adrian you were out and about new york city yesterday and you you even saw our friend justin and i was a little jealous i was a little jealous so how was your how was your trip into the city
you you should be we had a good time
try to make me feel better about it you should be
he asked me he said so i don't know nanish proff's first name and i think that's really weird
did you tell him or you're like i'm not telling you it's a secret
i told i told him he said woah woah wouldn't have guessed that
we should let people guess if you're in the chat and don't know my real first name feel free to guess right now
but we met yeah we met for a coffee and then we got hungry so we went for lunch and i pulled up the blackbird app to find somewhere to eat and there was a restaurant like a block away so i hadn't used blackbird since varkon so we all downloaded blackbird app for varkon because right they run-in breakfast and and and it was really cool you could find a restaurant that accepts blackbird you could make the reservation it's like through whatever reservation system i think the restaurant has so it ended up being opentable and then when you go in there's a little like you know little tap to tech tap to check-in oh cool that says you're there and then you know the the the restaurant part partners with blackbird so they know so you just tell the waitress we're paying with blackbird and then when it's time to leave you just pay on your phone and leave
that's awesome and you were able to pay with crypto
like you're paying with usdc no it's oh
okay alright oh okay that's the one piece missing that's the one piece missing that would be perfect
and then but you can play i think you can pay with fly oh with fly yeah which is their rewards token i wonder if you can convert can you buy can you can you buy fly i don't know or is it only i
think so i thought you could buy it
i think so maybe you can yeah i think you can pay with fly then
i think you can pay with fly i'm trying to remember because i only have used it at far con and i was having trouble with it just i think it was me and my connection or whatever but i think yeah i think you could play with with fly yeah so that
it's really cool yeah they it's it's really cool that there's just not so many places near me i'm not in the city all the time
right right yeah if you're in new york in the new york area i'd like that it's you've got a lot of options there i think but otherwise yeah they're still they're still working on it we'll get there we'll get there probably la too i would guess but i'm not positive i'm not sure where they've expanded but yeah definitely check that out that's very cool justin looks so happy while you were doing that i was playing poker and this was a lot of fun we had aptos poker last night we've been doing a four game series this was game two our friend jolie was the winner and thumb was the runner-up so they'll both be on the championship table technically jc our friend sparks was the winner of the game but she is not allowed to actually win so she only wins bragging rights because she does work for aptos now so it was a lot of fun i've had a really good time getting to know some of the aptos team as well but this is always so fun i'm always really stressed about it and i can't quite understand why i have extra stress for poker games there's something about it but it also like more
so more so than doing trivia yeah or
or this oh trivia i have no stress none when we go to go live because we have producers i just put the talent i just show up
it's poker there's like it's like too many other variables of people that you don't know yeah yeah
i think it's too many variables and it gets me a little stressed but it's always really fun and we had over 750 people watching at one point
yeah
like live simultaneously so it was really really fun you can go check it out you can watch the game put it on the background listen to it whatever and you learn a little bit about aptos while you watch a fun poker game and the funniest thing in this clip i'm not gonna play it but you can go look at it on my profile kia ended up out in the first hand taken out by undefined in the first hand and then he just disappeared like most of the time when people end up out of the game they're in the losers lounge we'll talk to them we were going around introducing we didn't even get to him yet he was out on
he left it
was cool
yeah did did he did he know there was a lounge
i don't even know i don't think we even had a
chance to
tell him i think he did know i think he did know because he's played on that platform before but it was funny it was funny he's he it was like the very firsthand very firsthand and he was out it was like wait what just happened it was almost like we didn't even know what was going on because i was busy he was like starting up the stream so it was really funny but we have another game on tuesday and then our final game next thursday so lots of fun come watch come watch live it's more fun when you watch live and you can cheer on your favorite players we had people in the chat it was a lot of fun and they were both they were rooting for thumb they were rooting for thumb moving on to some farcaster news this from vee collectible earnings up to 31,000 now that's crazy but that's great great to see and great to see people still bidding i've seen some interesting ideas around this too about different ways that people are using the auctions and this was really cool to see we had whoops i'll come back to that this from jan furla bid on this collectible to get a custom trippy pfp for a while he was making these back when you could actually have a gif as your pfp and thus it became the whole to do about animated gifs on farcaster because they mess things up especially on android i guess is the problem so that's why we no longer have them but actually if somebody has a trippie pfp if you click on it and the image pops up it will still be let me see if this one is there you go it will still be that trippy image the animated image but it just doesn't show up in the feed so anyway i thought this was a cool use of the auction you can come bid on this and and get your own custom pfp and if you need an example of what the custom pfp looks like here you go and this was funny new trippy pfp is stamped on the blockchain dwr eth my arch enemy static and monochromatic every animated pfp's nightmare so he had i think he had made this for him a long time ago and then he'd actually put it created it as an nft so that was the the difference but funny very funny and i love that it looks great
