so not my choice but i i still feel that way however i understand where this is going and it took me a couple days of thinking about this to understand where this was going and the only way this makes sense is if you had integrated it into an existing social graph like instagram you turn this on then it makes sense because i just wanna collect this very cool viral post and trade on it speculatively so to me what social graph makes sense to integrate into zora so we'll see lens yeah lens that's exactly it

is that what we're talking about

so my guess is that maybe zora's gonna become a farcaster client but like an instagram type version of this which we've heard discussed many times and then it makes a little more sense and the reason i say this also is because lemons so somebody was experimenting and dropped something called lemons do you know who launched this adrienne

yeah so he posted

this grapefruit yes no yeah lemons

lemons was only done on zora the grapefruit was done on the so there you go and also this was more a shout out to the token pages which i should have put dollar sign lemon in here so you guys could actually see the token page because i couldn't figure out why i was seeing dollar sign lemons everywhere and then i clicked on it went to the token page and then saw cast and that helped me like figure it out what the heck was going on so thank you for that but there's been a lot of feelings on this and there's a lot of back and forth about whether it's good or not i have been critical and i've been critical on twitter and and warpcast a little bit about this but i think i needed to change my i'm still critical in a different way though this isn't gonna bring artists this is no longer for artists at all like they're this has this is not for them like this is not gonna be necessarily a place where you're gonna sell your art as something someone can collect and put in their wallet that's no longer this this is a completely different thing is it do do i mean artists shouldn't jump onto zora no that's not what i mean but it is a very different type of primitive if you would use it similar if you're an artist similar to the way you'd use instagram not the way you would use old zora or manifold or foundation so just have to change your thinking a little bit so like it doesn't make sense for us really probably it makes sense you know only if we're using it the way we use youtube shorts it makes sense but it doesn't make sense for our our thing that we want people to collect and hold and have forever on chain that you know luckily we have pods and that's working well for that purpose okay any thoughts before we bring up our fabulous polymarket intern

not really

been waiting patiently okay so that's that i've had some interesting conversations about this over the past few days and it it really yeah it's just a a completely different approach to this and i don't know where it's gonna go but i think if it's either integrated into coinbase wallet or integrated or farcaster it becomes a farcaster client that seems like probably the only approach that makes sense so we'll see what happens alright are we ready we gotta bring up we gotta bring up goldy we gotta bring up goldy to the stage welcome goldy we're bringing you up oh you're muted

you need to unmute first

there we go is that working now

thank you we're a

so so let's talk about lemons being minted no yeah i did buy

some of other ones lemons

without knowing anything about it and i'm not selling because i'm collecting the lemons or whatever we're doing out here

we're holding we're hodling lemons now apparently that's what we do that's what we do now hey are you in denver are you gonna be at east denver

or no york city

new york right now okay no i didn't know if you were going to east denver is what i meant

i will not be at eat denver however if you are at eat denver please go to the gm farcaster brunch so many incredible things going on there there's gonna be maybe heaters who knows we'll talk to the cfo of the gm farcaster podcast

we'll we'll do that you know if you were there we i think some people need to sing a song in goldy's honor by the way and you guys just i

song karaoke many songs like backstreet boys

okay oh okay everybody there we go there we go yeah okay i see i feel we're gonna make it happen we're gonna make it happen in your honor ask a question you have a question you said go ahead

question my question was gonna be i totally forgot the question but sort of to you about the show first of all the consistency is incredible like being able to see you guys do this daily for

episode 218 right here incredible yeah

kind of curious your thoughts and lessons around live content on farcaster about farcaster like taking a bit of a step back because it's something that i think about often in terms of what's the best medium to get content about farcaster whether it's live on farcaster with the farcaster audience a farcaster community like is it do you do do you think about clips more do you think about kinda just building out the consistency because this is i would say the longest running most consistent farcaster content period

yeah pretty much

that's all professor i've had to quit like 10 times i

won't let her quit

every other week i'm like hey do we really wanna keep doing this

like should we just take her work

and she just shows up literally every like week after week after she's she's incredible

but also it's just like deciding you're just gonna keep doing it and and the one thing that we haven't done well yet is incorporate stream so that we're streaming directly on warpcast and it's because there's a little bit of friction there that i just need to figure out to make sure that we can do it in an easy way that it doesn't cause us to like you know but we'll

get there

we'll get there

like farcaster is a text based social network

so obviously it needs a video based podcast

it well it does right i mean you're gonna have to add all so yeah i think it's hard enough just to show up three times a week wherever we are to talk so even slowly like we we weren't on youtube for the first four months like we were only we were doing only on unlubly we're yeah barely put you know and so i think over time we're gonna add but i think we we both really just focus on just create the content and do it consistently and then and then we can kind of add i do think we'll be adding like even clips we're awful like clips

oh my god so bad

should should probably do a lot more we're getting a little better

we're getting better but we need we need more clips especially now with the thing that dylan is building which is a video feed called tap

i don't know if you've

seen that so cool and i think like that may open up some opportunities there yeah so there you go

