Mint Podcast by Adam Levy From Coinbase Employee #20 to Building Farcaster with Dan Romero
Mint Season 6 episode 20 welcomes Dan Romero, Co-Founder of Farcaster, the sufficiently decentralized social network. Throughout the hour we discuss his thesis for web3, the current state of web3 social, building an audience as a crypto-native creator, what it means to be sufficiently decentralized, how web3 will beat the bots, and so much more.
Previously, Dan was the 20th employee at Coinbase and is an active early-stage angel investor across web2 and web3.
I hope you guys enjoy our conversation.
