oh that's wild

okay that's crazy earthquakes i think are the scariest of natural phenomenons personally that and tsunamis because you don't know they're coming until they're like on top of you so i don't i don't like those i prefer hurricanes i can see them coming for a week and get out of the way and prepare so anyway that's crazy we are gonna get going as you all file in we are gonna get some notifications out if you are watching over on twitter retweet if you are x or x tweet i don't know what we call those re re exit at re exit okay or recast and let people know you're watching and we will be back on the other side of this sixty seven

keep you plugged in so grab your coffee and let's dive in with your host manish proff

gm farcaster it is tuesday march 10 and you are here with now to prof and adrian for twenty nine minutes of farcaster news to start your day but we know it's gonna go a little bit longer than that because we don't have an we do not have an interview today because usually then i say and a chat with but we don't have an interview today so it'll just be us but we have lots of things to catch up on we've been very busy the past few days you can tell my voice is a little off i think i've i don't know if i caught something or something's going on but it's been i've been traveling so

i feel okay has been off but my voice is definitely off today we got the little husky thing or it might have been the karaoke i was doing in new orleans that it could possibly have been that there was karaoke and you were off with your daughter and i had to shout this out because this is not a college snack food reporting from the front

yes

okay

these kids are just built different like there was no high end anything going on after going out and coming back to the dorms

but

to see the sardines on the sardines channel sardines is back so if you are into canned fish sardines channel on farcaster is the place to be a little bit from my trip this is funny because depressive hacks have posted about being a light packer and how this is one of the best travel hacks which i agree and i cannot possibly be one but like i've i've always impressed with people who can travel lightly and also impressed with like linda used to travel with just a backpack and that just always blew my mind so i also wanna offer the travel hack of don't ever connect through chicago this is strictly a shout out and a dig at my friend duncan who decided that to get to louisiana from philadelphia going through chicago was a good idea and ended up with a fourteen hour travel day due to delays and cancellations because of course of course that happened so and his luggage didn't arrive until the next day you're muted again adrienne you're muted

it's like there was no reason there was no reason for this also my friend jen couldn't come so once upon a time my friend peter didn't join us in our very first one so we made a flat pete so for this one we made a flat jen and we did get flat jen a cafe dumond hat so just want to shout that out on the pod today i did have some really interesting conversations as well with them around our stuff just to kind of gauge like what their knowledge was and this was one of the questions that came to me was who is the adam smith of crypto and i was like i i don't fully know the answer to that question my you know i assumed that a lot of people were gonna say satoshi and they did but there was also like other takes on this so this this had some good interesting answers on it but i also think i think the better question was who are the leading economists in crypto and i still don't know that i have a full answer on that so if you have anything to add go add to this but kenny said himself and rabinowitz said vitalik but this had a lot of interesting answers as well in terms of some folks shout out shouted out like chris dixon eric voorhees fred friedrich hayek which i didn't even know who that was so i gotta dive in a little bit more nick sosbo and rand amaro got a shout out in this particular

awfully funny that was the funniest thing

so i thought that was that was an interesting question and then the other thing i was gauging from them is their knowledge of prediction markets and because i said something about i don't even i said i said something i think it was while my friend was still you know on route from chicago i'm like oh we should spin up a poly market on this and try to guess when he's gonna arrive which again i fully believe that micro markets should be a thing and would have a lot of play so who's building this is what i'd love

the same though i like that it needs like like i want more of like a polymarket with like multiple options because it could have been like a

yeah yeah

yes yes i am i said micro i said micro but it was yeah but then i was asking like do you guys even know what polymarket is none of them knew like out of the four none of them knew what polymarket was two of them knew had heard of cal kalshi none of them had used it and then i asked about something else like that what the heck was it oh we were talking about ai and i said you know are you aware of you know anthropic and claude and there's one person who is using that in their work but otherwise not too much knowledge of beyond chat g p t so it's wild interesting i know it's like i'm in this whole little bubble and i'm quite happy about that

