it's going to be hilarious in a few years to look back and remember that we called microscopic payouts from max extracting ad platforms the "creator economy"

getting a ton of attention before you're ready for it is a great way to make sure you don't get a ton of attention when you are ready for it

- the infrastructure cycle is over - all leverage comes from owning the consumer relationship - transaction fees are a new killer business model for the internet - bringing users on a wealth creation journey will be table stakes consumer crypto

seeing more consumer crypto products keep speculation and crypto mechanics out of the casual user experience and core value prop, but leverage it for the power user / power believer experience few examples... @focustree_app (on twitter) is a productivity product where you earn tiles for completing focus sessions that you use to build a personal digital garden. the rare pieces are nfts but you don't need to know that or care unless you want to trade / speculate on them. they're going viral on tiktok with no mention of the financial benefits of the product. @pumppartyapp (on twitter) is a live gameshow platform where you compete in mini games to win prize pools (think a modern hqtrivia). they're focused on making the casual game inherently fun, cultural, and entertaining, while building more degenerate crypto-based game modes for people that want it. think it's a good recipe for projects with mass market ambitions

what gets funded is what gets built and what gets built defines our internet experience and most investors are determined to give us an internet of endless saas products and empty blockchains couldn't be us

one of the big open challenges in consumer crypto right now is figuring out how to use to tokens to reward participation and distribute ownership to people creating value without entering into a transactional relationship with them i have complete conviction that having skin in the game can strengthen belief and improve internet experiences, but only if we figure out how to structure distribution models in a way that makes earning secondary to the emotional benefits of participating people showing up primarily to make money will always result in low effort participation, shitty communities, and horrible retention

fwiw the zora economic model feels mostly right to me, they just need to figure out how to scale the network more non-crypto friends, more recognizable mainstream personalities, real possibility of going viral basically i think instagram with zora's mechanism would go crazy

the simplest bull case for farcaster is that we’ll need an app-native feed as software becomes content, vibecoding becomes the new posting, and the number of applications being released 1000x's

so you're telling me that applications are going to capture way more attention, generate more revenue, and be way stronger sources of belief than infra and they'll also be able to vertically integrate and consume infra as it makes economic sense to do so yet there are no application tokens in the top 30? cool, definitely not gonna change

should be very obvious at this point how inefficient traditional business models are at capturing social / cultural value and how exponentially better tokens are at it
