what if merkle is quiet because they're acquiring the only base sequencer?

yesterday, in rapidfire question round @adrienne asked "what is one thing you wish more people understood about crypto?", it got my brain cooked and all i could come up was a pretty banal answer so i thought i could take another shot at it and make use of farcaster *social* features while they're still here i loved the question, but i thought about non-crypto users by default, which was a mistake and i would like to revisit it from the perspective of people who are in crypto and want it to succeed the thing i wish more people understood about crypto is linux and i don't mean the technical mumbo jumbo, even though i see many parallels i mean the distribution people have a natural tendency to resist change no matter how beneficial it might be. they come up with simple and valid arguments why the thing is bad ("you can't play games on linux", "you need to know the commands by heart", "you've got to compile all software"...) and they can't be persuaded. i've heard "this is *the year* of the linux desktop" so many times (why i cringe whenever i hear "onchain summer"), but it never materialized yet, linux clearly won it's everywhere and people don't even realize it and that's the key. *especially* for crypto, which is so much more polarizing than linux ever was linux didn't win by convincing every user to switch their desktop os. it won by becoming the silent infrastructure: the core of servers, android, smart tvs, routers, supercomputers, and cloud the user never had to "install linux" to benefit from its architecture; they just started using the internet, their smartphone, and all modern services. for crypto to truly win, we need to stop fixating on the "desktop moment" - the time everyone suddenly gets a wallet and manages their own keys - and start focusing on building the silent, essential infrastructure that underpins the next gen of global services, payment rails, data storage... crypto's success won't be a loud, overnight conversion. it will be the slow, quiet realization that every critical piece of technology they use is now trustless, permissionless, onchain the thing I wish more people understood is that crypto, like linux, wins by becoming essential and invisible and if you're building on top of crypto, don't build great crypto products, build great products

farcaster guide to warplets: 1) no bright lights (candles are fine) 2) don't get them wet (water makes them put on an eye-patch and pretend they're pirates) 3) do not feed them after midnight (that's where "farcaster eats first" originated)
