GM! We were having a quiet week and then bam! Jesse Pollak posted on X (yeah he didn't even bother also casting) a post mortem on the Base App and took some accountability for the mistakes made. BUT in doing so, he had what we thought were misdirected blame on Farcaster and social in general. So yeah, we had feelings about that. We love you Jesse but social wasn't the problem; creator/content coins via Zora were! We are now considering a name change to GM Collateral Damage. See that episode and our less exciting one from Monday below.
Meanwhile, frankly Farcaster and Clanker are cooking! Lots of new features have and are launching including Robinhood chain on Clanker and in the wallet and a new FIP for putting channels onchain. See our news segments in both episodes to catch up. Plus we're always highlighted builders in the ecosystem and they've also been cookin!
