Legacy social media platforms lock you in, control your audience, and exploit your data.

  • How Farcaster addresses social media’s structural flaws

  • How Farcaster’s mini-app ecosystem is helping to grow the user base

  • The most popular apps taking off on the platform

  • How the whole crypto community could benefit from gathering on Farcaster

  • Why she believes crypto communities belong on open, portable networks

  • And why her family’s history helped her grasp the significance of Bitcoin in 2011
