My pleasure. I've been involved in crypto off-and-on since 2011 when I bought my first bitcorns. I was invited to Farcaster by @awheck before it went permissionless, saw the truth of what was happening, and went to work. The channel came later and, later still, the $degen token thanks to @jacek.

Thank you WakΞ, for taking the time 🎩

Tell us a little about yourself, as well as how you came to be involved with the $DEGEN community/channel!

Degen

Degen channel exists because @0xen nagged @dwr.eth for it. I assume @0xen wanted the /degen channel so he could dump on noobs, but you'd have to ask him 😇

Can you give a little background of the  /degen channel? 
Such as how it started and the motivations behind it?

People like opportunity. They like risk. They like being among people who are similar and financially aligned.

farcaster is the firmament, the plenum
$degen is the water that brings life

and so, we grow 🌱

The /degen channel is undeniably currently one of the most popular channel on Farcaster; why and how do you think it came to be so?

Join Farcaster. Learn about why the protocol is different so you can better take advantage of the coming opportunities.

"own your audience" isn't trivial and we aren't larping.

Join the channel. Participate. Get some skin in the game. Help us learn and proliferate and ✨prosper✨ and be degentlemanly af

As a new user to Farcaster, how can they get involved in the /degen channel and community? What are the incentives or reasons to do so?

Time is limited. I'm not going to water down the internet syndicating my dumb-assery to every social network and I can't create good vibes everywhere. I had to make a choice and I chose to commit to Farcaster and to the degentlemen 🎩

Are you involved in any other Social Networks? 
What draws you to the Farcaster community in particular?

Thank you so much to our Degentleman, WakΞ 🎩 for joining us in this AMA! Plenty of interesting answers 😄 Hope you have a great day!

From degen blood does crypto grow. 

But degens aren't just fodder for scammers, we're on the frontier. Pushing boundaries, discovering value, changing it. We get robbed, killed, and ruined. Sometimes rich.

design space is wide open, we need bravery

degens brave the wild and @bankless follows with their settlers

@wake - what do you think of the whole "degenerate gambler" title kind of turning into a term of endearment in crypto? Is it just that we're all incorrigible gamblers or is it somehow a new world on the financial frontier?

Tricky, because all roads lead to $degen right now. 

But I'll bite: desoc, broadly. And with it, credit and other reputation systems. "Proof of human" primitives that actually work and don't require eyeballs.

Besides that, on-chain gaming will be 🔥 but only after we've abandoned the old world and do it for real

Outside of $degen, what are some of the most interesting areas of crypto that you’re personally excited about?

When my son was a baby, I sang him lullabies. For awhile, I sang The Nationals' rendition of "The Rains of Castamere" because I rather sound like their lead. But this got old, so I pivoted to nu metal, Tool specifically. The name is from Pneuma and my UN is a nod to those perfect days.

Just a man singing to his baby.

I've been to Vegas. Men and women are equally susceptible to vice.
To me, "degen" is an intution, a drive. A kind of hunger that takes priority over gender.

For me, degentlemen aren't human and so not exclusive to any part of humankind. We're crypto ambition made manifest.

My pronouns are "greed" and "money plz"

How can we make “degentleman” more gender-inclusive while still retaining the playful ironic nod to classic casino culture?