and for everyone who tells us to do more clips you've got yesterday posting stop doing clips so it does well you've been streaming

yeah yeah i've been doing streaming myself i like yeah one i am inspired by you guys to do more content i've been doing a few streams and i honestly have the same issue when it comes to i would assume it's something around obs feeds and lie or and what's like what what's the best way to get a live feed directly into farcaster or warpcast or the the most optimal way and how do you overlay graphics you know are you using streamyard are you using a little obs maybe mixing in some

we use streamyard and then as soon as somebody mentions the words obs i want to go hide under the covers because we used obs for like the first six seven months and it's a beast it's really great if you know how to use it but it

takes a lot

of learning

when it's live it's confusing to change things yes i definitely i i mean i've used

streamyard super easy costs money super easy we can talk we we lend out our streamyard so that we you know have some extra seats so if you're interested we can we can hook you up and you can try that out but i think consistency is key in like building the audience because the other thing is we've had people ask us about live versus recorded and we talked with dina about this from boys club and she's like how do you do like live seems like harder i'm like it's actually easier because you're just taking everything you're doing and then and then putting it out as a recording but also you have the audience to like bounce off of and especially if you're gonna do it solo like you need somebody to bounce things off of whether that's the audience or our cohost it makes a huge difference but even just the audience is really good to bounce off of like so we have great chatters they show up every single day some of them like i can't even yes to crypto miriams sigwider like so many of the people in this chat right now are here have been here for like a year almost every single episode so k b c's here like since the beginning metadata like so many of them and that is so helpful for us to like have those folks supporting and just being able to play off of and then like they're in on the joke so it's really fun you know like they they get our jokes and stuff

red wings the best tweak baby

good right yeah

i have had the pleasure of knowing this gentleman for a while i mean it's it's something i think about often because it's it's i do live because it's easier just from the process of of me clicking buttons to someone on the other side seeing it in some way but my internal issue is i'm like oh like it's easy to get something out on the live side but i also haven't built up the consistency in the audience space why these people are here one because you guys are incredible and two because you've done it every single day and you're so consistent that you know leads people to wanna you know have fans and the lore and the segments and everything that you guys do is is building off of the last things you guys have done whereas with me like the cold start issue to some degree is you know what's the flow what's the schedule okay now that i did a two hour livestream of me forgetting how time works like is anyone just gonna click through and scroll through probably not so i think for me i i'm thinking you know is it i wish that that stream did something around clipping because that's yeah that would be

there is so within streamyard there are like tools that you can do clips and ai clips and things like that but you still need some editing after the fact but you can do some basic really pretty quickly and adrienne's been pretty good about doing clips at times and phases just not last week she was on vacation but you like what are you using right now adrienne for clips are you still using like i

know you're using playing with the right i started playing with the automatic streamyard like will generate ai clips sometimes it picks the right things like oh right and as long as it picks the right like like snippet that's interesting it's you can almost send it as is sometimes i like to edit it a little like a little bit and then sometimes it picks the dumbest things we talk about i'm like why would i why would anyone wanna listen to this as a clip it's just stupid so like why would

no one would listen to us ever again i think the other thing too is putting it everywhere where people like after the fact even though you're doing it live taking the recording putting it on spotify putting it on youtube putting it on you know rss so it goes out to apple and all the places i think is really helpful too because everyone has their place they like to listen to content and it's so not everyone's gonna be able to be there live but they still become part of the community they share your stuff they talk about what you talked about things like that so yeah just keep showing up and also like set it so that it's something you can do consistently like don't overpromise we have many times said we thought we'd eventually be every day and i still am like no we can't do this every day because it's too much and it will burn us out so the three days a week is perfect but even once a week for most people it's gonna be plenty and starting there and then build up from there but that's my but all biggest suggestion

and are you trying to stream just like for you yourself are you doing it for polymarket like what's the is it to connect with people is it just like because it's fun is it your brand is it media question

i would say it's a mix of things like i kinda more trying it for myself before we do bigger things with polymarket since i think you know anything i i i do on behalf of polymarket which is one to some degree anything i do in general but like is you know wanna have a higher bar of you know specificity and do things you know make a make a splash and have a lot of fun whereas for myself i'm more content you know talking for three hours straight with a non poppy about the intricacies of why we're buying the wrong clankers that is you know i i watch

watch that stepping out of you know the polymarket prediction market sense which there's a lot of awesome things there i just myself like to trade meme coins on farcaster and complain about all the features that don't exist that i want because i care so much about farcaster

i love that

okay final question ready are you are you when when you stream are you recording as well

i do record but then just once it's done you're like woof we're done that was great and then

so you're not doing anything with the recording

not yet but there well k there are we need

there are some incredible edits being made behind the scene and i can't speak too much more about that but down the line we're gonna have more regular quick clip farming getting done speaking of that if you're out here listening you're like wow i wish that you had more clips and i wanna help you with that please let me know

where and are you doing a consistent stream or no not yet

not not exactly i i i think it's process a and something i wanna lean in more to and additionally i you know constantly am okay you know how could farcaster grow what is farcaster missing i harp planning about the type of content i would like to see on farcaster and then i'm realizing myself oh like just make the content you wanna see i think that's

