I don't fully understand what I'm looking at when I open the search page and wallet.

This isn't a criticism of the team's recent updates - just a public confession of my ignorance to all of you who seem to swim through all of this like fish in water.

I mostly ignore tokens here - not out of cynicism, but confusion. When I click on token pages, even popular ones like $DEGEN, I struggle to understand what the project actually is. (The bottom of the $DEGEN page says "No casts about this token yet.")

After a few months on Farcaster, I feel I'm missing out on an interesting way to support interesting projects - beyond donating via Crowdfund. The terms I'm seeing blend together in my eyes: "app coins, "memecoins", "creator coins", "streamer coins" and things just called "coins." Plus "scam coins" flagged by the community.

This cast is not a request for trading tips. I'm looking for your personal perspectives or reading recommendations to understand what drives this activity everyone seems so fluent in and what makes Farcaster a special place to do it. What motivates you to buy tokens here?

I'm having a boomer moment and want to overcome it. Thank you.
