Farcaster

Being in crypto long enough there's good reason to doubt the idea of casts as Collectibles.

It's been attempted several times but always by third parties, thus no true provenance, thus ripe for cringe moments like the attached image.

Farcaster officially deploying the collectibles makes a big difference.

Are we equating this to collecting newspapers? Like front page headlines. (From collector side) 

My main issue is my ‘why’ is murky. 

Not the then. Now.

People collect for different reasons!

Most sought after would likely be culturally significant casts like Dan's mole photo, "wowow", and a small handful of others.

Some casts might be art themselves, namely text art.

Others might just be to show support.
