In the period following the launch of $DEGEN and the peak of frames, a narrative briefly took hold — also pushed by Moxie — that the next generation of creators and influencers would emerge from FC itself.
That narrative matters, and I think we need to bring it back.
It matters because it frames FC/TBA not only as distribution rails, but as environments capable of producing their own cultural and economic actors.
There is a recurring temptation to believe that importing Web2 creators is a significant growth lever. To some extent, this works — but primarily as a source for content diversity.
If FC and TBA are to compound as social systems, they must be places where creators are actually forged and can make a living. Their success becomes social proof that no manifesto can replace.

Bosque Gracias has become a key node in Argentina’s web3 artistic network. It’s painful to say that the residency is now gone

Días más que complejos para Sudamérica
No puedo evitar pensar que esta situación ha sido en gran parte causada por el egoísmo y los intereses propios de las y los "líderes" de nuestra región que han permitido que el régimen chavista continue
Moloch esta vez ganó
