## Summary

Farcaster can grow by cultivating an identity so distinctive that it sustains itself, rather than by chasing mass appeal. Social products are described as ecosystems that can become verbs, as "Google" became a word for search and "Venmo" for financial exchange, once they are integral to human experience. Citing Kevin Kelly's "1000 true fans" model, the argument holds that Farcaster should not compete with Twitter or TikTok but should build a raison d'etre compelling enough to become self-perpetuating.