we oh whoops there was one more this is another attempt or approach to the collectibles this was from sloppy pencil i'll be drawing with my good friend holikid live on stream as part of betterment neon chain summer sessions we did this awesome piece last time so tune in to what we see what we cook next bid on this cast and be the winner of the next collab piece freshly minted for the winner of the bid so that's pretty cool not sure who won the new one but congratulations if it's you kind of love that that's very cool all right moving on we had dwr doing another ama haven't done one of these in a while will be a bit slow to respond so i haven't read through this did anything jump out to you from these questions
nothing nothing in particular except i think dan already booked his flight to rome he's the only one that no i'm just kidding he said he would consider going what didn't consider going what
it's yeah nothing in particular but i scrolled through and read the answers and like people ask good questions and he he does i think what stands out is his ability to answer a question with so few words and make the answer feel complete okay that's valid so yeah like so they're really short answers and yet the the questions are are fully answered so we're yeah
we're there's a good example the question from dish what has been the most rewarding part of building farcaster and the answer was all the new relationships and it's like that says a lot in four words so yeah i get what you're saying for sure so very cool yeah he hasn't done one in a while so go take a look i haven't read through all of them but i did see this thing at top what are the recent learnings from the hiring process and nothing jumps out we increased the team the team by 50% in less than three months so not everything will work out and that's fine so that's a interesting approach like i think that i'm gonna guess i shouldn't say i think that i'm gonna guess that and no actually he's talked a little bit about this he learned a lot from from coinbase from working there and their hiring process and what was i saw an interview with him recently that he talked a little bit more oh i know what it was it was with coach hull that one i will help coach what's his name coach cole coach cole i almost said i was trying i wouldn't know why i was going to hyoli i don't know why so coach cole and he did talk about that pro you know what i'm saying i don't know why i went there you he did talk about what learning like about hiring and how important that is and getting it right so taking the time doing those trial runs all that stuff i think that is super important so i think that's really interesting and then there are a couple other ones that i just scanned through real quick for i like this most critical learning curve to climb as a seed stage tech ceo for pre product market fit ceo role doesn't matter stay focused on product market fit don't let other people tell you you have it always be truth seeking that's another like very quick answer that says a lot right so it's a lot all right so go take a look through there especially if you're a founder and working on any or working on anything on farcaster i think it's going to be very useful this from linda huge thanks to diodad horsefax and daniel and team for making a lot of improvements to dev tooling recently always a work in progress to make even better feel free to send me feedback and that was a response to derek from native saying i'd just like to shout out and show some love to the farcaster team not sure who's responsible for the developers tooling it's come really far in a short amount of time well done so very cool nice to see those efforts being appreciated not always a sexy thing but then most necessary thing yeah
i like the way you shout out daniel everybody gets there
i just can't i can't with his handle i can't i i know i'm gonna mess it up so he gets the first name
purospie three we love you
we love you we can't say your name we just can't so i'm always gonna say your first name you're one of the few piece one of the few people who i know his first name
and it's an automatic like student name
i don't even hesitate anymore i go right to it so funny okay this from gt we are experimenting with an updated way of casting on farcaster app it will allow you to browse the feed as usual while media uploads occur so that's cool if you are someone who has been casting heavy media and want to try it out reply in this thread warning you must be comfortable with unexpected failures during this testing period i like the warning i do like the warning i think that's like the warning for farcaster in general you must feel comfortable with unexpected failures during this testing period
should i go should i go bid on that cast i want that
that's a good cast i think that warning is fantastic and i actually i think that's really good for life lessons as well like they're
gonna just life advice with unexpected failures
during
and i guess consider the testing period life
life yeah just some life advice there you go i you know usually say i usually jump right on these types of things and i was like i can't i'm not in the mood for unexpected failures
you know what i love people already bid on this cass
like oh
i'm sure the oh
i'm sure
particular particularly collectible mhmm collectible ish but i hope i i i bid on it because i just like the you must be comfortable
you must be comfortable with unexpected failures during this testing period i'd like it too
yes
are you still bidding on a lot of casts i i actually am like and it's very like and it's very haphazard it's very like i just see it and i bid that's it mhmm
i find myself on web wanting to bid like when i yes when it's not available and then on mobile not as much but
