Curious to have your thoughts on this: is consumer crypto... 1) Consumer-like applications (e-commerce, social media, SaaS, etc) with onchain implementations, targeted at crypto native audiences. 2) Or applications for mass consumption, with a few crypto enabled functionality, sometimes even under the hood?

This is actually a pretty good framing for product development if you want to build a consumer app with crypto/onchain footprint. 💡

I think that a little less focus on "crypto" & "on-chain" would make farcaster the top choice for any kind of founder. The support and excitement around builders is undeniable, but it feels that if you're not actively building onchain you are implicitly being left out.

I'm giving it a try after EthCC, but after a few days not sure what to feel to be honest. I really like some of its concepts, i think channels are a great thing to start proper discussions and conversations... But so far i haven't really got any kind of real engagement back, and I've been trying to be actively engaging in discussions and convos. It kinda feels like interactions aren't really deep. Just engagement or reward farming... It feels a bit weird...

To build a proper consumer app in crypto you have to really think long term. That essentially means: - build a product people want to use first. - gain traction without a token. The core incentive to use should be the product, not a token. And only after that you can also understand proper mechanics to develop a tokenized incentive system to 10x or 100x that, building a stronger and positive cycle of growth. Most crypto VCs are not interested in this. It takes too much time, and it's not narrative based.
