i think i should write something about memecoins and contentcoins and why they absolutely are here to stay.
nothing works as fast as language.
all we're doing is trying to backlink language faster.
for example, i could have done a pole for my last cast. except the easiest and most frictionless flow was open a "note" (a recast in this instance), write my thought, and post.
the number of additional steps it would have taken to go back, find mini-app, etc etc, the cognitive load stopped it all in it's track, i would felt discouraged or forgotten the original thought.
we are shrinking the shipping lanes between human consciousness and reality. thought to output. thought to monetization. thought to thought.

prediction: miguelgarest will be one of the biggest designers coming out of the Farcaster community.

years after cancelling spotify, i still miss it. There aren't many products i would say that about.
I mean yeah Farcaster (the app & protocol), but that's like talking about water being wet.

One micro learning I've had since being in tech, farcaster, and web3 is -- the smartest and most technical of any niche one is tapped into make big news of amazing innovation with very little consideration how far down the road it is to adoption.
For example, AI Agents with native wallet integrations, all the crazy cool use-cases that popped onto the scene. The supply got sucked up real quick because the target audience is so small still.
This happens in all aspects.
Not just the tech but in product development, you hit a great pocket of users, you immediately pivot into the next cohort. Feels like there is something inherently missed when great use-cases are available but the demand is so niche and will take a while to grow demand organically.

hilarious "AI agent" that lies. Oddly, depending on how much of codebase/language of humans this was trained on, it could literally be meme-ing human behavior.

Snapchain is now live!
Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows.
I recorded a new beginner friendly video series to explain how this works:

someone needs to partner with all these microschools to put credentials onchain for the next generation to be all setup on an upgraded system of work!

It’s really wild that humans are so far the only known species to so easily construct multiple alternate realities.

The truth will set you free.
All we're doing is building backlinking for apps.

Zuck's behavior makes a lot more sense now in the anti-trust legal framework.
Product development looks more like bowling alleys.
You can have good bumper rails to nudge the user down the aisle in hopes to get a strike. We want everyone to get a strike but we know it doesn't happen so easily.
Or you can luckily land a great user that just throws that ball down with no bumpers and BAM!

When crypto adoption takes hold, via stablecoins, the purist are really going to complain.
Wrongly, considering they will be the primary beneficiary for being early.
Stop complaining. You need them.

You can just do things and you can do nothing.
Both are equally important.

Farcaster is the best.
"I'm embarrased by the last year old version of me" I think this is a great thing as a founder.
This is the next cross-border trillion dollar problem.

I think the challenge with onboarding normies is that there is just way too much to learn. There are too many concepts to understand to use crypto safely.
I casted before that I got a hotel in Panama to accept crypto for the first time. I set them up with Coinbase wallet and sent the money there. USDC on base. Pretty easy.
But then how can they off-ramp? So we needed to setup a Coinbase account where they could add their bank, kyc, and off-ramp.
It got really confusing explaining the difference between a wallet + key vs their Coinbase account + password.
They still haven’t even added their bank because it requires 2FA- but there isn’t service here. So they have to leave to go into town to find service just to get their SMS code to initially login to Coinbase.
So then I explained passkeys can help with that.
Besides even setting up a wallet and an off ramp mechanism, they asked how can they accept more crypto in the future. I had to explain Stablecoins…
