On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew and Rizzle kick off the show by recapping OONA's appearance on last Thursday's (3/27) WIP Meetup.

Next Matthew & Rizzle get into an unplanned praise fest for the purple app aka Farcaster. A recent article published in Wired covering Crypto The Game and mini apps like Farcade are two examples among many more that are resulting in an explosion of reasons for folks in the crypto space to come together throughout their days on the purple app. The analytics reinforce this take.

The Ghiblification phenomena that took over every timeline for a few days last week is discussed next. Matthew highlights the potential business opportunities that may arise at the intersection of Crypto x AI. He draws potential historical parallels using the left-field example of Hallmark's origin story based on an earlier post that occurred at a time when technological advances in photography, mass-printing, and global shipping all converged at once - forces that mirror what is happening with crypto, ai, and the internet.

p.s. Shout out to Brookhawk for being an incredible human being and feeding Matthew's Farcade habit by sending him tickets regularly (before they were eliminated from the game lmao).