i would totally have bid on this one as well if it was right here but mhmm i don't have that option so yeah i agree i would definitely be bidding more but i'm still bidding bidding quite a bit this from melissa burr get better together for 40,000,000 better rules you have until monday august 4 to submit a vertical video can hide your face enjoying enjoy a boost on the leaderboard also quote cast this cast with get better together cross post on x for bonus points be sure to tag betterment please include what do you want to get better at what do you want to get why do you want to get better how are you going to get better and who can possibly help you get better so like thinking about self improvement here the top 15 on the karma leaderboard on august 4 will be able to nominate a finalist and toady hawk net nose burr and celebrity guest judge me will choose i don't know why i'm a celebrity but okay will choose four winners from the nominations each winner will win 10,000,000 better token and burr toad and toady will also be awarding tip in to all entries some say toady may be unhinged with noyce also and he is winners will be announced on gm farcaster live on wednesday august 6 but you won't be here let's get better together but i think this is like a really cool idea playing off of the better pun which i mean toadie hawk has never met a pun he doesn't like so by this way this kind of looks like you
a little bit gave me a
little bit of the adrian vibe
how i mean i don't disagree but how is it like that something like it's like three lines of fluorescent it just
looks it just reminds me of you for some reason you know what it reminds me of the of your the p f yes exactly it reminds me of that
the broadcaster
the broadcaster oj it reminds me of you so the o g nft so that's funny but yeah so that's gonna be fun looking forward to that so if you are interested jump in it's gonna be fun we already did that we did this one horsebacks watching the social economy grow is one of the most satisfying things about building farcaster right now company's collectible bid just went straight to offline's crowdfund there are faces or at least identities to most interactions stable exchange and cozy networks will probably always be more boring than letting the animal spirits rip but it feels good so i kind of i really liked this and this was also he was quote casting an earlier one of his own casts that says there's an immediacy and velocity to exchange in the social economy that is new and different from other crypto interactions tips come in tips go back out i earned a pay per view reward last week and spent it on other people's content this kind of exchange is one to one personal and often repeated so i think you know that is something that's special that people are not as familiar with i'm looking for my social network hat and i don't think i have it handy oh there it is social economy social like social economy hat this is what i was looking for put a double hat on for a second
double hat today for a second
yeah so it i think that there's really something to that that a lot of people may not realize but i think they will i think as more people are coming on to the base app they'll see that and so i think there's you know i think we'll see more of that sort of understanding of what
that economy looks like so again as people are buying content either on tba as a coin or on here as a collectible or earning tips and then kind of like this say it let's say it flywheel
it's a flywheel it's just a flywheel it's just a flywheel
flywheels happening we're just increasing
we're just increasing the velocity of of money spent
that's all that's all that's all that's going on
so i i was noticing they i hadn't pulled offline's
cast so i'm just gonna pull this up really quick too that horsebacks was referring to she did a she i think it's a she did a crowd fund to help get her offline labs off the ground so this was to say thank you to my investors i collaborated with the dude to airdrop something special to you 76 people out here pitching into my dreams it feels surreal not gonna lie farcaster has become the playground where i've chosen to spread my wings i knew this journey would be wouldn't be easy but the support and love i've received so far fuels me to keep going i hope you enjoy this piece anyone who donates from now until the end will also receive this collab so you can go donate to offline labs if you want to and i think the plan is she is working on a online store that with her art so very cool i was looking for it there you go online store that sells teas i design so there you go so very cool and i love that yeah that things just kind of circle back in speaking of another thing i'm not going to play this video but you can see phil walking through the gallery for node foundation that they are redesigning so they were doing getting ready for some demo and what i loved about this was that he was kind of walk like taking us along for the journey and talking about what they're doing for node foundation and this is going to be focused on crypto art and crypto culture so very exciting digital art i should say more more so than just crypto art so very exciting to see this coming down and node foundation is who bought the cryptopunks so they also now own cryptopunks
the ip itself and bought that from yuga labs so that is very cool so i'm sure you'll see quite the collection of cryptopunks in there as well but i'm really excited to see what phil comes down with so yeah this is gonna be fun yes fun and exciting so go along for the ride with phil and then lastly before i jump into i gotta switch over to my other set
of
links a bunch of other things but this from i'm kind of tempted to try out a farcaster daily show talking to top builders in crypto and clips for rurality to see how it goes and if it drives new builders users to farcaster already stream multiple times per week for farcaster onboarding in many apps so why not so this was in response to they were talking about tpbn i think i've got the letters right and phil had said they cracked a viral format they the combination of a daily show with several guests per day means that each guest is is doing marketing for the show once you hit a critical mass people see their friends on the show they clamor to join themselves
so on that point i disagree i don't think that is why they're doing so well i think they're doing so well in a very short period of time because they had a really good connections period full stop they had really good connections and they were funded well
oh we're going there
i'm just no i'm just saying tpbn like the reason that they got off the ground so quickly
i know i was like this the question was like where do they come from and the answer was like they just had a good four like they're just good content
creators good content creators oh
they just had good they just had good guests
all you
need is good guests and i realized that's what we've been missing
so so previous guests you guys just suck and we need better i'm
