Last night, I began analyzing the Farcaster Pro data (basescan API + Neynar to retrieve user information using the wallet address). Found some interesting insights.

Then maybe

I'm sure @geoffgolberg will run some analysis I don't understand to draw some conclusions I don't understand but agree with at some point :)
