fc doesnโ€™t need to be better than X

it can win by becoming the backbone for micro communities/economies on the internet

told a crypto skeptic today that it enables digital property rights and it clicked for him

so many foundational concepts in this space are still foreign on the outside, sometimes forget that

smart dude, had only thought of crypto as an investment - a highly speculative one ofc lol

beautiful day to take a stroll, read, talk w friends, explore the thing that's been top of mind and u are naturally curious about

the breakthroughs often come from the things that don't look the most "productive"

more curiosity, less expectations

when it comes to investing everyone is playing a different game

>different time horizons
>different financial situations
>different goals
>different risk capacity and tolerance

investing is mostly behavioral, we can keep an open mind when other ppl share their thoughts while also coming to our own independent decisions and not allowing it to drown out our own convictions

something i try to think about often when it gets noisy is โ€œwhy am i in this space?โ€ - this can change over time, but for me it has stayed relatively similar - freedom, ownership, permissionless access to opportunities, collaboration, having fun w brilliant ppl looking to create a better world for all

letโ€™s have a week! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿซก
ga fc, i hope u know that the brightest days are ahead of us โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

enjoy the rest of your sunday!

majority still see crypto as pure โ€œspeculationโ€, w time ppl will realize itโ€™s a tool for freedom, that also unlocks economic activity exponentially greater than today

this gap in understanding, and the time it takes to fill the gap, is the opportunity

letโ€™s have ourselves a friday ๐Ÿ˜
social media - broadcasting
social network - connecting
social economy - the above + ownership of identity + transacting + free market

the word โ€œsocialโ€ will likely fall off over time as it becomes the expectation

fc is the best example of a social economy weโ€™ve seen to date, early days ๐ŸŒฑ
shaw is gonna do epic stuff on fc, highly recommend giving him a follow

this place remains highest signal to noise we can find anywhere on the internet ๐Ÿงช
has anyone built a comprehensive guide on all current earning opportunities available to creators on fc that also includes how to get started w each?

off the top of my head:
$degen
moxie
ham
rounds - many opportunities/sponsors
one click in-feed mints via frame - many platforms

i'm sure i'm missing some. feel that creators w larger followings elsewhere could benefit from easily visualizing what is possible here that they simply aren't getting on other social, and having a quick way to get started on all vs needing to go down each separate rabbit hole. the incentives list is gonna continue to grow.

a few things top of mind rn

>thereโ€™s always an opportunity cost - investments, how we spend our time, what we read/listen to - we gotta be selective

>compounding takes time and markets do their best to shake ppl out, there will be many times along the journey where we will question ourselves - before making a change, ask has the long term thesis changed or am i letting short term emotions factor in?

>continually reflect on what your best ideas are, has something changed? important we pay attention to the other side of the argument vs neglecting it, this can make a view stronger if know both sides thoroughly

>important that we donโ€™t overlook what is right in front of us - it doesnโ€™t have to be fancy, fc is a great example showing a lot of the โ€œsimpleโ€ things have the most traction

>we gotta take care of ourselves, physically and mentally, donโ€™t forget to have fun and make memories w ppl u love
