i’m feeling that energy again. the same energy that fueled me over the past years. for me, farcaster has always been about the people. about techno-optimism. about social lego blocks we can’t stop playing with. the past weeks and months have been hard. it felt like i wasn’t the only one who lost that energy. a lot of my friends did too. and now they’re back. back in summer 2025 we made that bet: taking the risk and proposing rome as the place for the next farcon. i was excited and afraid at the same time. excited because i’d get to bring my internet friends to my hometown. afraid because i knew it was going to be hard. still, we started envisioning it. working on the website, tickets, venue. slowly putting the pieces together. at some point, for reasons beyond our control, sentiment around farcaster went down and farcon felt the impact too. but we kept going. i won’t lie: over time i started losing conviction. i started asking myself what the point was. i stopped casting about it. i kind of stopped casting at all. yesterday’s news felt like a breath of fresh air. a reset. a new beginning. builders are finally back at the center of the stage. the reason why i proposed myself (and @urbe-eth) for farcon has always been simple: we’re builders at heart. we love hacking and experimenting. we don’t care about trading or speculating, we care about making things. the vision @rish shared yesterday is deeply aligned with what we’ve always wanted farcon to be: a place for makers to come together, strengthen their bonds, and keep experimenting, together. many of you asked if /farcon-rome is still happening. yes. it is. now more than ever, i want to set the stage for us to come together irl: to talk, argue, learn, grow, create and build like we’ve always done. in the next days i’ll share the concrete plan. you can expect real builder energy. expect a hackathon. expect showcases. expect spaces and activations that give a voice to everyone contributing to farcaster: builders, creators, makers, founders and communities. see you in rome 🫡 https://farcon.eu