this is a perfect example of that of

this is yeah

this is like i wanted to talk about what's happening on farcaster with my friend exactly and then we just streamed it to other people

it's like and we made more friends

and we made more friends

like that's what have we're gonna

have our little coffee and we're gonna talk about you know what's going on and yeah you know and and bring other people into it and yeah but we you know let's let's talk afterwards because i have some other thoughts but i just don't know you know if you're no worries if you're open to them but like right like just hang out when we stop if you can and then i'll give you a couple other other thoughts there but i i would think you should definitely i think you've got the obviously your personality is perfect for this kind of thing and you and a non poppy sorry that's hilarious because he's just crazy and i

he's scared

in the in the best possible way like absolutely did you see that video he did where he was trying on all the merch from farcon

oh my god go just go scan his feed and find it because it's hilarious we showed it on the show hilarious and he's like it's a whole edit and it's really funny

he is truly one of a kind

yeah so funny so i think there's i think there is definitely an audience for talking about meme coins and clankers and talking about polymarket absolutely like no question you could just be going through like what's what's trending what are people talking like where what closed what were some big you know predictions that were closed and how they turn out like that alone huge audience i guarantee it like tremendous audience

currently today the the german election i believe just closed and the a the afd did not win but they gained a significantly larger share of the vote than people expected which you know vote counts like the nitty gritty things kinda get mean i i'm not as familiar with the german election system but things get ironed out more i'm not totally sure but it sounds like afd did not win

you know very that's those are definitely things that for polymarket you know being able to have betting markets on elections and prediction markets there the downstream effect is i think there's less places to get reliable election data information

i think that was really huge during the us election this year that i mean that's where polymarket really got attention mainstream where it was like i'd be watching like just random news show and i'm like oh my god talking about polymarket this is crazy you know but it was like in a great way like i loved seeing that sort of just filter in in a very natural organic fashion where they started talking about it the way they're talking about polls and i think it was so interesting to watch that play out and watch how you know markets in general play out in that way and and you could see sentiment move and change when different things were happening in the news and it was just really interesting to watch that and see where people were landing and what from that experience like what how did you guys feel about that attention and how did that like in terms of overall like after effects i guess is the question

it's a good question i would say in terms of attention like i guess kind of the goal for polymarket was to you know have our election markets kinda be like an information aggregator mhmm i think it was i previous to working at polymarket kind of come from like the background of the sports betting world and that is very much i mean that is even new too but even five years ago you know it's a huge faux pas to even mention the spread or the over under on the broadcast and now you know espn has their own sports book and every know they're they're stuffing you with oh the line on here but on draftkings here have you heard of prizepigs here and it's at the end of the day it's all about you know the that line the the odds so to speak are any talk about the weather and who's playing you know someone's has a sore hammy you know well someone's might be sick and the coach might be doing this like there's so much

money there's data points lot of data points

it kind of all gets baked into this line by vegas and the handicappers and where the action is whereas with the elections there wasn't really like polls are an indication of what i guess what either who i'm think i'm gonna vote for myself and there's a bias there or here's who i think you know a few other people might vote for but not really here's who i think everybody's gonna vote for because you're not really voting for who i mean it depends on for different people but you're voting for here's who i'm gonna vote for not i'm i'm voting for who i think is gonna win right you have an impact with your vote that's kind of the whole point of democracy whereas i think

because you could very well have one opinion about who you're gonna vote for and another opinion about who you think is gonna win correct who you're gonna put your money on

in terms of and that happen that happens even on a small way on like a ponder poll with the prediction polls and i'm like i'm like well i'd say this but that's probably gonna win or even something stupid like yapster we're seeing it

play out in a lot of different ways i love like prediction markets

by the way do you very very cool okay fan of everything they're doing over there and you're just to see see the iteration and trying new things and you know oh are we gonna do it every day is it a meta and okay here's you know the different wrinkles like some more memes less memes my favorite feature is the voice chat like you know growing up as a young man on the internet playing on xbox live or fifa or call of duty or whatever like it it there's a nostalgic vibe to me of you know talking shit to other people

talking shit in the lobby absolutely

which talking shit

in the lobby

i don't know if we can do this we probably can't do this or do it yet but like doing that like it on an nba game market on polymarket if people yeah we have on our comment section which i think is something farcaster honestly could bring in to some degree but like if you have a position on a market it shows the amount of shares you have on that account so you know if it's the election market a lot of the funniest comments were like you know someone with 10,000 shares of michelle obama like making jokes about you know well i don't know if kamala has the legs here and it's like that's pretty

yeah granted sometimes person who's literally not in the race at all

correct sometimes people will also buy one share yeah to say hey like i really really need trump to win here and you know they've it says like one shared donald trump and that always takes me

you're gonna get they're gonna get like $2 yes

i think it's a mix of the two to some degree like it's there is a degree also of you know prediction markets aren't saying definitive right oh well if someone is at 70% at any point they're gonna win not exactly like it's it's again in the sports world you know if someone is

