here's the TLDR of why phase 2 is paid:
> mini app features (gallery, friends minting, find my twin) all require significant Neynar usage.
> team is shipping a lot of cool post-mint experiments we've already started working on
> a decent warchest could really help put money where our mouth is when it comes to supporting our mini app devs, creators and other protardio members.
> interns (like me) need salaries
> liquidity flowing into the protardio makes secondary move with higher volume which makes trading protardios more fun
> targeted at non-farcaster natives, CT and base so price is a way of gatekeeping this culture of sexiness we've built.
personally i hope most of phase 2 is minted by phase 1 participants that truly believe in us and further gatekeep from those who seek to list these sexy pfps below 0.001
