worthwhile read on Jay Gruber and Bluesky that highlights much of my own personal "why" behind building decentralized social.

incredibly encouraging to see mainstream media receptive to the idea of returning control of identity, content, and community back to users even if it isn't about Farcaster (yet!).

Most normal people don’t want financialization of everything and for them, there is BlueSky. The only thing stopping them is the shitlib image

The Farcaster formerly known as Kchamp. Books, beats, bodybuilding, bright ideas and beautiful things.

notes from a rare “web2 to crypto” talk with @imran and bobby of dupe.com

TLDR he saw @nikitabier (one of their advisors) talk about Believe app, thought oh must be another Nikita growth hack let me try it out

$dupe hits $6M market cap

immediately talks to lawyers

“then i started paying attention to possibilities because of enthusiasm from crypto; we saw a few paths where a web2 company with PMF can enter crypto in the right way. it would be dif if we were a day zero product. 

what I’m mostly excited about is:

1) bringing our MAUs into crypto with seamless UX to incentivize meaningfully daily or weekly actions that we care about with tokens

2) we don’t currently curate best products or dupes, but using tokens as commission for curation is an exciting way to level up our homepage and end user experience

3) obviously cross border commerce gets unlocked, etc.”

for founders outside of crypto, use tokens as a way to incentivize people to come and use the product in meaningful ways

this is also encouraging. if more founders hit semblance of PMF pre-token, it feels much less like financialization and more like every other app or business that has rewards (most).
