Dropped into Preface for a few meetings in HK yesterday. Started as an edtech platform for enteprise, they have built a 20m usd/y business that combines coffee, project based blockchain coding camps for children, and an app for courses (they already have a full course on deepseek within a week) Partnered with LVMH, Google, Samsung, and others. Gave me similar feels to when I first saw speedrun ethereum on github. Good luck on the financing!

Small thesis for sports the past two years that has become an SEC compliant ATS system for onchain securities launching next month. Earnings are capped by the odds for traditional sports betting, but certain sports allow for your to own a portion of the market. For instance, consider a horse valued at 300k with 10k shares available at an initial price of $7.50 a share. We own 20% of the total horse and 20% of the shares for the purse of that horse. If that horse races for a Grade 2 and wins, that's 400k, ownership group earns roughly 192k and the 20% ownership cut ends up being 38.4k or $3.07 a share. Winning two of these purses essentially covers my ownership of the horse. In contrast, if I bet on the same horse at 2:1 odds, I'd have to wager 49.6k to earn 19.2k and have the same potential return. Investing in the horse has provided me a long term asset appreciation that has lower risk than betting on the horse. Studding is where the long term value lies and selling the weenlings. Here's Love Tempo.

On the eve of going back stateside, some thoughts of China 1. Excited to see China willing to work with SMEs and to see how much they've built domestically. There are blockchain apps doing 20m revenue that I've never even heard of 2. I believe Chinese studios with western tokenomics will win the onchain gaming market. Hard to compete with hundreds of devs and government stipends 3. Tiktok/Douyin is a cancer but maybe necessary as AI destroys a lot of roles over the next decade. 4. Mobile forward is so important. Wallet tech needs to feel like alipay before major adoption. Not just a wallet, a door into everything else. 5. Speculation is a feature but not a necessary feature. 6. IP is becoming tribal, memecoins are going to be very interesting over the next decade. Modern day cults.

Today Nouns DAO became the first government approved DAO in China in direct partnership with the Chinese government. Over the next year, China will provide access for our team to advise and implement the future of China's blockchain legislature. I am excited to bridge the gap for China and am thankful for support from 王野霏, chairman of the Capital Copyright Association. Thank you to everyone at Nouns I've met this year, this still feels like a dream to me and I can't wait for us to be able to use government channels to proliferate our mission

Spent the morning chatting about my vision of Nouns in China with Premier Zhao's second in command, 黄剑平. I got to learn about how he brought Levi's and Cocacola to China while brokering a bilateral trade deal with the Bush administration. Lot of plans starting with an announcement on Wednesday 😉

Impact investment can happen in AI too. Caught up with https://www.curie.co/ today who has had an allstar run after being mentioned by StockX and Tim Cook at WWDC and they focus on one thing, turning images into 3D models using high accuracy. Before them, 3d product rendering was a manual process that was outdated. In numbers -> 1B products x manual effort = $20T in cost to bring to 3D They've been building their systems and on year three have reduced the cost of rendering from $200 in Year 0 to $0.20 with an ultimate goal of $0.002 per product by Year 5. What is the impact of this in numbers? Early data through partners like StockX, Walmart, and Meta show that at scale (3B products), reducing the return rate with better 3D showrooms could reduce up to 2 Billion pounds of waste. Investors have the potential of an exit (acquisition most likely in this case by an ecom giant) but can also feel good knowing this could have a significant impact on the negatives that fast fashion brought in.

Fully off memes for the near future outside of my own launches the next month. Learned a lot this year through Sam for base and Peter for solana. Market shifting and innovations in stables is more exciting and less risk. Esports needs a few products to funnel money for my dream of owning a league team.

Voter atrophy comes from not making governance enjoyable enough to spend your time. That's the beauty of a DAO. Having to spend 4 hours in a call to hear a few proposals is too much time for most people, especially on a weekday. Agreed that voter participation is important, but that's a separate issue to the DUNA imo.

Slippage on tokens makes me not want to buy them most of the time. Personal note: Went to swap $1000 to $NOUNS and hit a 14% slippage Swapping to $100 brought it to 3% Swapping to $80 brought it to 2% I spent $80 instead of $1000 on the token because of the slippage. I think we should look at adding a bit of liquidity too before we see the next rush of $nouns users cc @noun40 @sams

We launched a new series of quests today focusing on onchain onboarding. There's a specific quest for swapping $NOUNS on @matchaxyz that I would recommend doing once for a future nounish reward 😅 Link to quest: https://nouns.gg/quests/swap-nouns If anyone has feedback when using nounsgg, we would appreciate it! Happy Friday!