yeah 70% chance to win a game and they lose a game it doesn't mean that you know the platform was wrong or vegas was wrong it just happened that there was an upset and that's the way things happen in the world there's plenty of upsets

like plenty of cinderella stories i mean march madness is a perfect example of that

a lot madness very exciting

big things planned for march madness you know

just tell us can you give us any

i can't tell you the extent of it but just okay you know we have college basketball live on polymarket now which is very exciting in my opinion last year kind of the the first thing i did for polymarket on farcaster was we did a on chain march madness bracket frame that minted your bracket as the nft which was kind of an experiment to see okay frames are new prediction market sports kinda what's the best way to intersect there and then seeing what bracket's done like big fan of you know tim and and you know it's cool to see like a agentic bookies is something i've i've i've always been thinking about and you know to to see how that's playing out is very exciting that there's actual you know horsepower and engineering power and you know salary spent on how do we figure out to do you know farcaster native specifically sports prediction markets i'm like that's awesome so

i love it for like i still wanna use it for things like cast out i loved it when we used it for cast out like something that's just very niche and community focused and pickleball we did it for pickleball farcon pickleball you know like that to me is just like adding this element of fun to something you're doing with your community i think is is great it doesn't have to be you're not gonna win a million dollars betting on adrienne playing pickleball but

but you could win a million degen

you could i and it's

can i just quickly touch on that for one second yeah yeah the one thing that like really sticks out to me that i find interesting to talk about is like how market structure of all these different markets like impacts the training activity and kinda how it's like a full circle thing because like with bracket it's it's more of a it's more i mean the brackey picking stuff is like an agentic bookie in a new spin then very exciting to me but seeing how you know bracket is very similar to like a contest like not like the sweepstakes contest purely but it's you know you're you're riding a team and the initial thing that excited me with bracket is like you know there's the collective usc didn't make it that year because it's a it's a joke program we're actually a woman's basketball school shout to juju watkins but like yeah you know true ponder has some degree of its i love how it's it's almost like a family feud prediction market to some degree which is yes i think a better model if for what they do in terms of like you wanna know what other people think is gonna happen as not necessarily is that gonna happen but what is the consensus opinion of everybody on what's gonna happen which gives a bit of a different read but it's kind of works very well in the timeline you know what i mean

i love that you mentioned ponder's family feud because i literally have had that conversation with about doing a family feud style game show

that would be awesome

here with like with using like the surveys from ponder ponder like to pull in that information like

please do that

hundred hundred forecaster surveyed here's their answers kinda thing i think could be really fun we have to figure out a way to do it anonymously the way they do ponder right now doesn't really work for that

but matthew created a frame to do do you remember matthew created like a family feud frame yes

playing it and i stopped playing it and i wonder what happened to it

yeah i think it just it just you know he moved on he's busy i know there was a moment but i do think there's yeah i think there's different ways in which you've got a lot of different approaches to prediction markets right now which are really interesting but you know to a point that you brought up you know vegas vegas odds in vegas that's been happening since you know sixties seventies '50 i don't even know way back on all kinds of crazy things you'd always hear that reporting but most people didn't have access to actually do anything with that information because it wasn't legal and where they were or whatever like you you know there we didn't have online you know betting and things like that so it's just kind of brought that to the masses and i think that's what you know polymarket really has done as well is bring that to a much wider audience but it was really interesting to see the different types of prediction markets especially around the us election kinda coming to play and really playing a role in what people were reporting on and looking at and taking in as data so it was yeah really fascinating i think we're in a just a whole different world right now go ahead adrienne i know you got a question

can we talk about access in the us

yeah yeah so polymarket you were not allowed to trade on polymarket in the us in france in england ontario and a few other restricted areas which is unfortunate you know it's due to a deal that we made with the with the just it's illegal in the current setup there are which i would stress i don't think that devalidates our odds and the value of the information at all but

it there there still is issues with i guess you know as brian armstrong said perps aren't legal in in america and right it's unfortunate to see that and there is a new you know regulatory environment being ushered in and i also would say that there is a lot of optimism but also we don't you know we we don't exactly know how things are gonna play out and the trump administration is i wanna say inauguration was the twenty fifth so it's been under a month

so far it feels

like it's gone so fast

it's been a month it's been a month and four days like we're yeah we're still new

time flies this has been yeah i mean i i do think that trump especially like you know there's he's a bit more of a wildcard in certain way which is why people were attracted to him to some degree and i think that you know having prediction markets around in a trump presidency offers a lot of not necessarily more value but a different kind of value with doge and all that thing getting spun up there and we have a lot of markets on you know kinda what he does in the first hundred days and to to to some degrees of more you know pop culture type things around you know some of the social culture war type issues and then you know there's we have the in my opinion one one of the most important prediction markets we have running and that is running you know there are a few different places have this market but around when and if the bitcoin strategic reserve happens and i think that could hopefully be a big opening point for the us government taking a a clear positive regulatory stance towards crypto whether or not that happens i think you know being able to track the likelihood of that happening through a prediction market and i think you know people talk about things getting priced in and you know the the famous wall street bets post you know everything's priced in