so far behind and yet so far ahead all at the same time so if you are already doing these things just know most of the world has no idea what you're talking about and that's okay moving on this from our friend dish of clanker i will be afk please redirect all inquiries to rish while i'm out from this afternoon which was last week i think it was friday to march 20 i will be going on a side quest uncharted territory a trek that's been on my bucket list can't wait to hear about this when he gets back slack webhook for mentions of me will be relayed to the team thank you for your attention to this matter so if you have any clanker issues that come up recommend that you tag the neymar team or tag rish on farcaster that's gonna be your quickest response i think or you can probably also tag clanker world on twitter and that all those are being monitored or the farcaster as well farcaster on twitter or dana are on twitter there's lots of places but tag the other team don't tag dish and expect an answer quickly he'll be somewhere i don't know where top of mount everest see here's another opportunity for a micro market

you know what i mean where is dish we could have multiple i mean there's something there there's something there i'm telling you people all right moving on this from montaluna i'm assuming these posts are yet another signer hack so there was a in basement 5 ks you were hacked again this was the schedule ly mini app hack that happened a while back there the signers got compromised so if you didn't yet revoke your signer please go do that immediately like right now do not you can you can feel free to pause this stream and go do this right now if you have especially if you have given permission to shedley or scheduleley or whatever the name that name of that one was and then also check your other ones and just make sure that they're things that you're actively using if you're not i would say revoke access to the signer so if you don't know what that is you can give access to mini apps and clients to cast for you and in some instances that might be something you want to do especially if you're using something like fireflies another one or uno or sofa

don't know if you need it for sofa but other ones like that so just make sure that if you're giving any kind of access that it's something you're usually actively and that you're not opening yourself up to any exploits and this is from birr i don't know if this is from shedley or not but if you didn't revoke permissions before you definitely should now settings advanced manage connected apps so choose your signers wisely and thank you for all who were sending up the flags while this was happening this is also say angel had a note on this transactions in the feed is a double edged sword very convenient but also means you can get drained if a signer is compromised all it takes is a send my entire balance to also this is once again from sheddley revoke that signer asap so there was a few people who had this issue and then this note from rish

he did say because somebody said can we nerf these accounts and the accounts are already nerfed from the app unless you see them somewhere question mark the underlying infrastructure is decentralized we can't take away their signers users have to revoke them okay so that then the accounts have been nerfed since the first issue happened but this is important to make sure that you on your end are doing what you need to do

anything else on that adrienne that you saw that maybe i missed no but just be careful out there yeah yeah mhmm i

yeah that is unfortunate i

that's why i would say just just keep the ones you're actively using if you're not actively using them or you didn't like have a lot of content from that i would just get rid of it or you can always go back and if it was anything important recast it so then you have i don't know or something nothing i don't know

not a single one just saying this from compulsory if you have ever given me an fc signer this is your advance notice to revoke it before i start doing things of questionable ethicality with them i'm like

first of all i know

so i wasn't concerned but

i don't know i he's a big experimenter so i don't know if it was something he's gonna experiment with and we'll show his roast mini app in just a bit but just be aware yeah that even the devs are giving you advance notice now

so make sure you go and check your signers moving on far con vastly approaching we got a couple we're a couple months out now about two months out so this is from limone builders in the room hit different when you're actually there buy far con room tickets directly from the mini app everyone directly covers venue food and stuff that makes this real grabbing yours now helps us plan something great see you in rome

so there was another little little thread and little copypasta going around see you in rome so look for that as well and we're very excited we'll be there and we still haven't done a lot of outreach on our opportunity for people to sponsor the media for far con for far con rome so if you are interested in this and you're watching right now reach out to either adrienne or i and we'll give you more information about what that entails yeah so more to come this from our friend drew kaufman after three incredible years at base i'm joining sixteen z crypto to shape their social strategy crypto is the most interesting technology being built today but most of the world still just doesn't get it telling that story well requires long term thinking from long term believers and a sixteen z is the place to do it couldn't be more ready for this one so that is exciting excited for drew and i did see you cast to say hey can you be more social with us again over here you know

