toffix on Farcaster

fc coins getting rekt as daus dwindle & ct dances around a tba tombstone base pushed zora way too aggressively, integrating a mid-7th pivot platform into an $80b pubco app release at the most fundamental level of usage with zero validation & against a wall of external & thoughtful criticism… it’s unheard of as a result, the two have become inseparable & “base app” has now lost its brand name, barely a year in — but users this & that, see: world fc chose to build against its core tam for over two years & destroyed its public perception in the process; now a token is the only way out base learned nothing from farcasters shortcomings & chose to push creator coins from the very top; now a token is the only way out no one asked farcaster nor base to CREATE net-new creators; this is crypto the long-term sustainability of tba & certainly now fc given the wallet upgrades does NOT depend on net-new creators this is crypto; we’re building crypto apps it doesn’t have to be like this, ya know all both of y’all had to do was build for the devs… they will literally do your job for you; all you need to do is listen & support them

You know, Base has long been a comfortable place for developers, and even more so for ordinary users. I would say that Base has completely outperformed Solana. Remember where Base started: a regular L2 for scaling Ethereum, but now it's something even bigger than Solana. Years go by, and the best way to distribute and promote further is through tokens. This is inevitable for Base and Farcaster because it will always be your backup plan to save the day. Unfortunately, Farcaster held on to its peak values for just over half a year, and the rest of the time we have been stagnating across all metrics. Yes, we now have mini-apps, but with all due respect to them, we have a few that we can really use, and even some of those are held together by 1-2 founders who devote every day of their lives to them. Yes, we got a breakthrough with Noice, but all the other mini-apps are designed to try to monetise people's views, likes and reposts. And I think it's no secret that we've reached an impasse. We don't have anything new and large-scale coming up except for minor changes to the algorithm that actually further worsen the "user experience" So in the case of Farcaster, we really need a token to dilute the situation.
