I've been preoccupied elsewhere, come briefly check Farcaster and see I’ve been earning $. That's a huge unlock for stickiness and growing MAU.

Valuable GTM insight for founders from a rockstar founder/product lead and web3 OG: There are real challenges with transitioning from offchain to onchain at launch. Consider building onchain from day one.

9:57pm ET, Friday, April 18. 15h 31m left in Auction #45. @horsefacts.eth just outbid @phil, who walked him through our mini app on a livestream earlier today. You know what they say... You can lead a horse to $QR, but you can't stop them from outbidding you. https://qrcoin.fun
