Nouns

what if /gnars exchanged most of our treasury for 12 nouns and were delegated my 3 to join the dao? 

less “a nouns thing” and more “for nouns” if you know what i mean?

lots of talented risk takers ready for what’s to come.

nouns is fractured. strength in numbers. would actually ramp up my contribution now /imf is live and doing well. have been in deep discussions with @volky.eth and on calls with @0xdusk recently. we need everyone together and aligned imo

wouldn't die. it would grow. 

for the longest time it has been "sub" dao.

a nouns thing. instead of for nouns. with nouns etc.

my thinking is nouns guilds. domain specific.

biggest mistake Lil Nouns made was buying so many nouns -- ended up with a loss of 400 eth - it won't onboard anyone to gnars. It's been tried and failed. So this looks to me like a way to wind up gnars which is fine if you think that's needed for some reason but it won't benefit gnars. It will only benefit the nouns treasury. It won't give gnars any significant say in nouns. Virtuous cycle exists but the fork was unhelpful, caused to much drama and loss of momentum. The brand can still be strong and force for the good and the noggles still rock.  I think it's great to onboard more people to nouns -- why kill gnars in order to do it though?

i disagree and will demonstrate why before trying to influence anything in any meaningful way. shark dao lacks what i think is key for this to work: domain specificity. 

why do you think onboarding a large group of people, with deep experience in a specific area, to nouns dao, a misstep?

also, not sure if you're aware but i build things and am part of the biggest builder community in australia, with the support of incredible people who have deep experience across all relevant areas to make this work.

i'm not suggesting we make a random knee jerk reaction. there's extensive scenario modelling and new ideas at the fray, of which the recent gigabrains i've onboarded to nouns would be contributing to.

as things are, they don't work. the virtuous cycle doesn't exist. no value value created flows back to nouns. it's pumpfun for handouts.

we need everyone to come together and do something about it or nouns itself is over in the mid term.

seems like a misstep to me — staying as its own independent DAO is a much better approach imo — just being a DAO that votes on nouns props would be the end of gnars as something unique and would eventually become like SharkDAO which has been dormant for years.