really happy to announce who we're having on next week who we have
next week i'm kidding no idea
anyway it is now it's funny
it's i mean like they just they were already really really
super connected within we don't know how they're funded do you know how they're funded
a well a 16 z for one and then a whole bunch of other people yeah really oh yeah pretty sure yeah so i think i mean that's listed on there as one of their sponsors so i'm pretty sure that's who funded them i know that is actually i saw it somewhere i just can't remember right now so i don't wanna i can't pull the source at the moment but i know that's i saw that and they're also like if you look at their sponsors they're listed there so i think you know that it's a whole different thing it's like a celebrity starting a podcast when you start from millions it's way easier yeah so that's and that i'm just explaining first of all you can't just do that and suck at the content part and have it work like i'm not saying that not taking anything away from like what they're doing it is good content it's it's fun to watch they're good at what they do so but the reason that they've sort of went from came up looks like they came out of nowhere is because they didn't really come out of nowhere they were very well connected within the industry that they're covering so but it's i i'm excited to see linda try this i really am she's already been doing some streaming and she's good at it like i think it's gonna be really fun to to see what she does for sure so yeah because there was a there was a cast also she had casted about and this is before i hadn't seen her other cast about this casting about is anyone doing this is anyone doing and i said well we're kind of doing that and apparently thread guy has retooled and is doing something a little bit like the tpbn kind of thing we'll see if he can make that pivot because he's been more of a traditional streamer so it'll be interesting to see and then 11am which is seed club so i think they just rebranded their internet explorer so we've got a lot of things kind of popping and i think it's all
bull market vibes
yeah
that's my guess like why all of a sudden we have so much new approaches you know i think that's what it is so
yeah
yeah thoughts
well my thoughts on linda is yay and i love her approach of like i'm thinking about doing so just do it right like it's like yeah you just do it and so many people i think we've talked to in the past who have like thought about doing podcast or streaming and you try to plan things out it's so hard too so it's like it's so hard the easiest thing is like you know just start doing it and you see how it goes and and iterate so excited for her and she's kinda so comfortable and natural and i yeah she's got a great great twitter following it's so huge people so she's getting views and it's so good for forecaster and that's great for linda as far as she's got
the right and i i'm gonna she's got the right pedigree too when i say by pedigree it's like experience like she's got the coinbase experience she's got the vc experience she's got the founder experience so it's like the right sort of mix and a tremendous amount of connections so yes yeah
yeah and just like naturally curious and interesting and yep she's should we just talk about how much we love how much we love linda
we just love linda yeah so i think she's gonna crush it
how can you know how can you know how can
you know yeah
and then as far as all of the different content experience like yay more more of it more of it more of it yeah and i think
i don't
know like yeah
we'll see how it goes it's new new content's good and yep be be right back going to apply for a job
it's a c c it has a $400,000 podcast job opening yeah fair big is that for a yeah like is that they're are they looking for a show are they looking for a podcast yeah like
i wonder i'll have to go look just to see what it is curious but isn't so eric's isn't eric at
yes eric ma's name eric taurenberg of turpentine and our and our and ma's fame joined a 16 z and i think focusing on media and
so that makes sense that he would be he would be maybe yeah head heading the charge for that interesting interesting interesting alright i gotta re reshare my other
it's funny i feel like a few years ago you know you kinda start hearing about just like new media right podcasts take over news because it's like zero barrier to entry anyone can do it substack taking over newspapers like podcast taking over tv substack taking over like there's a whole trend of yeah kind of what new media is and i think it's like like like any cycle you got to the point where it's like there there were people who was like okay podcasts are done right
yeah too many there's too many podcasts nobody's watching
done we're moving on podcasts are old and quietly podcasts have not even gotten started
not no it's not even close to done but i think you're seeing this is what's interesting and this is where i feel like we were a little ahead of some folks mhmm is the livestream too like people live streaming more and having more better experiences with it too so i think you're seeing more of that in traditional like we were seeing it from gamers for a long time like with twitch and that kind of thing but i don't think you were seeing it more mainstream until fairly recently so i think that's
well that was like right people loved all in because it was like a tech focused podcast but and and unfiltered and you have people who are not just kind of media people covering from the outside they're people from the inside talking you know exactly and they loved it and then all of a sudden a weekly show became too late it was like why am i gonna listen to news that happened three days ago i want things live yeah so the format
i think if you're doing interviews in lifestyle the podcast works like a weekly or something like that if you're doing news i think it's very hard to it's it's hard for us to not do daily and we and we're covering this little tiny niche if you're doing something like a tech focus like a whole tech focus or something you got to be yeah daily i think is going to be the way for sure yeah yeah clearly not gregarious i started my first podcast in 2003 podcasting's clearly been an overnight success exactly and i did like yeah and good point here independent media is now running it in politics absolutely and you're seeing things like the bulwark taking off right now and pod save america and a whole bunch of things on the you know both sides of the aisle like you've got you know the charlie kirks and the glenn beck's and all that too so and tucker carlson like doing his own thing like you have these pretty big names who were able to like move over to independent media pretty quickly and find a lot of audience so there's definite there's definite market market for it i'll just put it that way all right a few more things oh piers morgan
