“farcaster growth is being held back because coinbase sponsored a military parade” was not a take I had on my bingo card for 2025 yet here we are

I know CB wants to look good for the current administration, but that was poor form and a disgusting waste of money, all around. To see a company that I respect, support the parade, was a letdown honestly. ￼

valid point of view, pretty much nothing to do with farcaster however

yes, but this is only common knowledge for those in the industry. has pretty much no relevance to onboarding “normies.”

A lot of people who aren’t on Farcaster associate Farcaster with Base and Coinbase 

Doesn’t mean it’s right, but perception is reality

true, not directly. It’s no secret that Base and ultimately Coinbase is a large part of the ecosystem, however
