Farcaster, what big bets about the future are you making today?
That onchain is the new online.
Blockchains will be more relevant in the future than they are now.
Building atop protocols rather than platforms leads to better & more novel experiences
Me: the convergence of on-chain digital identity, decentealized communities and the gig economy is going to revolutionize the post-modern concept of work.
Web3 will become user friendly and users will eventually understand the lack of ownership issues with Web2. When that happens Farcasters will be way ahead of the shift.
That we will not be talking anymore about web3 because it has become a new stack where we build solutions for people. Basically like nowadays happens with emails. No one talks anymore about pop3 IMAP or smtp
1 - The coming swath of ai vfx tools will reduce cost of producing historical fiction and science fiction movies by atleast 10x, opening the flood gates for a new generation of independent film makers. 2 - I’m going to drink at least one beer tonight.

That climate change tech is going to be important AF That there’s a chance the us regresses in a big way That social security will be a joke by the time I’m old enough That technology is going to continue being a human obsession and Changemaker

social/internet is an MMORPG and so building out player representation in novel ways is most significant
25th stock exchange is likely to be built on crypto rails. Because transactions that aren’t cryptographically signed by only the relevant parties will be considered untrustworthy in due time.
Boundaryless careers and fractional work (that pays well) are becoming the norm
Decentralized society will be the way we live life and non-US living (still figuring this one out).
that we're only a few marketplaces from meeting the hype in autonomous agents, robotics, and culture.
Bullish - Decentralization, not centralization - HW, not SW - cryptographic proofs, not trust me bro - longterm vision, not short term profits - ownership, not debt - creating, not consuming - barbell strategies, not midwit strategies
That mortgage rates will come down in the near future lol (Buying house)
Ethereum will become the global settlement layer, and everything will be settled through rollups and other scaling solutions on Ethereum therefore $ETH will become the real estate of new economy and be more in demand and a better investment than the global property market.
