quick note:
i’ve been so busy that i haven’t had a chance to express how excited i am for FarCon NYC next week.
a year ago, @erica, @mcbain and a whole crew of us were on calls daily, running around like crazy, sleep deprived and nervous to host everyone for FarCon 2024 in Venice.
the amount of energy that goes into an experience like this is indescribable because it is driven exclusively by an irrational love for the community; there’s no other explanation why any of us would undertake it.
and the love @esteez.eth has put into farcon NYC is next level; she deserves a all the shout outs and all the thank yous for what i know will be another incredible FarCon experience to come.
the best part, as always, will be the people. candidly, it’s been pretty lonely for me since i’ve started at farcaster — and i know the magic of our community and the charm of springtime in nyc is the perfect antidote :)
TLDR: grateful for each of you, esp @esteez.eth, and can’t wait to see some of you soon xx

Bill Gates' daughter Phoebe and Sophia Kianni just launched Phia, the "booking.com of fashion"
the target audience is NOT farcaster (yet lol) but smart girls aged 25-30 who wanna "shop like a genius" and find best deal across 40k sites
side note: the duo also just signed with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network for a pod

stumbled into a convo with a tiktok “creator” who has made ~$200k so far.
says she paid $97 for a “community” to learn how to go from making $10 a day to $1000 a day from tiktok shop.
this guy jonny who claims to make $150k a month (yes, month) does his course on wop, “but he doesn’t like to call it a course because it’s a community. it’s not a course.”
anyway she is on track to make $44k this month from TikTok shop and upgraded to 1:1 coaching for $4k.
the first step is to join the community and watch the video on “how to traffic hack” (yes, for real) and join the discord because that’s where the courses are.
“it’s about to go from $97 to $180 so sign up now!!! it really is a family! i was praying to god that i needed a sign and that night i found jonny and my life changed.”
have you guys seen the TikTok shop slop?
“it’s not a pyramid scheme, i had to google what that meant.”
this is much worse than i thought.
we (as a society) are cooked lol.

likely unpopular opinion / hot take but whatever:
i actually wish more VCs (and no, not only crypto VCs) were here
most likely to analyze trends, talk to hundreds of smart people a year, patternmatch across industries, and write in public in a way that invites good convos
s/o to @alanadlevin @winnie @yekim.eth ily

one of my fav quick pieces i've read of late. takes a look at how community mountain clubs could inspire how L2s structure their networks.
@keikreutler is a phenomenal (underfollowed!) writer, thank you and @syndicate for producing work like this.

who here has read Lord of the Flies?
turns out Golding, the author, was an alcoholic misanthrope who
allegedly said he enjoyed hurting people. not necessarily shocked that he wrote such a twisted piece of fiction.
also turns out that in 1965, 6 schoolboys *actually* got stranded on an island off Tonga for a year+. what happened?
did they descend into power struggles, chaos, violence?
no, lol. they built a garden, set up a badminton court, took turns keeping watch over a fir, and resolved to deal with conflicts peacefully.
one even broke his leg and everyone else banded together to take over his responsibilities while they set his leg to heal perfectly (which it did).
eventually they got rescued by a passing boat and stayed lifelong friends.
never would've learned any of this if i didn't pick up Humankind to read. so glad i did.

anecdote from Substack Notes (one of my fav apps rn):
"Having seen the two ways to grow [slow, steady growth vs. virality], I would still choose the first way any day. Why would I do that?
Because I can control consistency, I cannot control virality. Consistency is an input variable, virality is an output variable."