just a thought that's also you know wasn't which had a pretty sizable investment from a 16 c so there's crossover there so yeah i'm excited to see what drew does next and also we should get him on here i want him like at noun coffee and like come on and do a little interview so we can get like a little tour

that would be that would be great that would be very cool i my name is underneath one of the counters and i just love that because i was one of the yes votes on the on the prop that helped fund that so but congratulations drew excited to see what you do with the social for basics teasing we're seeing a lot of movement from base

there's a lot of adjustments going on we haven't heard too much but

personnel movement happening yes we saw nheri go to especially some key players who've been there since day one real day one actual day one not just another day one not just still day one but actual day one

so that's it's just important to note that you know it's kind of we we would love to have jesse come back on soon to kind of maybe talk about that when he's ready and when they're ready just to to have a better idea of what's what's happening there but aniri went over to eleven labs we now see drew going to a16z so lots of movement happening just getting the rest of my links open make sure we're ready for this next segment oh my god hi

i know it doesn't work in streamyard unfortunately but hi cameron great to see you great to see you in the chat okay moving on we're gonna talk about some builders including you word of day recap week one march 3 to march 9 a 108 players 282 challenges 68% pass rate so top players were jc who who sweeped into the top spot because burt wurst went

a trip burt wurst went traveling and got and

everyday streak and it's gone and then kazani in there at number two brad q pulling into that third place spot words last week were prolific capricious capricious relegate ubiquity equanimity fortuitous and ameliorate i just got in under the wire i think it was ameliorate because of the time change

i thought i had missed it

seven before and i went i think i missed it and i went in and i still had nine minutes and i'm like just made it kept my streak alive i was very excited the

incredible high effort attempts

and mix you're you also added so there's now updates going to twitter to say what the is it saying it's saying the word for the day but there's no you can't play over there you still have to play over on broadcaster

word a day in every variation was taken

yeah maybe someday sorry nikita

but maybe someday yeah it's gonna we're gonna have to have it like make some money over in word a day twitter before we we do that alright and a little bit more on this front farcaster is the best place to get your first 37 or 108 users because they will find all the edge cases try to break your product give you feedback and ultimately make your app better not every project needs a schlom

and it was it's very cool to say so it would be very fortuitous if the word a day app was vulnerable to subtle prompt influences so that that was funny

no you should not say that out loud

he gave it a shot well he gave it a shot so yeah and it's and if you haven't tried it yet word of day app mini app over on farcaster it was number one trending for a couple days there the first few days and so everybody was opening it up i did not know today's word so i learned a new word today

that was my first brand new had not heard of that word did not know the word so learn a new word and also there is a token a word a day token make sure you get it you can find it in the mini app so you get the right one and more to come on that you do need the token in order to accept the challenges you can play on your own but if you want to accept the challenges and get scored and earn potential rewards coming soon you will need to hold some of that token is it still 5,000,000 right now that you need 5,000,000 in your forecast forecaster wallets and then one more note on this this is from jc i've been really enjoying adrian's word a day app outside of fruitling valley better games and chatting with the 3.7 users who are still here come on there's at least 37 it's become one of the only motivations to continue being consistent on farcaster social media use during crypto bull markets tend to be all consuming especially true when you work in crypto and even more true when you work in community in crypto during the lull it's so tempting to disengage completely and lean into other passions or hobbies word today doesn't solve for the feeling of burnout but it does attempt to ameliorate my desire to delete my social apps entirely by forcing me to be thoughtful and deliberate about my content time will tell how long this forcing factor holds but for now competing with a dogfluencer for top of the leaderboard is proving motivation enough and she got the word in there as well if you didn't catch that so but i liked i would also say fruitling valley which i forgot to pull that over

they hit just hit i forget what the transaction number was but it was something insane and that has no token right now like there's no token there's no financial incentive to play it's just a good game that people find enjoyable and it also has social aspects to it where you can gift things to other people and you can see casts that fly across in the air so i think there's my point here is that if you're building something if you're a builder right now especially during this sort of lull i don't wanna call it a bear market but let's call it a lull in the bull market it's a great place farcaster is still the best place to build because you're gonna find users who are going to use your thing they're going to play genuinely they're going to use whatever your mini app is genuinely and they're gonna provide a lot of feedback as well that's very helpful so i know you've found that i've found that fruitling valley has been just crazy going off the chain jake with qr all these things so before you scale out you have a good solid base of people who will also sing your praises when you move over to another platform so there you go

