Nouns

A new blog by @wylin outlines the potential for Nouns to evolve into a charity model, identifying key challenges and strategies for revenue generation and measuring success. Emphasizing community empowerment and subculture development, the piece envisions robust impact through creative engagement and collaboration.

Wrote a response to @krel’s thoughtful piece, making the case for charity status as a fine tuning of the DUNA to put Nouns in the best position to fund subcultures and proliferate the meme through public goods

potentially hot take is that nouns should have focused far more on product than media, and that would have spread the meme far more

“real-world public goods nouns is more interesting than crypto infrastructure (& media production) nouns”

wow Composer is an order of magnitude better  with this update

re: pumpfun, wtf did you think censorship-resistant, decentralized networks meant?

you’re witnessing freedom of speech + poverty mindset in its purest form. if you don’t like it, don’t watch it

we're gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, 'please, please. It's too much winning. we can't take it anymore. mr. president, it's too much.' and I'll say, 'no, it isn't! we have to keep winning! we have to win more!'

Path to making $nouns useful and scalable:
1. Get it audited
2. Exclude $nouns’ Noun balance from totalAdjustedSupply (NounsDAOFork lib upgrade +  NounsDAOLogicV4 upgrade to consume new lib)
3. Deposit some treasury Nouns (top N ID’s)
4. LP some of the $nouns, and distribute others as builder rewards

Benefits:
* $nouns won’t break governance quorum
* More LP means less slippage, making it more feasible to use $nouns as a medium of exchange within the Noun ecosystem
* Fractional treasury Noun distribution for builders rather then giving full Noun’s, which are mostly not being used (and themselves, hurting quorum)

Prop 536 failed largely due to regulatory uncertainty and liability, but DUNA might solve this?

Thoughts?

imo the design and incentives of $nouns are fundamentally and irredeemably broken

even blacklisting them from the quorum count, the token only serves to create bag holders

if esports asks for another 3 Nouns to liquidate and giveaway, it’s highly unlikely 3 people end up with 1m $nouns each, much more likely they’re spread across a bunch of people

what’s their incentive to hold, to participate with Nouns beyond surface level grift for the sake of more tokens?

there’s no use case for this token other than to sell it for harder forms of money or roll into your next shitcoin play. if incentives to hold existed, that transaction history wouldn’t be bloody red from all the sells

please stay out of my DMs with your consumer product launch. respectfully, i don’t care

high conviction and contrarian is a much weirder position to be in than I expected

story of my life

contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism is wack. living life according to a set of first principles has a way of making it happen though

if another round of amnesty/ citizenships for millions of illegal foreign nationals + 4 more years of importing them is allowed to happen, America will become a one party Marxist state

the only route out of that is significant violence. i don’t want that. mass deportation is the peaceful option

anarcho-tyranny is when a government gleefully allows foreign invaders and vagrants to harass, rape, rob, and murder its citizens while using the full force of the law to prosecute upstanding citizens

i am once again pondering how a reconciliation is possible

i was an Obama guy 2012 (barely too young to vote,) Bernie 2016 (voted Hillary,) Andrew Yang 2020, (didn’t vote.)

Trump x Vance is the only way forward if we want a sovereign nation based on individual liberty, freedom of speech, & bodily autonomy

accelerating agritech. empowering communities. ending hunger.
