let me try another analogy for nouns. nouns as the most forward thinking, public infrastructure focused, onchain city of our time. nouns as ONCHAIN ROME. (h/t @gremplin for the art below and @cryptoseneca for the original rome meme)

never thought i’d see the day bank lobbies go hard against the SEC asking for *checks notes* fair accounting practices for bitcoin

US banks, left off key bitcoin ETF roles, are pushing SEC to tweak guidance around holding digital assets. A bank trade gp coalition sent SEC letter asking them exclude ETFs from broad crypto umbrella. They want a piece of the action. I don't blame them, it isn't fair.…

I think it's time we have a nouns mobile app dedicated to just *voting*. if all it did was send me notifications on prop voting start / end nearing and allow a good prop reading + voting UX, I would be happy.

incredible to see nouns public infra (prop house) be used so directly by coinbase this is how nouns working to solve its own problems but keeping it all open source (public good) can really have an outsized impact on the broader crypto movement over time

don’t know what led to the anomalous trading behavior today but we’re the white bar in this chart and we’re continuing to hold up 5-10% mkt share amongst the giants and building momentum

The Nine had biggest volume day since Day One with about $2b in combined trading thx to big contributions from $HODL, $BTCW and $BITB which all broke their personal records. For context $2b in trading would put them in Top 10ish among ETFs and Top 20ish among stocks. It's a lot.

We should go against our web 2 instincts to charge for things, own distribution platforms, own IP, etc since we have a structurally different way to monetize and scale. Instead we should be partnering with the world recruiting fans that share our vision. That's nouish ⌐◨-◨

it baffles me that we're so adverse to funding our own open source infrastructure (e.g. @houseofnouns ). it's as if we WANT our open source teams to go closed source, tack on fees, and raise venture funding. we're a public art / software movement!
