Nouns

camp should highlight historically significant props!

this came to mind looking at prop 762. the original (prop 271) was voted on during a very interesting time in dao history

so crazy that base is eth now. happened so fast.

daos will be very big in the future we just haven't built an asset that incentivizes long term play yet. protocol wise i think they will look more like nouns in the front and defi in the back

grok 3 actually coming up with novel ideas and able to reason about complex math in a defi context. agi soon

if you could only choose one, would you rather someone:

a) use your project and give feedback, or

b) buy you project’s token but never try the project

obviously ideal scenario is the combo of buy token, use product, give feedback but in this scenario we only have option a or b

b) is the right answer because all the complainers do a) for free

NK should donate to protocol guild and hit that Nouns auction

jesse is a really good leader, i think about his responses to problems often

everything is a ponzi digital money just helps you design the best ones

all successful crypto protocols are designed for 2 types of users.  those who want to play the market game (financial) and those that play the social game (art, community, etc). the first help the price go up while the latter creates believers who hold

Some thoughts on @zora turning posts into coins:

The digital art market has had big wins, but let’s be real, only a small group is benefiting while most creators fight for scraps. We won’t onboard more artists without attracting more collectors, and right now, there’s little incentive for traditional buyers to join.

Three major art marketplaces have shut down in six months. Those still standing must rethink product-market fit—not just for now, but for the next cycle.

Zora’s latest update turns posts into tradable coins. Instead of editions, you’re buying into a piece and receiving tokens. Maybe they’ll have value, maybe not—but for once, virality could actually reward creators. Believe in an artist? Grab more tokens. Think they’ll blow up? Speculate and earn.

could create some interesting dynamics if each account had their own coin on zora and all artwork was denominated in it. all eth used for minting @ccarella.eth art could market buy his coin. allows new mints to increase the total value of an artists brand vs dilute it

The idea that a prop has to have some sort of ROI financially is not that Nounish. 🤷‍♂️

nounish is a psyop used to fix group behavior into a maintainable box. not very useful when creativity is needed for nouns to succeed

nouns needs a revolution of common sense. meme proliferation is a half baked idea that justifies a slow drainage of the treasury under the false promise that attention leads to net inflows overtime. WRONG, the world cares about RESULTS. grants should go to individuals with a history of executing and a focus on those that can add energy back into the system equal to energy taken out. shun efforts that seek to redistribute power or grants without equal investment in (this is a sneaky way to steal). art for the sake of art and not propaganda should be reprioritized. if a prop cannot attract economic activity to nouns or eth… DENIED.

opportunity for nouns comeback story but it requires pivoting from “funding subcultures / meme” to funding the most eth aligned shit we can find onchain

nouns is absolutely nothing without a vibrant eth culture