let's move on i'm starting to get triggered
i know piers morgan too yep yep i know i know it's this from our friend oxfid people who don't believe in content coins and social trading should look at this base app seven x more active traders per user than the old kink coinbase wallet if you want to lose stay on the sidelines woof i mean she's coming right at you yeah
i
think that was for you adrienne i'm just kidding i'm just kidding
i need to have a talk with with us that's good
i bet this is really interesting but i think this speaks to exactly the thesis that i've been saying all along is that if you integrate it into an existing social feed it works if you try and do just a standalone i don't think it works long term i just don't i don't think you're going to have folks going to a separate zuora app as much as they are going to just coin things in their they see in their feed and also buy things they see in their feed so trending notifications that kind of stuff and we see that like those trending notifications both on for coins as well as collectibles and things like that on farcaster has been driving some traffic like we saw that you know jack butcher found out that he had launched a coin a creator coin because he got a notification that people were collecting it a far faster which is funny i saw something from betty who collected something that betterment did so betty from deadfellas had collected she didn't know that connection whatsoever but she saw it trending and the reason it was trending was because of betterment so very interesting flywheel happening right now with all these different pieces of the puzzle so we've got lego blocks that are that are very interesting right now yeah i don't think everyone fully like and by the way this is with beta like we're still in beta so where are we going it's gonna be interesting this from six this is funny explaining zora to my normie friends it's like instagram but every time you post you launch an erc 20 ethereum request for comment 20 token on base which is an ethereum layer two blockchain by coinbase the erc 20 token is paired against another erc 20 token in a uniswap version four liquidity pool that erc 20 token is your creator coin which is paired against another erc 20 token called the zuora token ethereum layer twos are the solution designed to enhance the scalability of the ethereum network they operate on top of the ethereum blockchain layer one inheriting its security while striving to provide faster and less costly transactions what's the problem all your normie friends will get that i don't was that were they not were they not understanding
i like jan's comment here i thought i knew what zora was before reading
i don't suggest this explanation to your normie friends
jacob responded too like something was like like nailed it i was like what did he say no i didn't something i was like oh incredible yeah
okay banger how many of you are onboarded with this that would be zero
guess what i just bid on this by the
way oh it's so good it's so good
this is fun we should do a new show i think where it's just like live like we just pull up casts and live bid on content and
just live it we can if we could live bid if we could bid on web
web is coming
i would already be doing this yeah
it's right it's it's coming yeah
or if we could the other thing is that we can't do right now just so everyone understands that tba in beta is not available on the web either
yeah so is it ever going to be do we i don't
know that's a good question we didn't ask jesse that and we really should i would assume so because coinbase wallet was available on web i think yeah i think so yeah pretty sure
i never used it on web
sure i think i only used it on mobile but i'm pretty sure it was available on web so i think that's gonna be the because that we could be collecting coins and things like that but we we can't do that on this on the stream so
yeah also our lawyer told us not to
our lawyer probably shouldn't do that
we don't we're not on the stream
it's crime season it's fine
i said that to my mother at one point i forget what we were talking about and i'm like it's fine it's a crime season and she's like what and i'm like oh never mind
it's all good alright moving on
crime it's not a crime if everything's going to zero
if everything's going to zero it's not a crime right there are this from zero x designer this is not a criticism but just clocking a feeling i've been avoiding posting on the base app because i don't want to make a coin i've tried rationalizing over and over why i don't like coins and i don't think i've gotten to the bottom of the real why but i don't like coins and i want to know why so i just said you know you can turn that off
can you is it at this like your profile setting not in the no
you're just at the every time you cast like you can turn it off if you really wanted to but also if you're already on farcaster you'll probably just use farcaster rather than the base app if you know if you don't want that feature but also there's other things in the base app that are different from farcaster so i would recommend and in particular group chats that you can do some cool things so yeah but i think this is not an unusual feeling i have mixed feelings as well which i've talked about and yeah so i get that i turn that off sometimes when i'm over there yeah it's just a just a me thing
