i like the base app. a lot.

crypto natives might not like it because it doesn’t directly serve their needs (finding the next 100x).

but it serves a larger purpose for the industry. 

it’s one step closer to showing the broader population what’s possible when you combine social with:

1. ownership

“onchain” isn’t just a bank account. money is a large part but you also own collected media, your name/handle, access to things, your followers, in-game assets. they’re a part of your profile. 

2. commerce

you can buy and sell anything without linking out. every purchase can happen at the moment of discovery. you can see a product in the feed and buy it instantly.

3. peer to peer transactions

you can send money in the feed or in a dm, set up a wager in the group chat, and resell anything directly (old furniture, electronics, whatever) with native payments.

the foundation to meaningfully embed blockchain into everyday digital and physical life is there.

How do I post from TBA? I can’t find Farcaster anywhere on the app. Even when I search.
