fc coins getting rekt as daus dwindle & ct dances around a tba tombstone base pushed zora way too aggressively, integrating a mid-7th pivot platform into an $80b pubco app release at the most fundamental level of usage with zero validation & against a wall of external & thoughtful criticism… it’s unheard of as a result, the two have become inseparable & “base app” has now lost its brand name, barely a year in — but users this & that, see: world fc chose to build against its core tam for over two years & destroyed its public perception in the process; now a token is the only way out base learned nothing from farcasters shortcomings & chose to push creator coins from the very top; now a token is the only way out no one asked farcaster nor base to CREATE net-new creators; this is crypto the long-term sustainability of tba & certainly now fc given the wallet upgrades does NOT depend on net-new creators this is crypto; we’re building crypto apps it doesn’t have to be like this, ya know all both of y’all had to do was build for the devs… they will literally do your job for you; all you need to do is listen & support them

can't disagree. looking at my bags compared to non-FC and non-base tokens and the base summer is over and I am genuinely wondering whether those airdrops will come before next crypto winter. applying my mental models form the corporate world... I sense "must-win battles" and perhaps hubris esp. re the crusade against existing crypto users/traders whatever that creators will be the life blood of web3. If they mean the 1000s of people who are using @tryemerge with joy on a daily basis - then we surely don't need zora and creator coins I haven't written this off yet and I must admit that I found Jacob actually quite convincing on basecamp stage. I track coinage biz model as this is a true CooP with real dividend distro for NFT holders. not sure what the utility of the creator coin is but we'll find out soon. anyways, appreciating your edgy stance - what must be heard needs to be said first. will they listen?