i'm happy when people clock their feelings i don't like complaining and criticism don't need negativity but people are unable to have different feelings especially as new things come out one of the things i feel like i'm picking up on is this one that i don't care what anyone says the the tokens and the market for everything is infinitely more complex concept yep than one on one nft in terms of like what it is to buy a content so one you have like just the complexity of something for which adds to just kinda that cognitive overload people don't really wanna have to like do you really wanna have to think about what that means like if you're trying to understand something new it's like that can be annoying and then there's this perception of just coining everything being through like jammed down your throat of like being forced to and it's you know and it's all anyone's talking about and you don't have a choice so my feeling is a lot of the unease and maybe maybe xerox designer maybe other i don't know if this is what he's feeling but i feel like other people is just like don't force anything on me right it's like that's where the rejection comes from and especially in the crypto world right where people try to be like more rebellious than like or have to you know i don't want anyone to tell me what to do you know f you i won't do what you tell me like just just like a punk vibe
totally
that being said my feeling on this is like i just gave up and it was like whatever like you wanna coin everything let's get to joining everything don't i don't think about it i don't trade it
it took a little while it took a while
for you to get there yeah totally totally but i just finally gave up and you're like yeah i don't care but i don't think about it i don't try to trade anything i don't try to make money off of anything i just ignore it and that's kinda where i'm at now which is like sure you wanna coin things let's just you know see but i i think he's i think a lot of people feel similar to him
i do too i think there's a lot of folks who have a similar feeling i think the other thing is that xerox designer used to mint a lot he used to mint in every day used to mint something every day on zora so there was a whole collection that he had i think it was on zora might have been on manifold i'm pretty sure it was on zora so it says the airdrop denier so i i can understand that also that's a shift because you're if you're an artist or designer or content creator you want people to collect your art you don't necessarily want them to just be trading a coin that represents your art you know what i mean so there's a little different feel to it as well i think if you're i think and i think that's really more the artist than it is like a typical content creator like i i don't consider us
the influencer
yeah i
think there's no i consider us
these things are different you know what i mean so if you're just an influencer you create content or just a person who creates content and you have something go viral
like
that's cool that's fine whatever but if you're an artist and you're it's just different so i can understand what being is lower yeah
totally agree i also identify as a person who creates content yeah i i i you're a 100% right and i also oh you added i forget you said something really smart that i wanted to underscore
i don't remember what it was that was that was
then i got distracted by the way i was seeing all of our friends
words and it makes me so happy guys
i know it's so nice we like seeing you guys chat with each other
you guys know people make friends in our chat and we
know true yeah and oh and we and we talked about this again during poker with jc and poe on meeting through gm farcaster through a poker game and then meeting at our event
so yes and now they're working together so and now they're working together people getting job opportunities from people they're meeting in the network we have not yet created a love connection not yet but we're hopeful it is going to happen
so this has been a goal of adrian's a a little secret side goal
of adrian's goal it was your goal that i just took it wasn't even something i wanted to do and then i decided to run with it
be a dating game yeah everything
at some point like we are going to be i'm gonna say i believe in manifesting and also like once you put something out in the world things happen so we are going to be invited to a wedding
oh that's what it was
in the future no not a farcaster wedding look sam and carlos we oh sam and carlos the og mateo and sam the og farcaster couple
yep
we want we want invites okay
you wanna invite
getting ahead of my we they're not engaged yeah i don't think
yeah no but they're not
but they should be but and they should invite us to the wedding okay that's not what i was
gonna say are we live yes we're live
i don't wanna say that okay no what i wanna say is there's going to be a time when we're invited to the wedding
minutes in yes adrian we're live
we're gonna be invited to a wedding and the couple is going to do their toast and they're going to talk about how they met their gm forecaster chat
that's you're so funny
or because you and i set them up i just need this to happen
it's a little bit y combinator a little bit tinder
yeah meet your co founder meet your spouse i think
i do i think i think adrian would probably be better at matchmaking i'll be honest but maybe maybe
and yes we love all the gm broadcaster chatters as well we really do we really do alright we've got a few more things before we wrap not much left but base and coinbase had i've had a bit of a run the past couple of days this from base the coinbase protocol security team is now offering free security reviews to a cohort of apps and protocols on basechain in beta selected teams will receive a scoped review security related recommendations and other assistance to improve spots are limited read more in our blog so if you're building a mini app or app on base and you want some assistance with the security go check this out because this seems like a really cool thing
this is super cool by the way and this is like in light of the big news of we could the t app and i was thinking about like that
we talked about the other day too yeah
whose responsibility is security is it the app builder to secure or is it the end user who's going to like should you be responsible and i was thinking back of like
yes to crypto okay
i know i just i just put a let's see how quick he's catching up and then i just said well let's see how how long it takes for him to catch up
it's the time traveling thing it's so funny yeah but but i go back to like in the startup world startups can move fast and public companies and old companies move slow but public companies often have to do some sort of compliance and regulation that proves yep you know this is the whole stocks compliance and proves they have certain policies and procedures that ensure certain securities so i just had more appreciation for some of the slower companies out there
yeah
