Finally, @farcaster has been acquired by @balajis.eth's Network School @ns. For its long-term relevance and influence, this might be the best outcome. While I don't fully align with NS, I'm glad to see it revisit decentralized social's original promise. NS aims to build digital societies, from techno-optimist communities to the physical world, with an AI-enforced Network Code. Decentralized governance and cypherpunk ideals first drew me to crypto. But as DAOs faded and speculation took over, we seemed to forget those ambitions. Still, some "Network Code" provisions under "Opt in to Constraints" seem strict. FC may remain a small, cozy corner rather than a mass social network. Of course users can always switch clients for different vibes, as the protocol remains open. FC has changed hands several times, with users coming and going. We've almost forgotten what it was meant to be. I don't know where NS will take it, but I've voted to stay. I want to see how this digital society grows and how far it can go.

Without pump.fun, the same speculative demand would produce another casino-style launchpad. Yet most attempts to give crypto a life beyond finance seem to have failed too. why has speculation been so much easier to sustain than other uses? I don’t have a clear explanation yet, let alone a solution. https://x.com/Mavericks100xs/status/2107841451648266503
