A
The
next
person
who's
gonna,
be
talking
is
occupying
a
very
special
place
in
the
near
ecosystem.
Right
now,
who
started
as
a
crypto
enthusiast
and
basically
founded
the
very
first
guild
of
near
protocol,
and
today
he's
going
to
be
talking
about.
I
don't
know
why
I'm
looking
at
the
screen,
there
is
nothing
but
he's
going
to
be
talking
about
how
to
bring
your
guild
from
a
community
to
actual
company
to
the
place
where
you're
doing
actual
things
that
are
very
important
and
also
the
entrepreneurship
aspect
of
it.
Ozymandias.
B
Can
you
guys
hear
me
okay?
So
originally
the
discussion
was
going
to
be
focused
on
and
skilled,
going
from
a
guild
to
a
company.
I
thought
that
it
would
be
more
in
a
sense,
fruitful
for
everyone
to
get
a
kind
of
inside
look
at
how
to
maybe
do
deep,
crypto
entrepreneurship.
B
I
think
the
funny
thing
just
to
say
real
quickly
is
that
everyone
went
pretty
fast.
So
I
have
a
lot
of
time.
I'm
not
going
to
use
all
of
it.
So
we're
not
going
to
you're
not
going
to
hear
me
talk
for
40
minutes,
but
I
have
some
stuff
to
say.
So.
B
This
presentation
is
just
gonna
be
a
walk-through
of
the
journey
that
we've
been
through
with
ants
guild
and
the
four
I'm
gonna.
I'm
gonna
put
forward
four
steps
for
anyone
who
wants
to
kind
of
get
into
the
crypto
space
and
do
deep,
crypto
stuff,
deep
crypto
isn't
too
well
known,
but
it's
just
like
deep
tech
in
other
fields.
Right,
there's
deep
deep
mind,
there's
deep
biotech
it.
It
kind
of
relates
to
the
people
who
are
in
the
weeds
on
the
ground,
ground
level
and
they're.
B
Looking
at
a
lot
of
different
innovations
spring
up-
and
this
is
pretty
much
a
talk
of
how
to
be
an
entrepreneur
in
this
fast-moving,
crazy
environment,
with
lots
of
products
being
built
and
lots
of
people
going
back
and
forth
first
question
for
the
audience.
If
you
remember
community
managers
from
2016
2017,
please
put
your
hand
up
okay,
and
if
you
put
your
hand
up,
you
probably
remember
that
in
crypto
in
2016
2017
the
community
manager
was
like
the
bottom
of
the
totem
pole
right.
B
B
You
can
help
manage
the
community,
and
I
think
the
funny
thing
is
that
the
crypto
space
as
a
whole
has
kind
of
figured
out
that
these
guys
are,
in
a
sense,
some
of
the
most
valuable
assets,
because
web
3,
unlike
web
2,
is
all
about
working
together
right.
B
It's
all
about
win-win
solutions
and
building
things
collaboratively,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
start
by
pointing
out
that,
where
we
are
right
now
and
where
this
space
is
going,
the
thing
that
we
need
the
most
the
thing
that
is
the
most
valuable
at
the
end
of
the
day
across
the
board
is
people,
and
especially
the
community
managers,
because
those
are
the
guys
who
you
know
have
been
on
the
front
lines
for
so
long
that
have
to
deal
with
so
much
but
they're.
Also,
the
first
point
of
entry
into
an
ecosystem.
B
Four
steps
for
those
looking
to
go
deep,
crypto
when
we
started
in
the
near
ecosystem.
That
was
my
bedroom
for
the
first
two
and
a
half
months
at
near.
So
I
slept
in
the
office
and
we
did
calls
had
four
calls
a
week
at
3am,
and
this
was
like
kind
of
the
beginning
of
the
whole
thing.
B
I
won't
go
into
the
story
of
how
we
found
near
and
how
we
got
into
the
guild,
throwing
how
we
got
off
the
ground,
but
I
was
really
excited
about
this
whole
new
wave
of
l
ones
and
also
really
excited
about
the
prospect
of
you
know
a
web
3
with
more
than
just
tokens
to
be
traded
things
that
can
actually
be
used
right.
The
whole
composability
stack.
B
So
what
what
I'm
going
to
do?
