When USDC Became a Memecoin: GM Farcaster ep280

When USDC Became a Memecoin: GM Farcaster ep280 Friday, August 22, 2025  From our ChatGPT Intern: Episode 280 of GM Farcaster was basically “stablecoin summer,” with everyone memeing about USDC trending like it was the hottest new shitcoin, while the hosts launched surprise Retake coins and debated whether it’s “GIF” or “JIF” as if civilization depended on it. Throw in a Cloudflare outage, cast actions mysteriously vanishing, Base’s new mentorship program, and Neynar AI debunking conspiracy theories about Phil and Jake being the same person, and you’ve got the perfect mix of chaos, comedy, and crypto lore. Show Notes and Links – some of the casts & stuff we talked about:  USDC trending:https://farcaster.xyz/mazmhussain/0x4fbee887https://farcaster.xyz/cameron/0x9527b9f2https://farcaster.xyz/matthewb/0xe52aa7eahttps://farcaster.xyz/jacy/0xf58ab795https://farcaster.xyz/derek/0x5bd4f633 Cloudflare Rules Everything Around Me:https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x2ea77695 cast composer/cast actions gone:https://farcaster.xyz/seneca/0x4e1d3eefhttps://farcaster.xyz/stevedylandev.eth/0xef312be0 New: Token Tags Typehttps://farcaster.xyz/v/0x521d2760 gas swaps in the warplet:https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x7c729a8c Base mentors:https://farcaster.xyz/base.base.eth/0xb32b25d7 Base App trending coins:https://farcaster.xyz/aneri.base.eth/0xdb5915cchttps://farcaster.xyz/jesse.base.eth/0x13e31768 Neynar ai:https://farcaster.xyz/grin/0x4031f931https://farcaster.xyz/rish/0x12b890b6https://farcaster.xyz/rish/0x08cb44ffhttps://farcaster.xyz/rish/0x4a53ef1bhttps://farcaster.xyz/neynar/0xa01c0f19 Octant grants stream:https://farcaster.xyz/octant/0x86884596 Rewards leaderboard and the drama that followed:https://farcaster.xyz/bradq/0x752f3833https://farcaster.xyz/m00npapi.eth/0xcfe0af49https://farcaster.xyz/kazani.eth/0xcdf460a8https://farcaster.xyz/bertwurst.eth/0x22d1ece8https://farcaster.xyz/ahn.eth/0x82a07baahttps://farcaster.xyz/nicom/0xb5a84c4chttps://farcaster.xyz/genuinejack/0xe525ebdf  $YZY…in a frame?https://farcaster.xyz/kenny/0x4fd013efhttps://farcaster.xyz/drewcoffman.eth/0x88446560https://farcaster.xyz/brendannn.eth/0xa47443b2https://farcaster.xyz/ted/0xafe8575ahttps://farcaster.xyz/jc4p/0x4e58bd3f 2 perfect albums from when you were 16:https://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0xc21942ab Proxy stream:https://farcaster.xyz/proxystudio.eth/0xee9f85d3https://farcaster.xyz/triumph/0x8f7081fchttps://farcaster.xyz/nt/0xc643087a Live on Retake:https://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0xd63534d5https://farcaster.xyz/afrochicks/0x4da11723  And our musings elsewhere: Mint this episode on pods.media: https://pods.media/gm-farcaster  Learn more about partnering with GM Farcaster:https://mediakit.gmfarcaster.com/  Adrienne: Some of the Things: Too Many Thingshttps://someofthethings.substack.com/p/too-many-things  Nounish Prof: Unpacking with Prof: https://paragraph.xyz/@nounishprof AND www.gmfarcaster.com is live along with our GM Farcaster FAQ: https://paragraph.xyz/@adrienne/gm-farcaster-faq  Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com. NOTE: Cryptocurrencies are often volatile assets.
