if you’re nouns fan trading clankers, consider using @matchaxyz to trade since they support nouns! (largest sponsor of nouns @esports)

wrote a long VWR for the 2025 esports prop. felt it was one of the more important props for us to think through and the pros/cons is nuanced: https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/698?tab=activity&item=0xae65e700f3f8904ac1007d47a5309dd26f8146c0-698

nouns was just early with facing this reality re DUNA imo also like when miles, lex node, and preston agree on something re crypto regulatory risk posture that’s a rare moment https://x.com/milesjennings/status/1858720755523219932?s=46 https://x.com/lex_node/status/1858727851836469292?s=46 https://x.com/prestonjbyrne/status/1858730314073317487?s=46

i continue to find higher fascinating nouns and higher are both headless brands but the *absence* of the dao seems to make it more obvious to higher fans that permissionless participation is welcome and encouraged the *presence* of a fungible token also creates more economic alignment amongst the fan base. any fan can buy any amount of $higher that fits for them. there’s a feeling of shared squad wealth that bitcoin has, ethereum has, that higher has but nouns does not bc most nouns fans don’t own nouns nfts of course the inverse of the above is also higher’s weaknesses. even with a $30m mkt cap, it’s probably hard to coordinate funding $100k+ or $1m+ community projects atm. bitcoin with its $1.5T mkt cap routinely struggles to raise ~$10m / yr for its ~50 core open source devs. tragedy of the commons is a real thing esp as you grow further

i feel this a lot. every nouns fan goes through some version of governance burnout. the best trick for a sustainable nouns fandom is to remind yourself that nouns is a headless brand and its world is bigger than the dao. you don’t need permission

if you hold $nouns right now it’s probably bc you want to see a nouns backed erc20 happen one way you can more actively support that is pairing your $nouns holding with some eth and providing liquidity into the uniswap pool so that future users of $nouns can experience less slippage easiest way is to LP with the full price range so that you don’t have to actively manage the position https://app.uniswap.org/explore/tokens/base/0x0a93a7be7e7e426fc046e204c44d6b03a302b631

JB never stopped working on the nouns funded farcaster client it’s centered around making minting easy for subcultures fans to support its own artists and each other excited to see how it evolves 🙂

zora’s “spark” unit is starting to grow on me. 1 spark being one millionth of 1 eth. we have gwei but that’s one billionth of an eth and that’s just too small. 111 sparks (price of 1 mint) is around 30 cents right now. 1 spark is around a quarter of a cent. i feel like there’s a decent chance this sticks https://zora.co/writings/sparks

these notifications about someone minting after seeing you mint is weirdly satisfying. i think i would care less if it was just a follow “like” but follow “mint” means the creator actually made more eth bc of it. kind of cool. (everyone also go mint the @benbodhi doc by @leoclark.eth to support the work!)

@sloppy taking nouns animation rounds to the next level 👏👏 (not featured in the graphic but also doing twitch review of submissions) wonder if this is kind of how other rounds evolves. a big part of the appeal and brand of the round becomes the person leading it.

this is the way. we support others’ fandoms and they in turn learn about the positives of crypto through nouns

i’m now officially on the zora app. loaded some eth. minting everything from nouns folks. it’s not exactly bound (isn’t scoped to mints that share rewards back to the nouns treasury) but the minting UX is FINALLY exactly what i ever hoped for (double tap; no fuss) reply if you’re actively posting on zora and i should follow you!
