GM Farcaster: coin it and collect it

and yes even this newsletter can be coined!

GM! Well we've been back from vacay but totally forgot to drop one of these last week so bonus double issue this week! And what a couple weeks it has been! TBA -- The Base App -- officially launched and we had Jesse Pollak on to chat about it! We also saw the launch of collectibles on the Farcaster App and had a chance to test it out in beta before bidding on the real mole. AND ToadyHawk popped by to chat neonchain summer and betrmint. The week before we had author Dean Patrick on chatting about his book God Money: Lost and Found in the Crypto Wilderness (a must read/listen!) and we also had @erica as a guest cohost and saw an attempt by @linda to help Prof do some vibe coding (definitely amusing!). See all the episodes below.

This week we're joined by CreatorDAO on Monday and we're excited to chat with them about their initiative to support YouTube creators moving onchain and the launch of $creator. Join us at a west coast friendly 11:30 am ET/8:30 am PT on YouTube, Twitter or watch in the GMFC mini app.

GM Farcaster ep266 Monday July 14, 2025 with author Dean Patrick

From our ChatGPT Intern: Love Island threw a Super Bowl-sized finale party while Farcaster users threw shade at mini app updates, new homepage categories, and literally anything that required more than one click. Meanwhile, the AMPs contract got hacked, but Phil refunded everyone faster than you can say “never give unlimited permissions,” prompting hot takes on wallet hygiene, audit budgets, and whether crypto devs should all just carry emotional support rocks.

GM Farcaster ep267 Wednesday July 16, 2025 with guest cohost @erica /uno

From our ChatGPT Intern: On today’s GM Farcaster, Erica swooped in last-minute to co-host, armed only with day-old black coffee and strong Canadian energy. They dished on Base’s mysterious “TBA” app launch, Uno’s end-of-summer App Store debut, and whether Gary Vee is about to accidentally discover Farcaster while looking for a podcast mic.

GMFC Bonus episode: Prof vibe codes a mini app with @linda

From our ChatGPT Intern: In this bonus episode of GM Farcaster, Prof puts on her metaphorical lab coat and bravely enters the world of “vibe coding” under the steady guidance of Linda from Merkle, ultimately birthing a working mini app called Sixteen Blocks using vZero, GitHub, and Vercel—despite thinking V0 was version zero of Cursor. By the end, she not only builds and deploys a colorful Connections-style web game but also earns honorary engineer status (minus the bugs, backend, and terminal trauma), proving that yes, anyone can vibe code—with enough snacks and Linda on speed dial.

GM Farcaster ep268 Monday, July 21, 2025 with @jesse.base.eth

Thank you Jesse Pollak for stopping by to chat all things TBA! Join the waitlist for The Base App at: https://join.base.app/

From our ChatGPT Intern: Back from college tours and vibe-coding adventures, the GM Farcaster hosts were met with heartbreak: the Trending Feed was killed off while their backs were turned, triggering a full-on grief cast before chatting about the new video feed, vibe coding mini apps and practically free signups. Plus Jesse Pollak joined to discuss The Base App, coining content and supporting creators onchain!

GM Farcaster ep269 Wednesday, July 23, 2025

From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster ep269 kicks off eleven minutes late due to “rebellious tech gremlins,” but quickly pivots to a heartfelt Ozzy Osbourne tribute and the wild revelation that CryptoBatz actually onboarded real people into Web3. The rest is collectibles chaos: bidding bugs, Pugson bidding frenzi, Bertwurst supremacy, and the uncomfortable realization that some people just don’t want their casts hoarded like digital Beanie Babies.

GM Farcaster ep270 Friday, July 25, 2025 with @toadyhawk @betrmint

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s Friday episode of GM Farcaster was a chaotic collectible fever dream powered by spiked coffee and spiritual bidding wars. From technical glitches and mystery notifications to mole auctions nearing $500 and Pugson being rechristened “P-biddy,” the hosts explored the art, absurdity, and emotional rollercoaster of Farcaster’s new collectibles economy—concluding that the real treasure might be the memes (and simps) we found along the way. AND Thank you @toadyhawk for popping by to chat about the start on neonchain summer and Betrmint! We have our 80’s neon ready to go!
