They apply to China. Which are driving the trend of China more; demographics and technology cycles? The political cycles that reflect the demographic and tech cycles are skipped over in my previous casts. I argue demos and tech move politics at the macro, but politics certainly pushes back hard. China is a clear example. Jack Ma and his cohort didn't just retire or lose their edge. In my opinion, the solution for demographics or resource constraints is productivity. Tech delivers productivity; politics must deliver and not impede tech innovation-commercialization at the risk of decreasing productivity. e/acc

Japan tried to innovate out of its demographic and resource constraints, which drove its successful economic moment. Did it stall because the innovators got old - ran out of bodies/brains? Or they feel off the technology waves? Certainly not mutually exclusive and a more complex question than I just provided. Another way to question did Japan fall off because of the timing of their demographic cycle or the timeline of the technology cycle? Again not mutually exclusive and more nuanced questions to be asked.

Anything in the book on the Japan 80/90s analogy to current China ~10/20s? Analysis given to demographics? Such as Japan’s demographic aging (decreasing volume of prime-age workers) contribution to weakening of innovation->commercialition? China is in its own version of a demographic trend the ‘experts’ ascribe as negative. Lets generalize to the Peter Zeihan macro view that china is demographically screwed. Japan and China are very different in many ways but I think its fair to leverage similarities and analogy through their histories and current state for analysis and forecast.

Use Case example to illustrate. I own a few CryptoDads NFTs https://cryptodadsnft.com - which migrated to @base. I can easily see a movie game for that ‘collection/project/brand/community’ = “Name that Movie Dad”. Who is worth @percs’ time to educate-sell and work with? Me as a small time holder, a whale holder, the community manager (or similar), the growth/ecosystem/partner manager, the CEO or most similar? What is the trade? CryptoDads pays, gives, does what to get ‘the game’ and what which Percs wants to lead to what? Pivot the example if it’s not helpful.

In the right direction. I don’t want marketing tools (deck not hammer;). Is an on chain creator an NFT artist, a dapp developer, a protocol, a bag holder…? Do I want awareness, handles/emails/addresses in a DB, engagement/subs/adds/follows/joins…, sales, actions…? ICP -> highest value outcome Percs use case

@percs creates “this outcome” for ideal customer profile (ICP). Outcome = important to me made possible or done better, faster, cheaper. ICP = champion who will endure the cost to adopt Percs which likely mean 0-1 (1 is more valued than cost of percs) or 10-100x better faster cheaper than current (will evolve). Outcomes not features. If they are serious they will want to know how. Only thing customer ever wants to buy is outcomes not products. I want a deck, not hammer, nails, wood.

In this special series of posts continuing our Token Launch Playbook, we cover token "do's and don'ts"; the ins and outs of tokens as part of overall compensation; a new cash flow model for web3 application tokens; and the art of tokencraft. We also share more on how to prepare for token launches, and how to structure deals involving token rights and restrictions — including how to avoid predatory term sheets. See also the first part of this series below, which covers what you need to know before you launch a token, as well as an operational readiness checklist from token creation to custody; rules for token launches and strategies for managing risk; and more. Check out all of the new resources here: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/guide-to-tokens/ Featuring @eddy, @milesjennings, @hackr, @mehdi, @mason, @shuel.eth, & more.

Owning my data means I can search the Internet and choose my recommendations without my behavioral telemetry choosing them for me. Owning my data means I can syndicate the content of family, friends and mentors without my ad cookie cache, the speed I scroll the page, my geographic region and my age being weaponized to maximize my click-through-rate, session starts and session duration. Owning my data means I live in a world where my devices and my platforms are use-agnostic— where they value me abandoning my screen to go hike a mountain the same as gluing my eyeballs to one. Owning my data means I decide the machine the metrics of my life get assembled into. I am not the unwitting, unpaid Transformer in an oligopolist’s dystopian comic franchise— required to submit to assembly into the latest AI-CRM-KPI monstrosity from my cradle to my grave. That’s what owning my data looks like.