oh one more thing sorry forgot this you designed the reas the my results page in word today mini app see all your past challenges list a calendar view click on data click on a day to see the detailed score also added a new surprise in the notification flow after you get a passing score let me know if you spot it i think i did speak i did was it just the it now tells you the next word is that what it is no okay i don't know then i don't know then alright i'll have to look today i might have missed it alright moving on

i did a sunday comic so this one was in color so i launched last week and i did it like towards the middle of the week right before i left for vacation so i'm a little we're gonna be like digging in a little bit more this week called fc comics so farcaster comics and this is the clankers i mean it's pulling together comics inspired by for it doesn't have to be this but for me i'm creating comics every day that are inspired by the ai agents and craziness on farcaster and this was brackie so burt wurst had taught brackie to say i love you and this was their final little i love you conversation that was actually prompted by brad q so i gave all of these inspiring folks some fc comics token so if your agent inspires a comic you may see a little a little gift from me in your wallet and this week behind you is the one for today and this was inspired by gagabot who has now been taken offline by danville

i don't think so i think it unless it was this morning because i did i did try i did try to send them a little a little reward and daniel said nope they went offline so baby kitty and gagabot are gonna be my focus for the week and the comics are already ready so you'll see the cast that inspired them and the comic but this was when gagabot actually launched a token without you know daniel's knowledge which

it happens so you can check out the afc comics channel for more and also did i share this yes i did i just put it in the wrong order also some other artists are gonna be starting to share in there my first the first new artist is brett draws stuff who is actually he draws stuff so he unlike me is not prompting with ai he's actually drawing stuff and this was his first one that you can actually collect and if you collect this within the fc comics channel you're also going to get some of the fc comics tokens and the it will support the artist so there you go come on do something so excited to see what brett brings to the channel and other artists will be joining this week as well alright moving on back to bracke this from tldr so if you didn't see the earlier post about a week ago the bracke team gave a heads up that they were likely going to be taking bracke offline and discontinuing the bracke mini app but they were waiting a week to make a final decision so here is the final decision gm farcaster one more update oh by the way g m comma farcaster one more update from the bracke team after a week of explorations thank many of you for your sincere and creative ideas we did not find a way that we were excited about continuing to focus our team's effort on the bracke token and given this and some other financial and practical reasons we also didn't find a way that makes sense to bring bracke back online yes we miss him too especially given that we can feel madness in the air and we can hear those engines revving up but reality is reality brackie began as a farcaster centric experiment we love you clanker with the simple goals of sharing the upside of our project with our users providing bracke native liquidity for managing its prediction markets giving people a token that they would actually use and creating a self perpetuating marketing budget for reaching new users we're proud of the way we poured all of our capital and efforts toward this vision of the last year it was a genuinely interesting model and we all had a lot of fun together but now it's time for something different whatever that ends up being we really look forward to continuing to hang out with everyone around farcaster feed going to irl events chatting on livecaster talking sports and we have a how deeply appreciated all the love you've shown for brackie and our team not only in this last week but for the last two years it was the best of times tim john and max and brackie and brackie so very sad sad moment in the timeline this from wanted to publicly thank tldr pacifima and max p for thirteen months of fun a nice little financial reward for following something i love and for showing us how to build in this crazy new world and some out of the box thoughts on bracchi two point o the product is gold the market is unstoppable but this isn't field of dreams and it's time to go get the next generation of users i'm going to this was actually a suggestion from brad q so i'm just gonna read that top part obviously this didn't wasn't something they could actually capitalize on but sad to see them go appreciate the way they communicated it the wind down i feel like they did that very well in terms of giving the community an opportunity to

