Farcaster

Why ship Farcaster Pro with just a badge? Why not wait until the other benefits are ready?

1. It’s optional. If you think that’s dumb, you can either wait to subscribe or just skip subscribing completely. 

2. For startups, every day you delay something matters. Every time you say “this thing is different and worth delaying” you degrade your one true advantage as a startup: speed. It compounds. And then a few years later when it ultimately doesn’t work out, you likely missed out on something like 100% more opportunities to ship. Action produces information. Your pre-product-market-fit startup is not Apple.

I don’t have any skin in this game, apart from being a happy Farcaster user. I’ve been reading the FC Pro info with interest, thinking it’s refreshing how honest and non-hype they are.

Crypto startups are still startups. Most won’t make it. Being serious about your mission, clear about your goals and caring about your users is gold. 

Yes, I’m considering a Pro membership just to support the work.