you're never gonna beat the market i do think with prediction markets and crypto like there are certain corners and pockets of these markets where things are priced in to some degree but i i think of prediction markets as kind of more of a a longer tail indicator like with bitcoin with the eth etf last summer that was one of the more interesting markets seeing how the price corresponded on that market and and via which date that happens and the price of eth then you know is there an etf is it not an etf when does etf happen when is the prediction market gonna resolve like there's a lot of it's less like oh it's it's all standard because if everything was priced in it would be 99 to one on everything

i think additionally one area i think is incredibly interesting for us to explore just in prediction markets in general is like being able to hedge on like for example i see the penguins here love the pudgy penguins like there was such an interesting game theory situation going on with the pengu drop before app rack came what's the pengu airdrop gonna be worth how much are you gonna get what's the floor price of the penguin gonna be the week after the drop what's the fdv float like there's so many questions and if you give people you know in legal jurisdictions on whatever platform they're using the ability to if you're really gonna do is say okay here's the contract address i know of the penguins that the tokens are locked i wanna like set up a few agents to trade on my behalf that if you know if the ratio of floor price of penguin versus the amount of tokens i own gets to a certain point set set up you know open up a dca on jupiter to sell the tokens while you're hedging the probability of the fdv to be a bit lower on one side like there's so many different layers to it and that's where i think like the market structure does inform the market itself like with with meme coins they're untapped markets like they're essentially attention to market to some degree that could be worth zero could be worth infinite money like right yeah but with prediction markets i i mean with the structure of markets on polymarket like you know by a certain point it's either gonna resolve to you know a dollar or to $0 so i think kind of seeing the way things get informed there is particularly or like with bracket you know you're you're competing with someone else and there's a there's a right degree there of like if we're all on the mavericks and the mavericks win the finals i may get less reward back on the mavericks because i only switched the mavericks in the second round but you were riding them all the way through the playoffs right so i think yeah that just

happened with the super bowl like the you know the ones who had the eagles early on really made out whereas those who came in at the end probably didn't do as well you know or maybe even lost depending on if you switch from something else along the way kinda thing yes so it's fair it's yeah

or you took the eag like this the the new bracket brachy agentic betting thing which i

think is so cool

a bit of like shows you the two different ways that market structure impact the reward and the competition whereas like i was i was upset honestly because i'm like man like has the same amount of shares like i don't want this how can i buy more like i want a bigger stake but there it it was a level playing field whereas on the other side of it it was it was more of what i'm traditionally used to whereas you know if you want right a billion brachi i mean not that much i think there was a bit of a

limit there a billion brachi what's the what's the we're gonna make a brachi we're gonna keep making more brachi yeah make bracket gating great again that's i think there's yeah there's so many ways all of this can go i think the eight you know when you're talking about agenic betting essentially or bracket as like a agenic bookie if you will for those who maybe don't understand what we're talking about this is an ai agent that is like dealing with whatever prediction you're you're wanting to to put out there i'm saying these in all the ways that i hope are legal so i also not trying to

ruffle any feathers bracky is just an account on farcaster that you know leaves comments and offers an opportunity

it offers it offers ideas it will leave it good information too it gives you like opinion and like if you can ask it about what do you think of this and what do you think of that and i think we'll see more of like the more data you can build into something like that the better it's gonna be and i think that's really interesting i think we're in a very interesting moment with the agents that we're gonna see some really cool experiments in all different areas but this is one of them for sure

touch on that for 30 and then i'm gonna just take take a step back but like that's one thing that i excites me the most about prediction markets in general which is on a meta level you know every market is a prediction market to some degree but with you know d decentralized on chain prediction markets it's it's essentially it's a competition to be to predict to some degree to make the most money as possible to and via that simple goal the it puts a bounty on timing information which i think is certain times that is best accessed by an agent or by using ai tooling better so than just me surfing the web like right for example with the nba trade deadline this might have less of an impact on the greater world like you know i really wanna know when is where is jimmy butler gonna get traded but as a person you're kind of you know you can do your research and hopefully maybe i don't know let me see who i can call like i'm not gonna call any nba people there's a lot of nba reporters and stuff that are trying to break the news so kind of the market is informed by who's best you know grabbing the information and you know analyzing sentiment from tens of sources hundreds of betting odds you know where is jimmy butler posting on instagram did he unfollow so and so and that kind of translates on towards you know what's happening with the ukraine and how is trump gonna handle that there and oh well who's gonna be the new secretary of defense and who's the secretary of state and kind of what's their policy and where's their sentiment and you know what's their intern tweeting from their twitter account like there's so many layers that i think being able to price these markets is a way to for me in in my opinion like people are gonna bet no matter what but absolutely being able to harness that information to just like we did in the election and with other markets that are you know people care about in different ways give that information to the world that anybody can see which i think is cool