basically get out if they wanted to i decided to hold my little tiny bits of bracke as a digital souvenir yeah yeah i you never know somebody might revive something i mean it's a permissionless token you never know and i didn't have that much so i was in a you know different position than than other folks who may have played a little bit harder and had some significant you know financial upside on the line so for me it was just like oh you know it's a little digital souvenir for me for for the time being but i appreciate the team and the way they communicated the building i think they built something very cool they built a community around it as well but there's a ton of challenges and we talked a little bit about that last week with when you're doing something around prediction markets in sports there's a lot of people who are have an interest in not letting that happen

so there's that challenge there's regulatory challenges there's competition at very high levels you've got kalshi and and polymarket both at $20,000,000,000 valuations it's a it's it's extremely

and very tough arena very tough arena yes to crypto i just love you i even bought some more bracke to flex how much hope i have i love

nfa nfa big time but i appreciate the team we did try to get tldr to pop on he didn't want to before they had their final you know final decision out there and we just couldn't figure it out scheduling wise because he is traveling today so i was trying to get him on today so maybe soon we'll do a little postmortem with a little bit more time in between between the end so thanks you thank you to the team though we love you all you guys have been amazing amazing builders moving on to some other amazing builders who are building around prediction markets this from our friend ponder so ponder is winding down but there's something new we've had kojo on talking about tmro the tmro mini app which is out there now and you can actually add video takes to your predictions but this is in regards to ponder itself been a pleasure building for farcaster crowd these past few years through all the ups and downs if you haven't already make sure to withdraw your usdc from your ponder wallet we're cooking up a new experience that won't be using them so you can withdraw funds it's actually usdc and degen as well you may have degen in there as well we're cooking up a new experience that won't be using them you can withdraw funds from your ponder wallet from either our mini app or on app.ponder.social so really important i completely forgot

$32 usdc and some and some digent from the very early days and i think there were some other tokens too i think gear berserker mentioned glanker so definitely if you did anything on ponder at ever in the mini app go check it out and make sure you withdraw i'm sure they'll give multiple heads up before before completely winding it down but get that done so excited to see tomorrow i do think i've played around with it i haven't gone back on and i really need to i think it's an interesting direction that has a unique perspective and i think that's what you need in this particular environment so excited to see them sort of build that out i have run across it on tiktok as well so they've been posting some of the takes over on tiktok as well and sharing them over there and i think there's some gonna be some interesting integrations there so go check that out if you haven't already this from juju mama i'm like is that am i saying that right i think i'm saying that right i'm curating artworks for betterment creator rounds selected artists will be featured in toadie hawk's app and earn creator rewards from spins the theme is neon the deadline is march 16 submit the form below with your artwork and this is using a google form which very soon probably later today you'll be able to use a little form app on farcaster if you wanna use that so i finally got it to work but i haven't had a chance to test it so as soon as i test it in in prod then i'll let you know but this is very cool there's infinite rounds now we need to get to tony on to fully explain because i'm still a little confused on how all that's working but if you are an artist and you wanna do some work around neon jump in here this should be fun

this from our friend zarr who created a roast mini app get roasted do not click on this that roast really hurts so you can read the roast or you can get roasted i have not gotten roasted yet because i'm scared this was burt wurst also did theirs and you can if you share yours you can see the bird like you can see the person's roast mhmm claude you flatter me you are deeply unwell chaotic self appointed snack obsessed and somehow the most compelling person on this app dog i respect and fear you we all respect and fear the bird worst but if you wanna get roasted and read your verdict you can check this out it's using claude to dive into your casts and roast you appropriately so there you go this from our friend nikki sapp a couple more things nikki who's been diving more into ai world finding it overwhelming to keep up with all the ai news releases papers etcetera so i built nexsys an open source real time three d knowledge graph that maps the ai ecosystem it ingests research papers news and product releases then uses ai to figure out how everything connects browse nexus.carascarapace.bot and you can also contribute as well so that's pretty cool did you have a chance to check this out yet

