Jesse: 'imo we made the right bet on builders, but obviously the wrong bet on social.'
'in fact, the entire social side of the market that many of us had been building towards - farcaster, zora, miniapps, and yes, creator coins - disintegrated completely.'

gm ... 2 games left in the World Cup and The Lobby has $100 on the line!
I have Spain over Argentina in the final, so if I get the last 2 games right, I take 1st place....but I have @temitopeohassan.eth right behind and @yerbearserker loaded for bear and bearing down on me (see what I did there??)
Thanks @burr.eth & @plantsnft for adding some more fun to the World Cup! ⚽

29 Seconds of Farcaster ... What did you miss this weekend?
\* There is an FIP to put channels on the protocol and a lot of feedback and chatter on the topic: https://farcaster.xyz/farcaster/0xb03600f7 & https://farcaster.xyz/topocount.eth/0xd3c50c3c
\* The discussion also produced an interesting google doc on channel data: https://farcaster.xyz/farcaster/0x928ed4c3
\* We got an interesting explanation of the FC algo for casts from neynar in a chat with @anemale.eth : https://farcaster.xyz/neynar/0x7be6b896
\* @arjantupan created a POIDH bounty to promote @sopha that @kenny used one of his /cef grant $25 activation boosts, and the bounty is getting some cool entries requiring a poem about a cast people found on sopha: https://farcaster.xyz/arjantupan/0x368e2c26
\* /gmfarcaster is back at 11:30 AM EST today with @nounishprof & @adrienne bringing the FC and clanker news and any purple shenanigans they see fit to provide 💜

gm from a long-time @betrmint believer and supporter and now @betrmint winning 'artist.'
This would not have been on my bingo card a few months ago, but the tools allowed me to put a creative idea into practice and have fun doing it.
I've been telling @chriscocreated for 3 years, 'I'm not an artist' and he always corrects me. Guess he was right. 🤷♂️
Thanks to all who made this contest possible, and congrats to all winners...fun to be among you this time!

\* World Cup Fever ⚽ has hit the timeline thanks to the /football channel w/ @kmacb.eth leading the way as game logger & fans from all over the world chipping in--my favorite is that we have @carlos from Cabo Verde who almost pulled off the greatest upset in WC history!
\* @afrochicks was featured in Athletics Weekly & talked about many things, including funding her journey with crypto--still one of the more notable stories we have here on FC: https://farcaster.xyz/afrochicks/0x100b08d2
\* /gmfarcaster is back after a week off to bring all the news & probably some pent-up shenanigans, so join @nounishprof & @adrienne at 11:30 AM EST, and I might block off just a few more than 29 minutes after the break 🤷♂️

This is Farcaster.
I really wanted to be at Farcaster Rome, but couldn't. So @arjantupan got some postcards ready and had 15 of the 37 sign a greeting to me and sent them across the pond from Paris. It took weeks, but a couple of days ago I opened it, and my heart was full with friendship from 17 people, most of whom I've never met.
Thank you arjan and these 15 others for doing something intentional in a fast-paced world and being part of a memory I won't forget:

I suspect the popular story of blockchain/web 3 likely won't include @betrmint , but it should.
In these early days, when so much was talked about and promised...but not delivered... @betrmint delivers every day. $80,000 to creators & artists, $75,000 to the community that supports them. Think about that.
And the last few months have amplified this even more. In the depths of the bear, @betrmint seems unfazed. I'm sure it's not, but we could never tell.
Not to mention, name me a BETR 3-person team than @toadyhawk.eth @netnose & @burr.eth ... yes, I'll wait.
I got connected to @toadyhawk.eth early in the days of Nouns. There is a lot of talk of Nouns dying, but nounish lives...and some might even say it's even BETR.
Cheers team! Notable. Happy 1st BDay! 🎉 🥳 🎈

I believe I should be the lone judge on American Idol.
And America should not vote. I should decree the results.
This would greatly mitigate the ridiculous results that can happen, as last night a would-be-finalist was sent home and a few karaoke singers remained.

I've noticed something in keeping up with both sides of the fork talk, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one...
To me, it often reads more like the fork is happening from Facebook than Farcaster.
What I mean is: If you scrubbed the details & names, my impression is that it's about decentralization vs. centralization, it's about doing things for the people vs. doing things for power, and sometimes it even feels like it's the good guys vs the bad guys.
That doesn't pass the sniff test for me. I think both sides want decentralization and want to disrupt the old way of doing things, but they have different ways of going about it and getting there. I don't love this impression I get from keeping up with the discussion from a wide range of posts I've read. Anyone else?
I don't think we can change it at this point. But I think we should be very aware of it. Don't let the narrative distort your thinking about this amazing place we share and are building.

