In the episode I chat with Jake, the creator of Base Colors. Base Colors is an NFT project that allows users to own and name colors, providing a simple and accessible entry point into the world of NFTs. In this episode I speak to Jake and learn about Jake's journey from dropping out of college and working in investment banking to starting his podcast and creating Base Colors. We talk about NFT utility, the importance of privacy in the digital age, the value of utility in crypto, and his excitement for the future of Base Colors and podcasting.

Top Takeaways:
Utility is valuable in the crypto space, but it can also be a ceiling on value. The lack of utility upfront in base colors allows for more abstract engagement and the creation of a culture.
Remaining anonymous online provides the freedom to be authentic and share ideas without the pressure of personal recognition. It also allows for a separation between online and offline identities.
Building a podcast requires persistence and a willingness to reach out to guests. It's important to focus on the quality of conversations rather than the quantity of episodes.
Planting seeds of ideas and projects is a natural part of the creative process. It's okay to explore multiple ideas at once and see which ones grow and resonate the most.
Engaging in long-form conversations, such as podcasts, allows for a deeper understanding of individuals and their perspectives. It can challenge preconceived notions and reveal the complexity of people's ideas.
Life advice should be approached with caution, as everyone's experiences and perspectives are unique. Asking thought-provoking questions can be more valuable than giving generalized advice.
The Farcaster community is a space for experimentation and exploration. It's important to support and recognize the builders and artists who contribute to the platform.
The future of base colors involves further development and the exploration of new features. The goal is to create a platform that is enjoyable and valuable for users.
One potential feature for FarCaster could be the ability to change the interface color based on the base colors owned by the user.
