It’s been a while since I’ve spent meaningful time here. There are three reasons: (1) The vibes shifted. Too much focus on trading and prediction markets and content coins and stuff that I don’t care about. People I cared about weren’t as active. (2) The future was happening on X. Lots of AI stuff that I wouldn’t have learned about or wouldn’t have been able to implement in my business if I wasn’t spending more time there. (3) My potential clients were on X. So I spent more time there to make more money. The Neymar acquisition is probably the best thing that could’ve happened to this place, though. It’s clear that Farcaster will never compete with X and Instagram and whatever other mainstream platforms exist. Farcaster is prosumer social media. It’s for the founders, the tinkerers, the hustlers who are at the frontier and want to be around others like them. There is no other place like it on the internet. I’m gonna be spending more time here because I think, in Neynar’s hands with the reinvigorated energy in the community, we will see an entrepreneurial revolution across crypto networks, agents, and organizational innovation that I absolutely need to be experiencing from the front lines. If we haven’t chatted in a while, feel free to reach out. Higher 🫡

Tokenization of everything could be good if we build infrastructure for tokens that allow them to be bought, sold, and used in a "good" way. I don't know what good means, which is why I'm not saying the Zora update is good or bad, but I think it has something to do with the messaging and UX around "content coins." Highly curated NFT marketplaces *felt* better to me than high-speed attention markets, and I'm trying to figure out if the latter is truly good and something we want to optimize for explicitly.