\* Scheduling Note: @rish will be on /gmfarcaster today around 12 NOON EST to talk SNAPS, and all things Farcaster
\* How about some fun, under-the-radar builds from the weekend? @anaroth bult the Farcaster Movie Index that folks seemed to enjoy https://farcaster.xyz/anaroth/0xe0a13674 | and @bfg shared Casts Vault which allows you search, tag, & organize bookmarked casts https://farcaster.xyz/bfg/0x0a649bf0 | Also @arjantupan created a Daily Spark mini app for a creative prompt a day https://farcaster.xyz/arjantupan/0x6cb4d10f ... it's fun to see less heralded builders create mini apps for themselves that others can use and enjoy s/o @neynar studio for making it possible

SNAP Ideas to Build...
\* Gather feedback for your project--ask good questions about UI, ease of understanding, what they don't understand or like, where your project fits in importance on FC use
\* Tell your story about your project or what you are building--talk like people don't know you or FC or web3...introduce what you are about, what problem you are solving, why people should care, what you are helping people do and how
\* Have people rate in importance what activities they do on FC daily or weekly and get a FC wide reading
\* Ask people what's missing from FC and what's needed...give some categories new people, more great projects, etc and have them rate them
\* Create a template that people can put in their 'top 3' something of the day and make it easy for people to use...top 3 casts of the day, top 3 highlights of the day (like for Bert)
(If I think of more, I'll put them below or QC) Feel free to add your ideas below...

I heard this week that great men aren't introspective (I think from a popular a16z interview maybe?). But I'm wondering if it's OK if I introspect occasionally, without being introspective?
I've heard the word introspective and used it many, many times in my life, but I've never used or read the word introspect until tonight from @word-a-day mini app.
I mean you can correct without being corrective. You can suggest without being suggestive. So, I'm thinking I'm good to go to introspect without being introspective and therefore...still have a shot at being a great man. 🤷♂️

Today is one of the greatest sports days of the year as March Madness begins. While many will passionately root for their favorite teams, I will spend the day ambivalent about who wins many of these games. To be clear, it's not that I don't care who wins; it's that I'm torn with reasons to want both teams to win.
On the one hand, the big underdogs pulling off an upset is one of the great moments in sports. A few years ago, we had the first 16 seed take down a number 1 seed. So often, a small school nobody's ever heard of beats one of the blue bloods. So that's great, and I want that to happen.
On the other hand, I have filled out multiple brackets and want to see my bracket do well. These upsets are 'bracket busters' and take down the teams that we have going to the Final 4.
So, I'm often torn in these games. I want the upsets, but I want my bracket to do well. But anyway, here's to the Madness 🍻 🏀

Not to disagree with the Queen of Farcaster and the builder of the @word-a-day mini app, but ... I don't think of Farcaster as an erudite place.
Farcasters are street smart. There is nothing academic about them. They are building and doing things. I don't know exactly where the erudite tech people hang out, but I think they are in my inbox. They are in newsletters listing 21 articles they are reading, pontificating on what will happen with AI, and predicting the next big tech idea.
I prefer my smarts in jeans and a hoodie.
Come to Farcaster, where smart people are building the next chapter of the internet and you are welcome to join in the fun.

I've noticed that the regular group of people playing @word-a-day are conscientious and diligent about how they play the game.
@jacy is telling meaningful stories about her life and always JUST before the deadline. @digitaldogg uses a gm cast at the same time every day with the day's word. I am using a particular style for all of my casts, and others have gotten into a rhythm and practice that they don't deviate from.
Beyond that we have Farcasters noting the part of speech, as well as paying careful attention to the definition so they use is correctly in a cast. Not to mention, needing to click the accept challenge button every day so that your cast counts.
Who knew that a mini app could create suggest a meticulous bunch of 'worders'--is that what we are calling them?

The Paralympics are a profound display of the power of the human spirit.
A completely blind person can ski the slalom. Players with no legs can play hockey on 'scooters' better than we could on skates. Humans with all kinds of disabilities can not only overcome them but also master a skill and achieve more than most of us combined.
Makes me think about what I battle and don't overcome in my cushy American life.
Makes me think about what we 'battle' here--red markets and projects closing--and we end up bickering and giving up instead of building something better in the next chapter.
Today, I'm reminded there's more power in the human spirit than we are displaying, thanks to some true athletes in Milan-Cortina.

The demise of projects and mini apps seems to be contagious and spreading throughout Farcaster like a cold through an elementary school.
Let's also recognize that there is pervasive surviving & thriving of apps that simply don't get a special announcement.

Many great TV comedies feature a character focused on minutiae and rules they think everyone should live by. They do this because it mirrors the characters in our lives.
\* Sheldon Cooper's (Big Bang Theory) rigid scheduling requirements or 50 page roommate agreement
\* Niles Crane (Frasier) with his refined etiquette and propensity to correct everyone's grammar
\* Cliff Claven (Cheers) with his far flung stories and inane trivia
Not to mention Monica Gellar (Friends) or Angela Martin (The Office) and many others...
Some of the greatest characters in TV history are the most pedantic and that's because it mirrors the people we live with every day ... or maybe even us!

