gift-economics

I build here because of all the reciprocity of being here over the years. 

It is more gift economy that transactional. Though there are of course rich financial seams.

I make digital art that explores how we express ourselves together.

I agree that there's a complex hybrid gift + market social economy operating here.

Hard to tell how much is gift-based reciprocity and how much is transactional, but the intersection of these elements as seen on Farcaster is a unique combination. I don't think it's possible anywhere else yet.
