I don't fully understand what I'm looking at when I open the search page and wallet. This isn't a criticism of the team's recent updates - just a public confession of my ignorance to all of you who seem to swim through all of this like fish in water. I mostly ignore tokens here - not out of cynicism, but confusion. When I click on token pages, even popular ones like $DEGEN, I struggle to understand what the project actually is. (The bottom of the $DEGEN page says "No casts about this token yet.") After a few months on Farcaster, I feel I'm missing out on an interesting way to support interesting projects - beyond donating via Crowdfund. The terms I'm seeing blend together in my eyes: "app coins, "memecoins", "creator coins", "streamer coins" and things just called "coins." Plus "scam coins" flagged by the community. This cast is not a request for trading tips. I'm looking for your personal perspectives or reading recommendations to understand what drives this activity everyone seems so fluent in and what makes Farcaster a special place to do it. What motivates you to buy tokens here? I'm having a boomer moment and want to overcome it. Thank you.

I decided right from the start that I won’t use this app for trading. Not mixing business with pleasure kind of a thing … though I do have to admit that I feel the same way regarding the coin infrastructure here I feel that there are better ways of supporting creators than through buying their coins Also do not like the fact that my trade history would be made public here …

Thanks for sharing. All understandable points! I don’t trade coins at all - just holding long term. So this is all pretty foreign to me. I’m observing my own mental blocks to learning about it, which makes me more curious. There seem to be many passionate subcommunities here around coins.
