But it took me gushing over charlixcx, pc music, dark souls, dreamhack, magic the gathering and more over a coffee w 40 to drive home the point. (Almost) everything we do is rooted in subcultures w/o easy access to capital. It gives us a clear edge and reason to exist. Abundant capital flows to VCs and charities, but only Nouns have the unique position to support subcultures. - What do you do? - We support subcultures - Subcultures? Cool, im part of a subcultures, maybe i should ask for a grant I think this framing can massively speed up our spread and reach. Tell your friend nouns supports subcultures and see them pass on the message. Its broad yet distinct. Animation shorts is a subculture. And toys, esports, and skiing. So it ethereum and hacker culture. A lot of things come together under this lens. I support subcultures: https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/1bd631ff-df62-4277-c74b-a6bdd259cd00/original Farcaster The Nouniverse mono 🐵 🪨 on Warpcast we quietly launched a nouns starter website during nouns town feel free to use it next time you are talking to someone about nouns and want to showcase a few of the amazing nouns projects out there https://nouns.builders/ Farcaster ISABEL | A Nouns Musical on Warpcast Eager to carve his own path and make his family proud, Isaac struggles to find his confidence which sometimes leaves him isolated.
