If the people don’t want to tip in $DEGEN, why should they? You should tip in the token that you most identify with. “Stop trying to fight it.” If the fight is “Farcaster can only have one community token win” then I will fight. Makes no sense, and isn’t the model I want to promote.

All the other Farcaster tokens either rugged or fizzled out, Degen’s the only one still standing and actively supporting the ecosystem. If you’d rather back a random pump-and-dump over real community value, that’s your call. Just don’t be surprised when Degen keeps winning.

I'm not denying that Degen is worth more than all of those tokens, I just disagree with the mentality. This is like saying "incumbents already won, don't try to build another startup." We should encourage more people to try things, experiment, and try to build token and community value. To discourage that is categorically wrong.

and i'm totally fine with that, build all the tokens you want, experiment, innovate, go wild. but while degen is the dominant token right now, why not make it the default in mini apps? like literally swap out usdc for degen, get the flywheel spinning. if another token comes along and does something cooler, great, make that one the default then. but what i don’t get is usdc being everywhere on farcaster, support your own ecosystem first.

bc USDC isn’t a community token. it’s just dollars. it’s something everyone understands. a good default minimizes complexity. if i’m new to farcaster, i don’t know what degen is, but i know what dollars are.
