I don’t agree that fun was discouraged or deemphasized on FC. It just depends on how you define fun. What people there found fun was being in a definite culture of “creating value” not just “attracting capital.” That value could be things built, or ideas civilly shared. I know you know this, but “getting new people rich” always means taking that money from somewhere. Usually it is from late entrants or “retail”, however you want to call it. Dan fostered what imo was an early YC-like culture of “make things people want”, which puts genuine value creation above all else. Being in crypto, of course, there were fun and capital forward mechanisms to give people upside while doing that. But value creation was a primary cultural norm. I thought it was incredible. It was real. Like a YC for crypto founders, where an audience of non-founders could hang out while being early to the new experiments. Things like Degen, Clanker, Bankr, Warplets, Bracky, QR, etc were very unique and successful not in spite of having their value-add focus, but because it was relatively unique in crypto to focus on such experiences, with consume ambition, while also being willing and able to natively play with the primitives like tokens nfts predictions etc that have made crypto successful thus far. Nothing on Farcaster broke out big, but you see above a lot of cool shots on goal above. My diagnosis is not that people were being ivory tower, but that many people came to FC for the opportunity to build social distribution, in part bc they lacked a CT following at first or disliked it outright; so, as a consequence, playing the twitter game was a weakness or a non focus of many founders. But that this is where the breakout wins tend to happen. (For example, I tried hard on twitter with Bracky but ultimately just didn’t have the right background / game. Learning the game of twitter + crypto twitter is something that is benefitted from a unique nature or an experience iterating. I didn’t have it. I think there were some others who suffered a similar fate.) I’m curious: How do you see Farcaster reviving, and where do you think it can go from here? What could it provide that CT can not or does not?

Ethereum improves when researchers, builders, and the validators who secure the network all have a voice in protocol proposals. EIP-8363 is now live on EVA Hub. Validators can vote on this proposal to signal their support or disapproval, with real staked ETH behind every response. Connect your validator and participate: hub.ethva.net

If we do nothing, in a few years almost all ETH will be staked and your yield will be negative (w/ taxes)
