In this episode, Carlos Melgar, also known as Noun976, discusses his journey in the crypto space and his work in impact onboarding. He shares how he started by organizing beach cleanups in Honduras and incentivizing locals to participate by giving them crypto. This led to the realization that crypto can make a real impact in communities with limited financial resources. Carlos emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific needs of each community and involving them in the decision-making process. He also introduces the concept of 'meme-packed onboarding' as a way to engage thought leaders in the public goods space and encourage them to fund impactful projects.
They also discuss the importance of having fun while making an impact in the world of crypto. They highlight the power of playfulness in meme coins and how it can be leveraged for real-world projects. They also dive into the concept of Nouns, a DAO that allows individuals to vote on proposals and fund various initiatives. Carlos shares his experience with onboarding organizations into the crypto space and emphasizes the need to take action and experiment in the real world. They conclude by encouraging listeners to stay optimistic and not be deterred by failure.
