reflecting a bit on the news of the $BNKR coinbase listing. its massive external validation for what we are building. if you have been in the trenches with us then you've already known the ticker is $BNKR, but coinbase listing the asset is a signal to everyone else. i take massive pride in showcasing what's possible in crypto. you can just build things. i spent 2024 building Ham on Farcaster, a community driven social experiment. we formed what became known as the ham cult. at the end of 2024 i began work on bankr, which at first was a simple agent on farcaster that would buy coins for you in the social feed and send them to your farcaster wallet. it became clear to me what bankr could become — the mother of all abstractions, the easiest way for people to participate in these new financial markets. a way to take complex actions and simplify them into simple messages to a responsive, intelligent entity that can actually help you. it provides a way for people, who may not typically have the technical know how, to participate in crypto markets which may have been previously reserved only for those who could figure out the tech. this is our north star. there were no insiders. even the team had to buy our own coin. was this ideal? no, but its extremely egalitarian and at the end of the day thats really what crypto is all about. financial freedom and the opportunity for anyone, anywhere in the world, to participate without anyones permission. lfg. we are just getting started.