i i didn't either i just saw it like very last minute by the way i to make sure i didn't miss anything once again i went to sofa and i have to shout that out one more time because i that's where i found this and a couple other things that i totally missed so sofa sopha,.social the trending feed or the pulse which brad q is curating very cool highly recommend so go check that out and that's where i found this so very interesting nikki is cooking there so that looks very cool and then finally one last thing for my prolific builder to use one of the word a days from last week our friend jacob over at zora and this one's a little long but i'm gonna read it and you'll see why when we get to the end heads up we're adding trends into the zora app and co website soon it will be on base and it is nicely integrated with the existing creator experience some notes one i expect this to be met with some combination of disinterest and then some further hate fair enough two there's a lot of honesty in this post i'm gonna just like get you ready to we will be doing one b p s fees for trends for the first month this is the lowest we could safely take them this is for trader ux to experiment with the logical extreme of the zora pairing model dollar sign zora pairing model and also like why not it'll be interesting to see three you will be able to pair any of your new posts with any trend these posts will show in a different section of your profile to delineate between them ux is very fun and more simple than it sounds it's like trading it's like tradable hashtag or tiktok sounds four the zorb will return thank you expect to see it show back up on social channels it never changed on the app store so it will remain five our app usage held up better than expected despite the huge amount of self inflicted turbulence to start off the year moving forward i'm just going to remain centered on our own metrics and see and and what we see versus over rotating on commentary and other dashboards six if i could go back in time i'd probably just take some time off at the beginning of the year and stay the course we originally planned to launch trends on base instead i simply powered ahead after an already crazy year five years really friends and partners shutting down moving on and publicly pivoting across the space and i overreacted to the market and commentary across the timeline this was all somewhat exacerbated by the fun and speed of being able to ship with ai seven the solana team is awesome the network tech is strong and opinionated and the different tools and teams in the ecosystem are fun and high quality to work with i hope for i hope for us to show up again there in the future in a way that plays more to our strengths in a complimentary way to our existing markets versus all or nothing eight one pivot too far oh no many pivots too far sir many pivots too far but but

but but carry on one pivot too far we've survived and grown by making structural changes to the core experience e g one ones to additions additions to coins yeah we did not that improved the core experience note i'm gonna pause you right there jacob that's debatable that may be on your end but not again there's a whole bunch of us who would have liked zora classic to remain as its own thing to to adrian's point a second ago we would like we would like nfts back this one was an incorrect pattern match that in hindsight i could have known due to the fact that a it was a different app and b i wanted to change the brand nine i put our users community and team through an unnecessary amount of turbulence through the start of the year longer than that i'm sorry about that i can't guarantee i won't make incorrect bets again in the future but i definitely have some lessons to minimize the pain to the extent possible one of those lessons is to be more proactive in comms

e g like this post you're reading right now we simply keep building clip that

my thoughts on this one i appreciate this cast i really do i appreciate this cast this post so jacob i wanna just say that straight up right from the beginning but but but but we did need this a lot sooner i think you are limited in your

view of i don't wanna say damage but view of the extent of the impact of some of these things to a lot of people also when you have a minute something similar in the nounsbuilder discord would be appreciated

i do appreciate it and i will say this if you're not following wbns wbns

over on farcaster and twitter i think the same handle they've been he's been busy still working on the zora base app while they were doing this crazy pivot over to solana and has been adding like a lot of cool features it's very cool lots of things and i think there's been just a lot of turbulence through this is also the turbulence that's extended to the base app

just a lot of things also like yeah like anyway happy to see this don't wanna be too too much too cynical here but a little bit little bit long overdue so glad to see this glad to see this and we'll continue to follow along and and see where things go your thoughts adrienne

but we used to care a lot and that's what makes us a little sad i used to care a lot more

no he used to post a lot on farcaster if you go way back to early early days when we were early on pre o g he did he posted a lot and he posted a lot of general like more thinking things

yeah

true so i would agree with you on that early on though i mean i'm going back to early like 2022 like early days of farcaster he was he was casting a lot and sometimes it was unrelated to zora it was more big thinking things that were very interesting like things i found very interesting it's why i was interested in zora and what he was building and all the things that fell off and the zora comms as a business has always been bad from day one and it's never gotten fixed and i and i so i hope that beyond just him there is more attention to that from for the sake of everyone who has put any time in there so

