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.
