 Andreessen Horowitz gave this clown $30 million to build Twiddler on Eritherium. 🤡🤣

 Fastest way to waste $30m 
 Fastest way to dump tokens on retail and turn a profit on your investment. A16Z have mastered this particular scam. 
 is he the one who built fartcaster ? 
 Why did he block you? 
 Ha. Joke’s on him. I’d do it for $3 million and my finished product (none) would be just as valuable as everything else based on shitcoinery (nil). 
 Well that’s one approach to build it, if he fails it’ll strengthen nostr right, if he succeeds - we’ll have to learn and adapt it to nostr, 

we win in all cases, why be negative with people and other founders especially over fucking email registration?

look at how many users he’s got in the past month and how many nostr got

look at how many bots are on nostr vs farcaster

look at how many projects launched in a month on farcaster vs nostr

people aren’t ready to go fully decentralized yet and they aren’t ready to switch to something that isn’t at least matching the UX of current mass market platforms

being a designer myself, it’s very easy to beat UX of facebook or instagram, if we just copy it and remove ads - it’ll get people to switch already, we can already zap people too - that’d be a game changer

farcaster gives you an option to buy its token with credit card, now imagine if you want to top up sats - what’s that process gonna look like if you don’t own any bitcoin which most people don’t? 
 I’m being negative?

I woke up to see that someone tried to register an account under my email that was scraped from a database hack on a social network for ETH addicts.

I reacted as one might expect by trying to find out if others had gotten similar messages and I saw a lot of people had.

The CEO responded me on Twitter after I pointed out the differences between how their centralized email registration compares to creating an npub, and I believe I was being more than generous with him in my responses.

But then that shitcoining ass-clown fucker blocked me. 😆 
 That means that you won. Take the victory lap 
 I’m a skimmer and all I saw was: 

“I’m being negative? 

That shitcoining ass-clown fuc*er.” 

😂 
 Correct! 
 VC’s waste money.  It’s in their coding…meanwhile when they hit on an idea less than 5% of the time we celebrate them and see them as modern day oracles.  Ludicrous. 
 It really shows that a16z’s entire business is built on management fees and carry, not outcomes. 
 They couldn’t even come up with a decent name for it. Sounds like a bad sci-fi series.