Next,
though
so,
basically
going
through
here,
there'll,
be
a
step
and
then
I'll
give
some
examples
of
what
we
did
and
we'll
go
through
the
steps
and
then
we'll
just
put
them
all
together
at
the
end
so
step
one
for
deep
crypto.
I
made
this
long
list
and
I
think
there
should
be
one
or
two
others,
but
it
didn't
update
to
basically
show
that
you
can
pretty
much
come
into
crypto
from
any
entry
point
you
you
can
play
to
your
strengths.
B
B
So
since
ants
has
started,
we've
done
a
whole
host
of
different
things
across
the
ecosystem,
working
to
get
the
open
web
sandbox
off
the
ground,
working
to
launch
the
degens,
the
warp
speed
guilds
program,
and
then
I
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
shreyas.
I
don't
know
if
he's
here,
but
basically
you
know
back
in
the
day.
This
would
have
been
september
october
of
last
year.
Shreyas
was
like
our
first
point
of
contact
in
the
community
and
he
really
welcomed
us
and
he
really
helped
us.
B
You
know
get
set
up
and
we
wouldn't.
We
really
wouldn't
be
a
guild
without
chaos,
so
he's
right,
there,
yeah
yeah,
so
and
he's
taken
the
guilds
program
from
there.
Nearguilds.Com
move
capital
crone
commanders,
which
is
this
nice
shirt
that
trevor
gave
me
slide
decks
community
building
content,
premier
foundation
strategy
with
sharif.
So
the
the
general
theme
here
is
that
there
is
no
single
skill
set,
there's
no
degree
that
you
can
get
that
encompasses
all
of
it.
B
B
All
right,
second
one-
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
ones,
because
it's
kind
of
counterintuitive
but
building
basically
a
crypto,
a
crypto
ecosystem
is
al,
is
a
lot
like
a
city
and
to
be,
I
think,
successful
or
effective.
You
want
to
build
a
huge
network
and
the
prerequisite
for
building
a
huge
network.
Actually,
this
is
actually
step
four,
so
I'm
not
gonna,
say
it,
but
the
building
these
networks
is
where
the
value
starts
to
cascade,
really
really
quickly.
B
So,
when
you're,
creating
content
on
one
side
doing
slide
decks
on
the
other
interviewing
someone
else
in
the
ecosystem
and
helping
you
know
with
the
community
building,
when
someone
comes
to
you
and
they
say
hey,
we
have
something
that
we
want
to
do,
or
we
have
something
really
interesting.
B
The
value
kind
of
just
shoots
around
really
quickly
and
it's
way
more
effective
and
way
more
fast
at
being
deployed
than
if
you
do
one
thing
you
got
to
call
someone
else
up
and
say:
hey
you
know
this
just
came
through.
Can
you
have
your
people?
Do
this
et
cetera?
That's
why
I
put
here
the
zero
point
of
crypto
comes
from
being
a
central
node
between
multiple
different
parts
of
an
ecosystem.
B
So
you
want
to
position
yourself
in
such
a
way
where
you're
connected
to
a
diverse
group
of
people-
maybe
some
you
know
better
than
others,
but
you're
still
building
a
relationship
with
them,
you're
asking
them
how
they're
doing
you're
asking
what
they
need,
help
with
you're
connecting
them
to
other
people,
you're
just
kind
of
playing
the
the
host
of
the
dinner
party.
That's
how
I
like
to
think
about
it
right.
B
People
are
showing
up
they're
asking
who
else
is
around
and
you're
bringing
them
in
and
introducing
them,
yeah
and,
and
that
obviously
comes
with
being
helpful
and
supportive
and
trying
to
build
a
reputation
for
being
helpful
and
supportive.
Because
then
people
come
to
you
and
say
hey,
you
know:
how
can
I
meet
this
person
and
then
this
this
adds
into
the
first
two
points
to
really
make
the
first
two
points
effective.
So
we
talked
about
you
know
it
doesn't
matter
what
your
skill
set
is.
B
You
can
do
a
whole
bunch
of
things
you
want
to
build
a
network.
This
is
where
things
get
real,
and
this
goes
back
to
the
picture
at
the
very
very
beginning
right.
So
there's,
no
one
who
is
super
comfortable
in
this
space.
There's
no
one
who
has
a
good
grasp
of
everything
going
on
the
developers
tend
to
be
weak
on
the
economics
and
specifically
the
game
theory
crypto
economic
side
of
building
products.
