A huge congrats to everyone that worked tirelessly to ship the new Base app.

I’m very excited for this new chapter in the onchain ecosystem. 

A major client on Farcaster means bigger distribution, more opportunities to earn, and a better chance at bringing even more people onchain.

Thanks! Are you excited over this announcement? 100 $tipn

Tbh, I preferred when they called it wallet. 

The fact that we can do nfc p2p payments makes me very excited. 

I actually think many merchants around the world might prefer usdc. Can be a risk when the regulators notice. 

More users on the protocol can only be a good thing, right?

For sure, and we're still early. TBA would bring up the game where coinbase has presence but i still think many places (even here) are still not aware what this (farcaster) is.

Yup. Like I said, it should be popular once people see the utility. But authorities are going to be the roadblock eventually. And when that time comes, it’s because we are close to winning :)

Oh, one more thing I don’t like about base app - no website. I am personally not mobile first. But maybe people are

Yes but you still have BNM and Banks shunning crypto in general. Off-ramping here is still horrendous. Using p2p just puts your accounts & funds in trouble.

I actually think if we could get the average nasi lemak seller to accept usdc, via touching phones, they would. They already know about tng ewallets. And its markets like malaysia where usdc could be so much more popular. 

I also don’t think people care about the protocol per se. They just care about utility. Improving their lives.