It might be a bit of an obscure market for Polymarket, but there really should be a prediction market on how long it will take for me to recover & correctly use the bookmark action without hitting 'ask neynar' first.
I have a feeling I'm in the upper tier of using Farcaster bookmarks, and putting 'ask neynar' in the place of 'bookmark' is a big blow to my muscle memory. 😆 🤷♂️

Times have changed, and so has what saps our energy and weakens us for our duties...
Julius Caesar said, "Wine and other luxuries have a tendency to enervate the mind & make men less brave in battle", and Thoreau asked, "What is the nature of the luxury which enervates & destroys nations?
Now, binge-watching a reality show and too many TikTok videos enervate us and require calling in sick from a remote workday. 🤷♂️

I could be wrong but I don’t think Farcaster is forking.
I don’t think users have to make a choice.
Quorum is forking off the Farcaster protocol and the only people that need to do anything is those that so highly value ‘decentralization’ as defined by Cassie and Quorum. 🤷♂️
I could be wrong.
Seems like 97% of users will do nothing and it will feel like 50 good people left FC. 🤷♂️

Well, /gmfarcaster left us on our own...
\* @fruitlingvalley has taken things by storm since release a few days ago, with lots of action on the timeline this weekend and 200K transactions
\* @quotient has released its new social 'cozy corner' for being more effective on Polymarket predictions--leaderboard and rewards included
\* @afrochicks is tearing it up on X https://farcaster.xyz/afrochicks/0x4f1ddc66
\* @irynaliakh.eth continues to do a ton in Ukraine with smaller crypto donations...amazing work if you can help out https://farcaster.xyz/irynaliakh.eth/0x9ae57b52
\* It's ETHDenver week and if you are going @luciano is hosting an event on Wednesday https://farcaster.xyz/luciano/0x1435b1b7
\* @rish announced Dev calls are coming back starting 2/25/26; @sayangel has something cooking with 'proof of warp'; & @betrmint continues to dominate the weekends (and fun on the timeline) with $BETR Games with @burr.eth --you have a deadline today if you are playing!
Shoutout @nounishprof & @adrienne --enjoy your week, whatever you are doing, you've earned it and much more 💜

gm Farcaster 💜 ... welcome to a new, new day one that apparently is not for everyone.
I'm not mad. I'm unaffected, as are most of you. But I can't help but recoil at the quick trigger after all the vague slogans.
One of the many reasons 'Base is for ______' & 'If you create, you will be rewarded' etc., without substance, is not a good way to tell your story. Now your trustworthiness is in the dumpster.
We need to overhaul how we tell our story in this space.
Anyway, love live Farcaster. Long live Farcasters. 💜

29 Seconds of Farcaster ... What did you miss this weekend?
\* It was $QR 1 year anniversary with @jake sharing some lore & the first post about the project ... if you are new here, $QR is regularly the #1 mini app on FC, capturing attention for a 'link of the day' that wins the auction
\* $BETR continued to spread the fun with BETR with @burr.eth Super Bowl Squares and Super Bowl props. I haven't seen all the winners yet, but 70 Million $BETR is headed out AND the BETR with burr games are going to continue!
\* @tldr released a new $BRACKY feature where anyone can spin up a potential market in a tweet or cast--a clanker is launched and if it hits 60K, it becomes a live market on BRACKY. I believe 3 or 4 such markets for the Super Bowl made it live
\* @streetphoto created a Farcaster Feedback mini app with upvoting that @rish shared in approval making me think the team will be looking at the feedback https://farcaster.xyz/rish/0x66b37777
\* /gmfarcaster is off today as @nounishprof is on a cruise trying to onboard normie friends to FC and @adrienne is searching for new words for her mini app she's building, but they'll be back tomorrow with special guest @mleejr to talk $DRB on the Clankcaster Spotlight

29 Seconds of Farcaster ... What did you miss this weekend?
\* It was a slow weekend, but I would be remiss if I didn't say $butttaps was the top story for the second weekend in a row. BRACKY chose @drivenbyboredom as the 'Butt Oracle' to determine the veracity of possible butt taps in the 2 NFL games, despite @tldr wanting Vitalik. @deriniti was the 'butt tap queen' spotting them left and right. It was a slow weekend of butt taps, but 6 was the final tally--paying the 6-10 of the $BRACKY market.
\* For those now thinking 'we are not serious people,' it was interesting to see @fredwilson.eth not only excited about the Neynar acquisition but also release a mini app with Neynar App Studio that pulls music from the last 2500 casts of your followers
\* People are excited about clawdbot; And @schedly jumped onto the scene with a mini app release that lets you have multiple users, multiple accounts, and schedule content. Much interest in who the team is, and they said in a reply that we would learn today
\* @patriciaxlee.eth shared a great video & praise for the opening of the @nodefoundation in Palo Alto led by @phil | https://farcaster.xyz/patriciaxlee.eth/0x46037f01
\* /gmfarcaster is back today at 11:30 AM EST with special guest @db to talk Intori. Join @adrienne & @nounishprof for news and fun to get caught up on Farcaster 💜
