10. Blockchain Enthusiasm
Jeremy Allaire expressed bullish sentiments about crypto's future, discussing blockchain infrastructure evolving into its third generation.
1/ Deeper Dive into my Long Form Post/Cast on why I’m more bullish than I have ever been about crypto. https://x.com/jerallaire/status/1803432989113593890 “Public blockchain infrastructure has evolved into its 3rd generation, providing global scale network computers that can handle large scale applications with trusted data, transactions and compute.” My mental model for blockchain networks has always been network operating systems. This is one of the most important things to help people understand what’s happening with this new infrastructure layer on the internet. The way that most “important people” (e.g. MSM, policymakers, people running big financial institutions) filter the concept of “blockchain” is typically hyper narrow – it’s a technology for “cryptocurrency”, which is “mostly bad and useless”, and even as a technology its never been proven to be useful for anything other than constructing online casinos and proliferating scams. https://x.com/jerallaire/status/1803432989113593890

Hey /powermonday One of the best ways to get deeper into the FC ecosystem is to try out different FC-native tools and services. I recommend checking out @bountycaster. You can post bounties (work), jobs, services, etc. and pay in crypto (or even degen tips!) I'm not on the team. I've just found it super fun. If you need help and have a good idea... I'd be happy to sponsor a 2000 degen bounty for you if we can work out. Comment and let me know what you have in mind.
13. Community Streaks

Great piece on streaks. We’ve had them on /bunches for a while and it’s a game changer. We also treat users who hit a 90-day streak as all-stars. They’re in a dedicated community (we call it Club 90) with me. It’s WILDLY valuable to have your app’s power users in a single place for product feedback & ideas. https://warpcast.com/fredwilson.eth/0x9681d038