totally cool and i i i think you're right like just being able to aggregate all that data and all that information and also find things that maybe a a human wouldn't even realize is important like you know unfollowing somebody or something like that being able to pick up on stuff like that is really really interesting or analyze photos and be like oh you know where this person is right now they're in la that's not miami that's you know that's somewhere else i'd be like oh okay that's important information you know picking up location data and things like that so very cool you're getting i love this can't believe the polymarket intern is this deep man yeah for real like no joke

good thing or a bad thing very good thing oh great the yeah no i have to say like interns who play well on farcaster are incredibly smart clever and just very savvy so and i think you were the first example of i'm

probably the least savvy

play out no you're pretty savvy and like just watching some like people take your lead as an intern i think it's been really cool and when we say intern we mean it like this because sometimes it's not really they're not really an intern these are very smart capable humans who are are doing are posing like putting themselves in that role because it it allows for a lot more entertainment factor too

we have a growing

important cool yeah very cool this it's okay we're we're

you actually have do you have a real intern program

that's said in jest but i believe in the summer tbd will get more information but if you are a designer watching this and you design incredible things and you love beautiful design and product design dm polymarket on any platform that you're on

we would love we would love to talk to you

there you go

no that's good to know

plug that out there

we'll send some people your way yeah xerox designer they're calling

xerox designer

i have kids goldy i have kids coming up on i have kids coming up on intern age so i'm always looking looking out for them

yeah for real

yes we are if if you make good stuff and you are an awesome person like we we we wanna get to know you like a bit of a story on how i started working at polymarket is i was

i'd love to know that

i was working on a a sports betting prediction market nft kind of fun project of myself and i was working at bright moments shout out to phil yeah phil yeah which is cool and awesome and it was very you know very different like the traveling nft crypto art gallery with all the incredible artists and art blocks and ai art and you know the hospitality side of things was incredible but i you know the internships i did in college was around kind of social sports gaming and betting related stat startups shout out to i don't know if doubles is still around but double crown gaming and they actually this start up trend sold to a company called cool stuff like was like doing markets on insurance around sports tickets like interesting like if you really wanna see the warriors but you really only wanna go see steph you could buy insurance that if steph gets hurt and misses the game or can't make it you get some insurance payout there but like i i would recommend this strategy or approaches in general to young creators of i saw polymarket i did a lot of research on polymarket thought it was awesome then i'm like you know what they aren't making enough you know social short form content on twitter so i just started making it myself like featuring polymarket odds and stuff and doing stuff and just tagging them in it i'm like hey here's the you know south carolina primary prediction with data by polymarket and you know i just like threw in some funny jokes and made one about ryan gosling winning the oscar which he did not and they hit me up they're like

for for barbie i you know broke down all the stats i'm like well you know it's been a hundred years or maybe not a no eighty years since someone won three won best picture best director best actor and best supporting actor you know ryan be a big fuck you if ryan oops sorry

i apologize i don't wanna start it's okay

that's alright big f you if ryan came in and won the oscar and the whole greta gerwig and just like i think it's

interesting to dance with the narratives and the data itself but yeah i i just started making videos about polymarket and posting them online and they said hey these are awesome let's you know how can we help you or i said how can i help you like i wanted to do this for you so kind of it's kinda how i got my foot in the door and then you know doing some farcaster stuff kinda working with the markets team kinda now more doing a few different things on the in in the growth team but i would say the coolest thing about crypto is the town square so to speak is farcaster all the social apps and just you can yep yes permissionless

i'm a big fan of jack butcher you know kind of his talks about being a permissionless apprentice is a huge inspiration for me of you know just like dan says you know you can just do things like you can just

you just do things

make videos about farcaster post them on farcast

i mean this is our story

literally yeah and it's about farcaster

it's not like dan was like you know what does anyone wanna start a podcast no he was like we just did it and there's a lot of other people like do you even see the people that merkel is hiring they just did things they just went out and did things and they then they got their you know attention from them when they were finally looking for people it was like oh they've already done x y z on farcaster we're gonna just pull them so i love that that was your initiative and i so i i'm still teaching one class at the university level and i try to express this to my students but you'd be surprised at how many are just too freaking lazy to like take that kind of initiative so like good on you for doing that because that is how you're going to get ahead in this world at this current moment like the job market isn't gonna drop you your dream job like on your lap you're gonna have to show proof of work of work proof work there you

go i'm trying

proof of stake joke but i yeah

there's just nothing there yeah proof of work is still the one

for you i speaking of new farcaster hires it'll be it's an honor to announce that no i don't have any well one dan should dan should let you break one of the stories and have i know the live announcement on the show and the interview there like hello dan let's check the title

be pretty cool

i i agree one thing i would love to field the show and kinda get get some thoughts here would would be big fan of ted she's a friend of mine she's best how can what like that did you do

like go did you do that 50,000 mile

the giant walk absolutely i did

some we started

didn't didn't everybody end up with bucket hats too

everyone ended up with bucket

this is not news this is not an announcement but farcon twenty twenty five there's a lot of blocks in new york city and a lot of and there could be something exciting going down with you know it it would be a real shame we brought it back turbo in the big apple in the heart of the city

i i fully expect that to happen and i will i would love to take part in part of that but probably not the whole thing

