"Invite your friends to join Farcaster" sure is an odd growth strategy for a company that has raised $180M

Not done giving free criticism, though, I bet. 

Would be cool to get a bit more breaking news on here. If you can support some of that with that massive warchest, I think that could help with increasing users.

The novelty of FC (ie app interoperability, crypto features, etc) is hard for a new user to comprehend, especially non-crypto people.  Rewards and multiple apps and mini apps aren’t materially different from what’s out there.  There is little reason to stick around if you don’t already know people.

Novel FC clients could allow new users to go from 0 -> aha! for specific novel value props.  That only works if the clients/value props are truly unique, though.

Put another way, it’s not clear how to reliably get users to realize the novel value of FC and funding other clients  may allow you to increase the novelty search surface area.

I’d spend it on another client.

…for real tho :x

people are being nerfed across board on the leaderboard. there’s probably some sort of geo blocking thing going. because certain casts get exposure while some don’t

I’d spend money on /thegoodlums farcaster ephemera, playing @betswirl & hiring /thegoodlums for some good ol’ fashioned Guerilla marketing campaigns that bring in normie outliers & normies alike… haha jk i dunno, I’d probably take the money launch it at myself and say go nuts come up with something that will bring in the next billion humans. I’d have a 99.99% success rate, pretty confident.
