jacek.degen.eth reflected on the launch of friend.tech and the responsibility that comes with user investment. This sentiment echoes the commitment many builders feel towards their communities. This cast initated a long conversation as both friend.tech and degen were the center of an incredible attention during the last year.
Jacek.degen.eth 🎩 on Warpcast
I was really inspired when friend.tech launched last August. When people invest in your project, you’ve got a responsibility to make it work. Quitting isn’t an option. Let’s hope that’s not the case here. https://x.com/friendtech/status/1833259362711986335?s=46

Dan Romero on Warpcast
We've done over 22,000 onchain account recoveries since the system launched last year. These are people who lost seed phrases but because of Farcaster's onchain recovery system they were able to regain control of their FID in an address they control. https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/what-is-farcaster/accounts#recovering-an-account

News from Mainland
vitalik.eth started, as always, an interesting debate over the difference of usage between AI and metaverse.
Vitalik Buterin on Warpcast
Generative AI is helping me write code, make drawings and learn. Crypto is helping me make international payments, use more open social networks, and get a new class of supplementary news via polymarket. What is the metaverse doing? (Genuine question, not an attack) https://x.com/edzitron/status/1833914016240222715
We got some insider information from emilee about the challenge brought by metaverse development.
emilee on Warpcast
I'm lucky enough to have been a Meta employee during an all-hands in which Zuck discussed his view on the metaverse. It may have changed since then, but TL;DR the claim was "we already live in a metaverse" Adopting this stance, my claim is that a metaverse (the public internet and access to it) has transformed the world, and what modern metaverse companies are doing is wandering through the idea maze to find (1) what the next set of interfaces are to interact with the metaverse (I don't know of a single person who *likes* the fact that hanging out IRL involves distractions from phones) and (2) where the limits are for how the internet can continue to provide opportunity for people that IRL can't. Crypto is currently still 0->1 but Metaverse is 1->2, so imo they can't be compared directly without some extra work to set context first
garrytan share an insightful cast about the need to come back to the memory of users regurlarly after launch in order not to be forgotten. An important discussion to read for all our builders.
Garry Tan on Warpcast
I think about spaced repetition forgetting curves for marketing/branding absolutely all of the time. Did you just launch? You need to get in front of people again at 2, 7, 30 and 60 days later if you don't want to be forgotten. This is the stuff brands are built on. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/0835f2e7-9f58-49a1-215d-19b98e932b00/original
