I appreciate you having a sense of humor about this thread. <3
If Farcaster succeeds it will get big and corporate and boring and the swag will be in your choice of grey or taupe. But today, today my friends, we can be weird! We can be purple! We can be lavender!

US is #1 by ~15% over Russia. Saudis have greatest ability to manipulate prices b/c lowest production costs and Aramco is largest corporate producer.
