I joined Farcaster when it was still small, somewhat randomly, somewhat because I had been following the previous RSS+ vision a bit. When I joined I was struck by the level of discourse and quality of builders building thing. That builder energy hooked me right away and is still true today. See Frames.

When we started Purple there were very few, if any "companies" building on FC and none with venture capital, yet there was tons of people building cool things. The inspiration for Purple was simply, lets come together and support as this building that is happening and reward peopel building with no expecation of return

We want to be a tool to help organizations coordinate and make decisions. This ranges from fully decentralized orgs to more traditional orgs that are using a token as a form of coordination. Our long term vision is to support the future of work.

I love the Group DMs and think its now maybe my #1 mode of using Warpcast. I pop into a few channels throughout the day, scroll the feed just a little but check my DM's a lot. What differentiates it from other DM systems are the people on it. My DMs are open here because the environment is filled with great people.

I'm generally excited about the future of the creator economy just from watching the people putting in the work. Watching people like @lght.eth and @nounishprof and @adrienne and @0xen who have all been grinding through the bull but also have been rewarded for it.

I honestly LOVE this space and my work. I love the way what I'm building professionally so deeply ties into my outside participating in DAOs. I'm knee deep in trying to help build the coordination layer of the Internet and I love it. I love the people I get to collaborate with on both sides.

All praises to the WC team for prioritizing a great product over theoretical crypto but ultimately its the people. The way it was initially and thoughtfully built out by @dwr.eth has set a culture and quality that still exists today, now that WC is permissionless. Without the great people WC is just a cool toy.

Tortillas, Chorizo, Quesos, Frijoles... but also vibes, strong family values, prioritizing friendships, great people and lots of smiles.

My wife is my ultimate Muse. She was the first one to really appreciate my art and to encourage me to put in the time. To a similar but lesser extend than I had a daughter, so #girldad thing helps with feminine energy. 1/

Adam Dare. https://www.discoveroutloud.com/adam-dare-street-artist/ Adam is a graffiti & street artists who took me under his wing and showed me how to get up and how to work in the studio and how to move in the nyc art space. I'm forever grateful to him.

This is a hard one because I do think there is a lot of investing happening on big problems and it just requires some patience. Some of my favs are wallets, paymasters, protodank sharding but also full danksharding, zksync, etc.

lol I don't know if this is because I'm an Italian American from NYC but I have strong opinions on this. Goodfellas but there are so many good ones and plain cheese pizza but peperoni is the only other acceptable option.

I'd love for someone to really really nail MusicCaster. A special purpose music client seems like such a no-brainer and potentially the future of music fandom.

Drop the skuemorphic ideas of the gallery world. Don't think that the price "sets a value on your art". 1/1's and editions are artificial scarcity. The goal is not to have a handful of wealthy art collectors like in fine art, its to have hundreds of thousands of collectors on the internet who each give you $1.
