This is the year Farcaster goes ultra-mainstream and regular people (e.g. my mom) start using it. 

Why? Because a new app/product will figure out how to leverage the existing social graph to quickly launch, scale, and monetize in a few weeks. AI will shorten the iteration cycle, and it'll amplify everything. 

And, perhaps, because a specific topic will find a home here that doesn't have a home somewhere else. Maybe a specific fan club or a corner of tech. Who knows - maybe the next watering hole for politics that can't be censored like other platforms.

I think farcaster is forever a product for nerds

the product it most closely resembles is twitter, which is also a product for nerds

Good take

Short text social has never really been mainstream. Twitter has never been close to 1b MAU which would still be small compared to the scale that Facebook and Instagram is operating at

and it doesn’t have to be mainstream because it’s the preferred network of elites in tech, politics, etc

it’s a platform for ideas, memes, etc with outsized influence

in that way, a lot similarity to how crypto isn’t mainstream but has outsized influence
