Farcaster as a "Network Space" Critics of Farcaster such as @DefiIgnas misunderstand it in large part bc they are only trying to fit it into the conceptual boxes of current product categories. It's not entirely their fault: the Farcaster team also kind of has to talk about itself using these same rigid boxes when addressing new audiences, or otherwise the message can be too hard to quickly parse. But the truth is, Farcaster doesn't fit neatly into any boxes of previously existing things. Because it is a New Thing. You learn what this thing is by using it. I am someone who has spent 1,000's of hours on Farcaster over the last few years (chatting about ideas; meeting interesting people; trying out other people's apps; building $bracky – a $10M+ appcoin). In my opinion, what is happening within Farcaster is similar to what was happening with Starbucks at its launch. No one then understood that it wasn't primarily about the coffee, it was about having a "Third Place" outside of work and home, to do a certain kind of activity. Meet with people, use the computer, talk about ideas. Etc. In the same way, Farcaster is not about the crypto, it's about being a digital "Third Place" where you are around people who are inspired to use programmable social and programmable currency to live, build, and interact in novel and better ways. It is a new way of living and working together in the Internet Age. I think this is why many of us on Farcaster are deflated to see it categorized as "just a wallet" when we know from experience that it is much, much more. And also why we are annoyed to hear that we'll "never be a social network" when outsiders compare the usage numbers with Twitter etc. The truth is, it's something in between these two things, while also being superior to both of them in terms of quality and potentiality. I call it a Network Space bc it is in the same direction as @balajis Network State, but without the political ambition. If this sounds interesting, come give it a try. I would be happy to show you around.
