Despite the protocol being open, Warpcast is by far the dominant client and will likely remain so for a while. How do you both think about network and client diversity?

Fundamentally if you ask any of the developers who are here today, the number one thing that they want for their app is users and if the protocol doesn't have users then they're not actually getting what they want from Farcaster. So I think of the Ronnie Coleman point - everyone wanna be a bodybuilder, but nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight. Ultimately, you have to actually grow the number of users on the protocol before you get to a thriving ecosystem. So roughly 100,000 people using the network today; I think we need to be closer to 10 million. You all are taking an early bet and I think it's great, but when you get to 10 million, you can have a pretty robust ecosystem where people can actually have thriving independent, sustainable businesses alongside Warpcast. And so I don't think anyone else is gonna go do that. So fundamentally, we have to drive that forward and maybe when we get to that 10 million point, we can kind of reassess how we interact with others in the space.