that you but but you kind of even though you can't really the i guess also there's been so many data hacks of public companies that have been regulated as well so there's so little trust in in institutions and companies these days anyway so i don't have an answer but i like this one like as a user when you look at like smart contracts like audited contracts don't guarantee no that they're not gonna have vulnerabilities but you still want to work with companies that have audited their contracts absolutely better than not so i wonder when it comes to mini apps like there's no more sorry
i just had a i just had a brian thought
okay i don't know but when it comes to approval like wouldn't it be nice to know like that that mini apps have had gone through some level of i mean this is also the app store right app store you can it's hard to get your app on the app store because app does review apple doesn't review then you can trust it more all of which to say guess what you're in a new thing expect things not to work and but also think twice before you send all your personal data to a mini app
yeah that too and i think that you know that yeah coming on the heels of the qr hack there as well like that that is another reason i'm sure that this this came out this week so yeah so if you have a mini app or app go take advantage of that save yourself some hassle let them point out any security issues okay a couple more things this from jesse a new day one for american financial markets nice pick with him and hester purse from the sec and she's the head of the crypto task force they had a big report that came out this week as well hester please come on i want you to i wanna talk to you we really should make a serious effort to make that happen sometime but this is fun to see and there's a lot of people in the new york area for the figma like there's been a lot of stuff happening this week this from brian armstrong coinbase is becoming the everything exchange all assets will inevitably move on chain so we want to have everything you want to trade in one place incoming dex integration access millions of assets and expansion of our derivatives offerings new tokenized equities and more so this is pretty big and i think you know to your point when we were just talking about people move slow and people move fast and that public companies tend to move slower when i think about coinbase they're to me the slower moving in the space of crypto in a good way in that trying to you know be compliant do the right thing all those kinds of things they've moved a little slower than some other companies but a lot of those other companies have moved fast and already burned out so it's good to see them keep going and very cool to see this this from dan coinbase automatically listing all on chain on chain assets will be the end of the listing pop kinesian beauty contest will also mean the easy access to everything will make it harder to find your thing curation and discovery both on coinbase and in crypto social will become even more important also shout out to balaji for correctly identifying that coinbase model was yahoo directed directory and needed to shift to google index all the way back in 2018 very interesting
then jacob's comment below balaji's one year stint at coinbase needs studied i can't believe he was only there for one year
right which
also was a singer's comment it seems like he had a very big impact because he's also backed the usdc play too so pretty big but i think that was really it's really interesting so right now what he's referring to is right now when you get a listing on coinbase it tends to make the token pop it's like a big thing that people have strived for with their meme coins or their project coins and when that happens you always see like a little little bump and you can see that from banker this week if you're if you didn't notice that part so if everything gets listed on the decks like what brian's talking about over here then you're not going to see that same like pop when the listings happen but it's also going to become a little bit more democratic if you will and more market focused as to what does pop so it's going to be focused more on those social cues i think are going to be even more important especially where you have the base app able to to pull out those strings as well so yeah yeah any other thoughts on that i like the i like the thought of coinbase model was yahoo and needed to shift to google is really interesting it's interesting and i've
heard that but i've heard it before and it's seems obvious yeah but right
yeah yeah and the curation is gonna be interesting as well and i think that's where we were talking with dish the other day and he did like the champagne clankers like he had this like or in you know the index that callow is doing and i think those type of things will become more useful when you don't have the sort of anointing by coinbase so to speak so it's gonna be more market focused
yeah it's just that more and more people decide yeah
so different kingmakers coming in
like jamfarkaster
yes we're so good at picking tokens of course look at our wallets jk anyway this from brian armstrong we're hosting a q and a following our q two financial results this week live on twitter on august 1 at 10am pacific maybe someday live on base like literally we could do this today brian like we could have you could have been streaming this in the gm farcaster app we could have we could have helped you out ask your questions below we'll answer the best ones so this is going to be interesting so today they are doing their earnings
they're doing their earnings earnings reporting and you will see that live the other thing they've they've done for a while now is put the earnings on chain so i'm assuming they'll do the same and my guess is it will be a coin but we'll see
of course yeah
mostly
can you just type in and tell brian he can stream on base today well we got it
wanna stream on base today i should
and then this was very cool overseen in the coinbase earnings 700 k waitlist for baseapp so within the report basechain remains the number one l two 700,000 on the waitlist for the base app drove median fees down to point zero zero zero five and reduced block times to two hundred milliseconds so pretty amazing and usdc payments on base chain are now live on shopify payments which i still haven't found but i gotta figure that out yeah
oh yeah gregarious you are not alone you're with 700,000 other people
if that makes you feel any better
