I wrote about my time on Farcaster. I made real friends here, launched my podcast, attended that first Toronto Friday. Got genuine value.

Bless 🙏🏾 https://open.substack.com/pub/hellofrommarv/p/the-last-plane-out-of-farcaster?r=7momp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

If you're reading this and are a part of the Breadfam, pat yourself on the back because you outdid yourself over the last year. We've grown the treasury by an absolutely massive amount - that's almost a 14x gain in crypto we can mobilise for good. Kudos team, you're incredible 🍞🚀