the thing i was joining at

night i envisioned myself in a cab going where are you gonna be okay i'll meet you there

but it doesn't have to be a full encompassing thing we're kinda figuring out the details but what i would say is like that is a perfect example of a farcaster i don't if it's marketing content however you wanna say it but ted just saw this he's like this is crazy we should do this

who wants to do this yeah and then people

yeah we love know if

it's a controversial thing i'm just definitely

loved it but like then it kind of just happened and i you know flew in from new york to do it met a bunch of people shout out to and ted and all these incredible people and alyssa and rez and all you know matthew joined for probably yeah 20 miles which 20 miles is a lot of miles like not easy

still can't believe you guys did that

it was it was hot too it was like

the middle of the summer in

los angeles but building off of that like what is how do how does farcaster get more organic moments like that because i think that's like the perfect success story for for you know content and excitement on farcaster there's things that kind of get spun up organic people being like how funny would that be and then people just kind of lean into it

and i feel like there's a lot of things that do happen like that like farcon is exactly that you know it's develop it's it's building and building but it's exactly how that started it was like a couple people saying hey we should just get people together to like hang out and talk about farcast you know it's like it's there's a lot of that happening over and over again but you're right i'd love to see more of that for sure

so the bigger the network gets right and the bigger farcon gets and everybody looks to farcon as like well if i can't go to farcon i can't do anything so i think we need to just keep reminding people permission decentralize like you don't have to go to farcon new york go like just start with an a local meetup you've got two

other countries in the community farcon asia was great

farcon asia was great like you can do your own farcon like do your do your thing be be the be the change

you can call it something else like you can just just go meet people stream like start a stream start a podcast to host a zoom i mean early in the early days how many people would reach out and just be like hey wanna hop on a zoom like you look interesting you sound interesting and if you're doing if you're new to farcaster today like don't go after the people who have 300,000 followers to be like hey you wanna meet find the people who are kind of newer to farcaster create your own kind of like community smaller it doesn't mean you can't go after bigger people who've who've been around but they may have less time or

their dms are busy yeah yeah the dms might might be hard to get into but i agree with that 100% and also finding those little meetups do farcaster friday do you run farcaster friday even if it's two people at a restaurant who cares

let's go do it it's fun absolutely super fun

i would also say that also don't think anyone's unapproachable like one cool thing with farcaster that i love is that like it is you know who knows if they'll see it or reach back but there's kind of it's a small enough pond in a cozy way that you know you can talk to anybody and the access that you're able to speak to people is you know a lot of people have nothing to say or let's say hey gm whack me how are you and i'm like hi

how are you how can i help you they're like no

i just wanted to say hi i'm like okay cool which i don't have an issue with that but if someone say hey i'm like dig in yeah i built this frame can you check it out and test it i'm like sure that sounds cool tell me about it do you wanna hop on a call like i think so many great things from farcaster come due to the spontaneity and the kind of trust i have in someone being on farcaster i'm like hey you're yeah you're weird enough to spend time on here too so how can i help

you must be my people yes you're you're you're here every day too you must be somebody i'd like i swear to god

that absolutely

that's kind of my filtering at this moment as well yeah for sure definitely reach out to people or just you know drop in their replies too when they're casting things like and and have like a genuine connection there because that's you know just even responding that's how you really get to know people sharing you know if they're sharing something about themselves you know and you're sharing about her ski trip and you ski that's an easy opening don't come to me with a skiing like i have nothing to say but yeah and this is this has been such a great chat like i think i could i could seriously stay on a stream with you for like hours because there's so many things that we didn't even get to like the oscars are coming up you know it's really funny i was thinking about prediction markets and i'm like i have been doing prediction markets for a really long time but i didn't call it that i called it super bowl squares i called it dead celebrity pools did anyone ever do these those are fun and then ox oscar predictions all the time there was different you know this is early internet this is like you know very early internet where there'd be like forums and different boards and things like that where people would make predictions so how is it heating up for the oscars prediction markets

things are moving i mean i i i think everyone's gonna see memes of the timothee chalamet speech from last night in the green suit and but i think it's it's definitely interesting to see there's nothing that's really in like a massive massive lead except for you know zoe saldina's get at 95% to win for best best supporting actress for emilia perez i haven't doing more stuff downstream there and you know but i believe it's interesting to be informed more by the markets than by the movies themselves like i think there's a degree of like especially to some degree similar to sports like oh i love this movie this one has to win it it doesn't always work that way

yeah it doesn't work

that way i think like there's definitely a a a lot of parody going on and i think last year was very much last year was more certain that oppenheimer was just gonna just yeah destroy everything whereas i think there's more potential for parody here which is interesting i i would be curious you know all award shows aren't the same and the music landscape is different than the hollywood landscape but at the grammys i was like okay you know there's gonna be some love spread around here maybe sabrina gets something here maybe yeah which was all kendrick no it was all kendrick again kendrick was