you don't have tba yet yeah
you're really not it's most of it is the same content in terms of what you see on farcaster you also see on the base app the things you're missing is the coining in your feed where you can just click on a little market cap indicator and and purchase the coin and then the chats are different so that's the other thing too is you can do some things with agents in the chats that you can't do on farcaster
so that's yeah that's that i was looking to see if i missed anything in the chat here yeah this chat and super chat is pretty good yeah alright one last thing that i just thought was funny one
this from dan every day on twitter i witnessed the dumbest take imaginable only to wake up the next day and realize yesterday was just a warm up and chaskin's response reading your old tweets
ouch unnecessary unnecessary
but funny but and dan's reply okay banger so everyone kinda likes that one inverse inverse bra yeah so that was funny
and that's it i think that's everything and did i miss anything adrian anything that is happening that i may have missed i feel i'm still feeling a little lost without my trending feed i gotta be honest i feel like i'm missing things i've gotta figure that out
i wanna go back and just look at trending like what
i just wanna double check and make sure i'm not missing things and it's
why does v hate us
i don't know like what what did
we what did we do to you what did we do to you
i don't you know i think it was that so many people complained about it they were just like okay fine we're done
yeah
sorry professor that was it
okay here's what you missed tonight forecaster friday we are it is it is first friday which means get together with forecaster people in your area it's not too late to plan and there will be a new york city meetup if and i will be hanging out with some forecaster friends tonight
amazing and i don't know if the forecaster fridays channel is still kicking i don't know if people are still posting in there for that but let me look real quick
base app is gonna implement channels have we heard anything about from the base app about channel implementation
i haven't and i think it's they well it's not at the protocol level so i'm not sure that they can unless it's at the protocol level and it's not
maybe not create but if people are casting tagging channels they could create channel views or
yeah that's true it's
in the cast
that's true this is yeah there's some if you go into the farcaster friday channel there's not much in there right now so maybe look in your local channel for the for that information so there is one in new york that's the only one i've heard of so far linx often does one in toronto i don't know if he's doing one this month there might be fewer because like for august because of summer and also fwb happening so there might be a few places that the usual folks who organize may not be available so yeah but go find your local forecaster friday event we're not doing a url one since we just did poker last night but oftentimes we do a poker game for our virtual version but not this week alright anything else adrienne that i may have forgotten
do you see any other things out there in the world
no alright
just take
this as a reminder to everyone to please add our mini app if you haven't
and wherever you're watching if you subscribe to us it helps so we appreciate it and i saw a nice little bump in people minting our episodes because we made that easy to do so just another thank you to everyone who's ever minted and collected we appreciate it and
this was a fun show because on the show i bid on two casts live because i have add and when you say it i have to go do it and i just bought some of jesse's post with hester pierce his picture
oh yeah
so i went to the base app and just picked some of that up because that was the first time i kind of traded on a post like i've been coining mine cool and and then i casted that so
i love it
it's fun
alright there is one more thing that i saw in my feed that i wanted to point out
that i
thought was really funny yesterday afrotik said is this a safe space i have never watched or played pokemon i don't know they all just look like labooboos to me and my immediate reaction was peachy's gonna have something to say and then this was her this morning logging in this morning after saying pokemons look like labo boos my notifications
people had flowing up
people had feelings people had feelings about that do you know they like their pokemon
did you get into pokemon no too long did you get into laboo do you know who laboo boo is
no i absolutely do and also no there's no way i think they're ugly i'm looking for like if i was gonna put something on a purse which i don't even really carry a purse it would be a what'd you think bud i had to go grab it off of my thing because they they make them very similarly that you can like hook things on to things so yeah but no not my thing not my thing but pokemon go was kind of fun for a minute i did that a couple times but cards and stuff wasn't my thing i'm too old for that
and this is all because linda released vibe coded a pokemon app
exactly yeah it was all in relation to that yeah
there
was a little vibe coded pokemon app and then yeah effortix made this comment and then people were not happy alright i think that's it so we'll be back monday and then you are out for the rest of the week i will have a guest host on wednesday and then we're gonna take friday off and i haven't figured out what to do monday i had a thought this might be dangerous i don't know if i should say it live on the air
i think i
had a thought that i do need a guest host for the following monday we could auction it off it's very risky it's very very risky auctioning off the cohost
i don't think we should do that
we probably shouldn't but i had a thought i had a thought about it and then have it like you know be benefit something else like purple but i did think about that i'm like that could be interesting but we'll we'll talk more about that and then we'll also have poker next week as well so lots of stuff happening but he'll be taking a little vacay which will be nice alright everyone
yeah
this has been fun
i'm taking a vacay before my vacay the next
the next month she's not gonna be around much
the next two the next two months are gonna be interesting and but then i'm telling you q four is gonna be
q four locked in locking in for q four
no vacation q four
no vacation q four
