The Great Tortoise Stampede: GM Farcaster ep299 Tuesday, October 14, 2025
TLDR: 🐢 Turtle swap race takes over feeds 🧢 Hosts reminisce about NFT NYC origins💰 Farcaster launches 10% USDC deposit bonus 💬 New swap comment feature sparks jokes about “poor traders” 🕵️♂️ Community debatespublic wallet tabs and privacy
From our ChatGPT Intern: The episode starts with a pajama-to-live-stream sprint, some hat-based branding strategy, and a nostalgic detour to NFT NYC 2022, before rapidly devolving into a mix of deposit bonuses, turtle races, and people trying to mint their way into free prizes. Meanwhile, Farcaster drops new wallet features, Horsefacts turns swap comments into a tortoise stampede, and the crew debates whether public wallet tabs would spark transparency… or mass poverty reveals.
