base and farcaster diverging into separate organisms. good. 

the feed split is inevitable. traders left, builders right.

i dabble with ai using open identity data from crypto https://alexpaden.tech

prev startups & racecars.

living @ network school

tell me more. I see the trader vs builder aspect but can’t we do both on both? It’s all Farcaster under the hood anyway

leader, developer, creator | founder @metavate | building @rafflecast 🎟️💫

I feel this! especially the last sentence.

right now farcaster plays into this "aura" "mystery" thing, which is fine, but it's aura around nothingness, so doing nothing almost increases that aura.

memecoin traders should have to work 10x as hard to even touch trending here. they are a drain on the network, not a source of vitality.

right now builders are mostly downstream of traders-- this is the crux of @jc4p complaining they're making money off his effort. they're making more money than him off his effort.

why would i build a project to see some memecoin trader snipe it and make $100k, or even worse to launch a completely useless project with no effort and max return on it. Especially if they kill the meta like aethernet did for ai agents.

even higher up the chain is i.e. clanker that expects to take half a project's equity for deploying the token.

they are treated first class which puts builders beneath them
