they also hop into VCs and study together, sometimes turning on the camera so they feel like they’re “present” and connected with one another. :’) such zoomschool tings. ironically, zoomers prefer discord to zoom for easier screen sharing and less laggy video chats

one of my favorite features of @orb_club is the ability to directly: 1) make posts collectible AND 2) set the referral fee on each post so that those who “repost” it earn x% of that fee. as seen here, I am able to set this post for 1000 $bonsai and share 80% of that directly

spending more time on @orb_club within the @lensprotocol ecosystem. seeing $bonsai as the $degen & warps equivalent within lens. folks are directly minting collectible posts and content with $bonsai. excited to see what other lens-dapps integrate it.

The future of (web3) work is inevitably changing. Recent trends such as the explosion of freelance work (esp among younger generations), demand for crypto-native talent, and the introduction of DAOs have led to individuals seeking different forms of "work."👩‍💼💻

so much @cryptothegame_ fomo this szn. given that players mint NFTs that can be sold/transferred at any point, i'm curious to see how the market for player NFTs evolves. currently, the floor price is 0.121 eth, just slightly higher than what it was originally. as certain

the why for consumer crypto is becoming even more clear. the 10x UX improvement (from web wallets, emerging social graphs, and widespread adoption of passkeys) is the how. why build consumer on crypto rails? 👥 it's the ability to log in with a social profile that is innately

Web wallets (what Wilson calls a smart wallet here) don't exist yet outside of testnet. They have no downloadable app, don't require social login, and are powered by passkeys. They are a new thing that will change everything.

Everyone is building a wallet💸 This is because the wallet is emerging as the home base for how consumers will interact in this new web3 paradigm. Whether it be showcasing NFTs, participating in DAOs, voting on proposals, chatting w others… everything will be tied to your wallet

not an unpopular opinion at all. tokenized fandoms are some of the best communities where crypto can be used to supercharge engagement. i think they are also one of the earliest signs of product market fit in consumer crypto. the tribal nature and cohesive identity brings…

a few other things i'd love to see in my wallet (leveraging farcaster): - comment on recent txns that my FC friends made (e.g. in a venmo-like feed) - show FC friends that have aped into the same memecoins + NFTs as you - recommend new dapps that my friends have recently…

If I was a wallet PM, I would’t integrate Farcaster as a cast feed. Instead, I'd use it to improve UX/retention: - autopopulate friends as potential payment recipients. - show which friends also did this txn on txn signing tray. - show recommended txns based on what friends did.

this means, the next disruptive social app won’t just been a clone of a web2 app, but rather a tool / feature that solves a very real problem for users today. the ecosystem around the social app will be just as important as the app itself.

If you're building anything in consumer crypto, I strongly suggest you look at leveraging Farcaster Frames. Frame ideas I suspect we'll see: - @opensea buy, offer - $DEGEN trading bots - @paragraph_xyz subscribe, collect - @onceupongg view, wallet, contract, pin