which was great to see but if you were predicting that based on the past of the grammys like you just look in the you know what mean i wouldn't have predicted that like i was ecstatic to see it but i really didn't think it was gonna happen and i think there's a lot of people out there who were like they're never gonna give it to him they're never gonna you know elevate that you know which they should but they won't and they did so that was really cool to see so some changing shifting something shifted there which was you know very cool to see so that will then have an impact on next year's predictions so yeah which is yeah so it's kinda fun

i think that with i'm gonna quickly button here i also have to run-in in a few minutes but i think that with the oscars it's like there is a degree of the academy sets is is putting people is is kind of with the grammy is like by kendrick winning so many awards it's it's kind of signaling here's to the music industry and to culture at large of here's the direction that that we are gonna platform and we are gonna support and graham there's different voting systems for both awards but kind of with the oscars it's in my mind it is a virtue signaling type of thing to some degree and it's all these people are so incredible and virtue signaling not in a bad way but of signaling to hollywood hey here is here's what we here's the thumbs up that we are giving to when here's what we wanna see more of to some degree which i think is you know a totally tangential bad comparison analogy way like dan can talk about everything cool happening on farcaster and some things he talks about because he sees and and some things he doesn't talk about because he doesn't see but some things that he's you know speaking into existence is that things oh hey this was so cool please give me more of this like i think there there's a degree like that with the oscars and then you know i'm not as much of a hot a handicapper of the oscars but it's half what you think yourself but also sort of like the election here's who i think is gonna win not just my favorite movie

right exactly yeah often it's not your favorite movie that wins

yes often tendency with the oscars that's how it works

yes almost always i know we only have a couple more minutes with you but adrienne do you wanna do a quick lightning round do we have

that sounds fun lightning round

yes we gotta do lightning round alright hit him hit him with a lightning round

okay alright so goldy on farcaster a big theme is the url to irl pipeline so when and how did you make your first internet friend

from farcaster or from

in life like life is the first person in life that you met on the internet first and then later became an irl friend

man that's a that's a tough question

who is the first internet person

we will tell you usually it's like gaming or facebook or

things like thinking right now well i

i know college

sometimes it's college i kinda have one to some degree shout out to my friend colin tweaks really cool stuff going on like when i was at usc i went to u usc fight on he was doing an nft project around that time and i was doing nft stuff at usc at the time and it felt like we were the only people doing that at the same time and i'm like i i need to meet this guy like i actually was mad because i i thought that he rigged the nft raffle there against me another thing i i would also say is previous to that bright bright moments kind of

the whole point was like it was i'm bad at the lightning round thing clearly that's okay

but yes at bright moments so many people through the online crypto community coming together to mint generative artwork together i would say can't pick one but the lovely minters of crypto

the whole entire the whole entire community yeah and that's an incredible community awesome amazing artists alright quick quick adrienne we're gonna move fast

favorite favorite channel on farcaster

favorite channel on farcaster

skin in the game i love skin in the game

oh shout out to the good one good shout out good shout out

morning person or night owl

i'm a night person

beach or mountain

i guess mountain but i like the beach

i just don't like getting wet if that sounds dumb

alright yeah no sweating yeah like most people so like

swimming but then when in when you're like drying off and then the sand sticking to you it's like

i know and then the hair doesn't look as good it's a whole

yeah exactly

alright concert or sporting event

sporting event

i think i feel like i knew what you're

gonna say i could have predicted that

but i like

we should've done a prediction mark country what's the next country you wanna visit

next country i wanna visit i would love to go to

i don't know why but i've i've saw a tiktok of the summers in croatia and they look so beautiful and there's a bit of a mix of mountain and beach yep

and sun water yeah and water

yes i would also like

to there it's kinda random but this

out to me i saw some

cruises going there and i was like oh that'd be interesting yeah

it's a long cruise

yeah camping camping or hotel

camping or hotel

i guess if i'm camping i'm in this scenario i'm thinking it's like a mountain thing and i'm like oh i haven't gone camping in a while let's go camping that

sounds let's go yeah if you could bring one person living or dead to farcaster who would it be

if i could bring one person living or dead that's such a good question it is such a good question that's my new favorite question about you adrienne

let me probably would have honestly said dave portnoy as of yeah a few weeks ago but now i'm like reconsidering that thought

agree agree

love to see on farcaster

even like a week and a half ago i was like oh dave's into crypto now we should get him on farcaster now i'm like

oh no this is why prediction markets are interesting because things actually change over time

yes i actually will say future is unpredictable

i think dave would be good one yeah to that point like i think bringing on a big person that has a platform where their community can come over with them or there's special content or whatever they can only see on the new platform like that's definitely work for streaming i would say but also like dave would just make an account and say hello buy my base token and then just never use farcaster again

so we'd never see

but but but that would be great drama for farcaster so

yeah it would definitely be great drama i agree we would thank you so much for being here with us anything else sorry adrienne i didn't mean to cut you off i thought that was the last one

no we can no i just always end with the same question i'll cut out

oh i forgot yeah

last thing you bought with crypto

i forgot that one

can can i say like like real thing or like i mean the last thing i bought i hope so i bought rizzler last night i would say oh i bought my my farcon ticket
