Here's the tension with $PRO that nobody's talking about

People (myself included) want upside in Farcaster's success.

Merkle (rightfully so) controls the Farcaster app roadmap.

Our only true leverage is the traction that $PRO (or any other lever) brings to the network. 

So, it's really up to us. Are we doing this?

Just saw this post from @kompreni for the first time last night. It's four days old which seems like ages ago.

I'm still really excited about the [admittedly minimal] initial vision laid out in the $PRO launch post. 

The challenge I'm working on now is tying the token to true economic leverage.

Governance without anything to govern is meaningless

I can't help but think of $DEGEN - there was a very real missed opportunity to integrate it more deeply into the app. 

BUT - we have embedded wallets and mini-apps now so we may not need anything deeper.

Agree that economic leverage is a huge challenge / opportunity. Plz share more about it I wanna help!

would love to hear more about where you think degen could have made different decisions

i'm currently deeeeep in this mini app
