8/12 So what is Farcaster's native advantage? It is still the freedom that comes from the blockchain underneath. Farcaster should become a place where people from every industry can speak freely, and it should give their activity a frictionless environment: small circles gathering, payments, and so on.
On top of that, it should grow club spaces on the square. There are many users who pay for knowledge, and many kinds of hobbyists, and no product serves them properly. Take Zhishi Xingqiu (https://www.zsxq.com/), a Chinese product that pushed paid knowledge communities as far as they can go. It looks like Twitter but is closed, and its payment features are good enough to cover every kind of paid-content need. At its peak it was doing billions of yuan a year in gross transaction volume. But a product like that is limited by internet censorship; its user base shrank and stopped growing.