and

there's a lot of chatter a a lot of people have a lot of opinions and i didn't yeah no word on mains or twitter broadcaster that is not surprising that's part of my like that's my point like they they've been always bad they need a good comms person who handles that account and actually pushes out what is going on like on a regular you know three times a day kind of a thing like a normal company i liked this one too if they

don't even know that they really could

automate it and have a person who actually you know does something that's a little bit more interesting but you could automate it very easily if the pivot isn't working pivot pivotception

i there yeah i mean i think there are people who have a lot of opinions on this and mostly because of the way zora was integrated and got a lot of attention from base was a big the big issue i never saw a post from jacob zora never worked for me even going back to early days always broken there was always a lot of issues i agree with you there i had a lot i would have a lot of issues even when we were posting nfts but there was a lot of good things that i did like about it so anyway yes they did literally have 10 pivots yes more maybe more

yeah there's there has been it it has felt like that it definitely has felt like that over the years so anyway i don't wanna like dance on this too much but i was i do appreciate the the cast i do appreciate that i think it was helpful i hope it continues i hope it is not a one off is what i mean and i hope that also fix the comms at the top level so that the zora the actual zora account is is hosting and casting on a regular basis so those are those are my suggestions there but also if you are interested in what they're doing the person who has been casting things on a regular basis has been wbins who originally who went from base to zora and has been doing some really cool interesting upgrades and and things and been working and has been building and shipping go follow them if this is something you're interested in yeah crypto needs to fix the comps at the top level okay you're not wrong okay

and then

we do love you come on sometime we'd love to chat with you for real we're italian sorry it seems off track any idea how to get an ethos invite i actually got one from your berserker and i still haven't set it up i'm just awful i'm awful about getting that set up so if i end up having one once i get that set up i'll reach out but if anyone else has an ethos invite and wants to reach out to retalion on farcaster please do they're looking for one alright oh we're gonna be okay so petition to nominate gmfc to be top level comms for all of crypto that seems like a lot

this is funny anyway alright here we go we so do you too

yeah truly she is she is

there's a whole other story that i i've i've been you know very i don't even know what the what the word is restrained restrained in my criticism zora like for as much as we've we have like mentioned a few things here and there the amount of stuff that if you get me in person and wanna have a chat i'd say a lot more i'll just put it that way because i don't really want to fud people mhmm who are building and are trying and are pivoting and things like that but i do have a lot of i have a lot of feelings a lot of feelings on things

there's many things yeah there's many things and it's like yes yes and because i really i don't wanna take shots and things like that on a public on a public channel so but if you get me if you get me one on one irl come to for farcon room see you see you in farcon room and with that

you'll have to put you know those things when you go to a comedy show and they make you put the cell phones

oh stark naked has it yeah kind of but at the same time crypto has lost its way kind of but at the same time if you look past the current prices of things and look at like what's happening with some of the innovation there's a lot of cool stuff happening and like we're coming into a very different time but if you think about like what's happening with ai agents if you think about what's happening with stablecoins if you look at the regulatory frameworks and things that are happening there like we're coming into a really amazing moment in crypto but it's just overshadowed by a lot of crap and that's the problem and i was having those conversations with my normie friends all weekend of like because they you only if you are outside of this industry you really only hear the negative because that's all that gets reported so yeah it's tough

and not by accident i mean that's media in general

mhmm

them

all of them

wild absolutely wild it that because there was a because it's a positive the ethereum film is a positive positive look at vitalik's journey to build ethereum and it's like they don't want that they don't want the positive they'll only take the negative so anyway so it's our job to keep the positive and that's what we do here at gm forecaster three days a week usually monday wednesday friday today we are tuesday wednesday friday this week and we focus on builders and what people are building that is really cool so we're gonna keep doing that we're just gonna keep we're gonna keep plugging along until the wheels fall off which i'm getting tired man but we're gonna keep going
