if you want honest feedback on your product — farcaster, crypto, or otherwise — reply here with a link to your product and anything specific on which you may want feedback.

will share Loom video (privately, or public if that's your preference) with some initial reactions and recommendations.
i am pulling a @keccers.eth and today i can feel the dangerous dark downward doomerism spiral start to take hold of me

following the $525M Praxis announcement and our own journey helping build IRL<>URL communities and meaningful experiences that leverage our digital future (farcaster, crypto, blockchain, etc), i feel there is no better time to share our next phase of making this future a reality: my pre-seed of exactly $0.00.

imo the only time crypto has come remotely close to having a storytelling moment as powerful as Tesla's "We, Robot" or SpaceX's Starship booster landing was @coinbase's "Update the System" ad

i guess we need more marketers??? or more live real-life use cases??? or both???
say hi to friend and inspiration, @raechellambert! we met 3+ years ago at the first All-In summit at a 10-person women's brunch she tweeted about

and then she accidentally founded unofficial All-In meetups

and then she founded community-based event startup River (+ just closed a $1.5M pre-seed)!

community queen fr
"entrepreneurship is our generation's backpacking in europe"

the above came up in conversation about founders. thoughts?

the emerging and ever-growing market of IRL social apps will need a permissionless social graph in order to be as impactful and wide-reaching as possible

this is why i’m passionate about farcaster’s open, programmable approach to social and its bet on channels

technology to connect us, not divide us

gray mornings with this guy all week

regardless of how advanced robots get, i don’t ever see them being capable of replicating the complex interplay of physical and emotional chemistry, intimacy and anticipation — the exchange of wanting and being wanted — that makes sexual desire such a visceral, all-consuming sensation. robots will never compare.

gauging the farcaster audience… do you know anyone in this photo of Hollywood Reporter’s “new A-list,” the “most successful” creators “dominating the business of new and old media”?

proud friend moment

@keccers.eth has been grinding away on poop tech — Throne — for the past year and i’m lucky enough to get some behind the scenes of her day-to-day (we all are)

makes me grin like a motherfucker and burst with pride when i see Throne out in the wild getting praise

some gjusta lore:

this large cylindrical structure in the middle of patio is left over molding from frank gehry’s huge binocular building (now the google office) down the street

behind the cylinder, they grow all their passionfruit in-house on the vines of their back fence into the alley

i love gjusta :)
/teddit
