I really do believe you take moral damage to your soul every time you put out a new coin, with a high bar for exceptions.

Unless it's something that:
a) Has long-term, unique meaning to you that comes from the heart
b) Can only be done via the token medium (and the side effects of the medium are inevitable)

Personally creating a new conduit for other people to PVP gamble against each other, while simultaneously taking a rake on the volume, without the exceptions above, is morally vacuous behavior. The more frequent, the worse.

Made some golden beet harbenero hot sauce - need to make it a bit thinner and going to try to ferment the harbs for the next batch. But overall, pretty good.

Well though out, and much better than Zora model. Not everyone has to participate, and a nice bonus if you do want to participate ￼😊

Dang the more I think about this, the smarter it is. 

Creators don't need to dump on their collectors. They don't need to manage a token. Collectors can play the incentive and trading game if they want, but the creator still probably gets max value. Maybe there's more value in the after market, but imo 90% of the time the auction will probably produce max value based on the auction mechanics/speculation.

New: Collectibles! 

Support your favorite creators by collecting their casts onchain. Each cast can be turned into a unique, 1-of-1 collectible. Just tap the new "collect" icon on a cast to get started. 

Casts can be collected starting at $1. If there are multiple collectors, it goes to the highest bidder. Creators get 90% collectible earnings, and the remaining 10% goes to the protocol rewards. 

We’re excited about collectibles for a few reasons: 
1. Creators earn directly from their audience
2. New creators can earn on their first day
3. Users get to collect a unique piece of Farcaster history

Collectibles will go live tomorrow morning around 9am PT. We're announcing this early so people can be ready to collect their favorite casts when the feature is live!

Just a reminder to read one of the better pieces of sport-writing I've ever read!

Crypto might have found use-case #2 for US consumers. @goldytalks called it all along.

Today I learned that the Sixers are on Blue Sky. I will give it my all to get them and others to try out Farcaster! 

Farcaster needs to grow in the sports audience - I wonder if this is something the team is prioritizing.
