don’t look now but the higher chart is horrifying
gaming meta… ?

this is the kind of labor i can get behind
some easy reading recommendations that have the potential to fundamentally change your outlook

i would argue that every bookshelf deserves to have a copy of these
if “religious orgs” had to pay taxes in america, the scientology & latter day saints leadership would’ve launched coins in 2017
christmas break books are in
dad said he wanted sausage & peppers, so i said only if i could make it my style

minced sweet & spicy italian sausage, cooked down in spicy hoisin & garlic worcestershire sauce, served with sushi rice & spicy sesame cucumber

this was fire
these are the only projects that started on fc & successfully broke out

in other words, people came to fc specifically for these projects

what can we learn from them?

degen -> tipping meta
gaia -> frames v1 nft claim
clanker -> bot deployment meta
fire -> non-frame fc oAuth game

the clankers below couldn’t quite infiltrate the zeitgeist despite outsized attention capture, at least not yet:

anon -> real tech
blonde -> cultural phenomenon
gdupi -> authentic IP

in addition to those above, the projects below also have potential to breakout & it’s likely just a matter of time:

higher -> aesthetics & determination
clankermon -> likely frames v2 breakout
native -> experimentation
clankfun -> fc outside of fc

why do you think degen & clanker broke out while others failed?

how can we build on fc but for people outside of fc?
let me introduce you to a little thing called “frames v2”
higher, we must go
if my critical shitposting ever makes you question my loyalties & allegiances, you can always go look at my wallet

i am loud, but my money is where my mouth is

my biggest bets right now

proxy
degen
higher
clanker
anon
morpho
native
clankermon
i want to hate on the new initiative, believe me, i do

i was up all night thinking about it

but i will constrain myself until i can positive post to balance my feed

WAGMI!! ETH to 100k!!
you must understand, anon, these past few weeks… it was all… a game
i don’t know who needs to hear this but we’re in the business of building castles in the skies & telling stories

when i worked on the street, we propped several billion dollar companies up for years on end exclusively through coordinated PR campaigns

in a world of headlines, operational execution is only half the battle

craft a coherent & appealing narrative & you can control the market
gm, if anyone actually wants their token to appreciate, pls feel free to hit me up

and if this is not you, pls also let me know so I can dump your token with haste & completely write you off as an operator

while this place has a fantastic dev community, it deeply lacks in all things IR/PR & marketing, which is quite frankly killing us

if we are serious about creating an ecosystem, this needs to change now—as if it’s not “if you build it, they will come,” then it’s most certainly “if they can earn, they will come”

after all, this is crypto, so if we keep fucking up our tokens, we WILL destroy any chance we have at attracting new users

i mean look at our charts… the rest of crypto mocks base coins for being zombie runners & we’re just a small subset of that

at first glance, our tokens look dead… small holderbases that pump exclusively on 5 whales across 10 wallets who then immediately rotate, causing the chart to fizzle out until it chops down… rinse & repeat
the ethereum inner circle called, they said buy fartcoin
i could care less about missing CT trends. the narrative shifts almost daily amongst their squirrel minds anyway. i was just echoing the sentiment on the timeline & denying that it’s a culture issue. its not. it’s a dau issue, as is almost every other problem we have here…

like or not, this is a crypto native network & dan’s vision, as he has stated publicly, is to host ALL OF crypto here first & foremost — that is phase 1

that means airdrop & tip farmers; that means “wagmi” people; that means exit liquidity & all that cringe shit—we need them & can’t survive without them

those 100k follow-circlejerks are the liquidity; they are the distribution—they are the users that we need on the apps that people are building here

why do people build games on tg? devs go where disto is

we don’t all have to get along, but this is the kind of attitude that hurts us

we are not a position of power; we don’t get to pick & choose who comes here — that’s what the unfollow & mute buttons are for
no way! who could’ve foreseen this particular holder base aggressively rotating into the next hot shitcoin the very second it gets flipped?!

i thought they were in it for the art & holding until 100m?!

how could they let this happen?!

these fc trench hands painting our charts are the reason why we can’t breakout—this is the other side of the gdau coin & there’s nothing we can do about it

LFG
why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends?

not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN

how could this be?

yeah, listen, i don’t know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of us—it has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with culture—it has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of us…

this a unicorn app & there are 5k of us… more than 2 years in… and there are 5k of us—made even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade

culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march

culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feed—the only project that had sustainably brought in more users

culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise”

culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself
NOOOOOOOOOO

I LOST MY STOKE VILLAGE
if they get me tomorrow, know that i’m just on here yapping, many times before thinking, but always with good intention
