@horsefacts.eth and his family oversee it all, with @bertwurst.eth as mascot.
Excited to pop into @gmfarcaster in a few minutes to talk exclusively about the Epstein files.
Come watch history be revealed.

What happened to @ponder ?
it peaked. 🥲
Keynesian beauty contests are conceptually elite: they show what people really think by making them put skin in the game. Perfect for a FC mini app.
Some stats ->
- 300k transactions on @base.base.eth
- $500k+ in p2p payouts
- 32,000+ users
- 67 fun
The problem
Even with protections, people won’t put real money on anything that feels game-able. Sybils are everywhere. And even if we’re defending outcomes, the vibe is still: “yeah but… what if it’s rigged?”
So most people cap out at $1-5 bets unless the outcome is insanely obvious...
...and when the outcome is insanely obvious, the game gets less fun.
You want the classic crypto equation of more money = more fun, but the KBC structure doesn't have enough trust for that (maybe something World can solve with eyeball scans...)
What's next
Daily ponders continue (free money).
But our main quest is now building a new place where predicting the future is a social game between humans — not a spreadsheet for whales.
Ponder users will carry over stake into the new app + any airdrop stuff. we’ll push details from the @ponder app when it’s time, so keep notifications on.
more soon. new adventure loading… 🚀

Around the same time we shut down @ponder , my pregnant wife got laid off from her PM job at Indeed.
Brutal timing. We had no health insurance, baby due in 2 months, looking at a crippled job market. It’s part of why I’ve been quiet on Farcaster.
So we decided to build a career intelligence platform to put Indeed out of business. The narrative is hitting.

Just launched the side project I’ve been working on for the past 9 months.
She’s still a little buggy but showing lots of potential.