The
community
managers
and
the
communications
people
sometimes
have
trouble
communicating
how
certain
technical
products
work.
B
No
one
is
an
expert
in
what
is
considered.
You
know
the
crypto
stack,
so
in
that
sense,
the
way
that
you
differentiate
the
way
that
you
stand
out.
The
way
that
you
can
thrive
in
this
environment
is
just
by
working
harder
and
doing
more,
taking
more
calls
being
the
connector
point,
trying
to
put
together
more
things,
pushing
more
initiatives,
really
just
just
being
more
available
is,
is,
I
think,
the
fastest
way
to
making
the
first
two
things
really
stand
out
and
then,
as
I
said
before,
it
really
starts
to
cascade
right.
B
So
when
people
know
you
can
whip
out
a
really
good
technical
blog
or
you
have
a
really
good
twitter
following
all
the
projects
are
going
to
start
coming
to
you
right,
then
you
connect
that
to
the
community.
You
know
piece
that
you
built
or
another
guild
structure
that
you
built
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
what
they're
sending
to
you
magnifies
in
another
way,
so
we've
and
then
the
final
thing
is.
Is
there
really
is
no
playbook?
B
So
I
I've
seen
some
people
coming
in
from
other
industries
in
the
sense
that
they
think
that
it's
rinse
and
repeat
for
crypto
or
you
can
follow
a
certain
set
of
rules
and
things
will
work,
and
this
is
what
will
make
your
product
grow.
It's
it's
so
new.
It's
based
on
the
macro
environment
of
where's,
the
cycle.
B
Where
are
the
different
ecosystems
at
what
are
the
different
ecosystem
needs
and
you
got
to
be
always
ready
to
iterate
and
change
while
you're
working
super
hard
right,
so
it
doesn't
matter
what
your
skill
set
is
build
a
huge
network
and
then
just
go
all
in
and
overwork
everyone
else
right.
Take
the
calls
at
3am
and
do
more
than
other
people
are
willing
to
do,
because
that's
what
ultimately
is
going
to
make
people
want
to
keep
you
around
right,
and
this
has
kind
of
been
recently.
B
This
is
this
is
what
we've
been
up
to,
but
krone
commanders
move
capital,
open
forest
protocol,
emerald
circuit's,
a
new
one,
that'll
come
on
aurora
and
then
rising
grinds
also
a
new
one
that
that
we're
trying
to
do
and
where
possible,
we
try
to
put
and
fit
these
all
together.
So
we
try
to
integrate
them
right.
We
should
use
chromecast
for
ofp.
B
The
final
piece
is
also
counterintuitive,
and
this
is
something
that
I
think
should
be
a
firm
line
in
the
crypto
industry.
So
it's
super
important
to
me
at
least
that
for
crypto
to
stay
crypto,
we
need
to
keep
making
sure
that
it's
about
other
people,
it's
about
helping
other
people
and
it's
about
not
just
making
money
and
not
just
personally
benefiting
right.
So
I
can
use
the
example,
maybe
to
start
with
the
chrome,
commander's
chromecast,
so
trevor
and
and
mike.
I
don't
think
I
think
they're
here,
but
I
don't
think
they're
here
here.
B
You
know
they
reached
out
to
me
two
months
ago
I
said:
hey,
you
know,
chromecast
is
coming
out,
we're
launching
the
chrome
commanders.
Will
you
help
us
build
the
community?
I
said
sure:
what
do
you
guys
need?
Well,
we
need
to
get
a
form.
We
need
to
train
people,
we
need
whatever.
So,
okay,
let's
do
it.
They
said,
okay,
what
do
you
want
for
it?
What
what
what
you
know
how
much
money
you
want?
How
does
this
work
at
the
rates
or
whatever
I
said,
the
only
thing
that
we
need?
B
The
only
thing
that
I
want
at
this
point
is
to
make
the
chrome
commander
succeed,
because
if
we
have
a
lot
of
chrome
commanders
in
the
ecosystem,
then
chromecast
as
a
product
can
be
integrated
across
all
of
the
dapps
in
the
ecosystem
and
then
near
as
an
ecosystem
has
way
better
depths
than
everyone
else,
and
the
value
is
going
to
cascade
and
add
from
there
right
that
I
think,
has
been
embodied
most
by
the
the
win
and
help
win.
Saying
that
I
I
heard
it
first
from
biology,
but
it's
pretty
widespread
across
crypto.
B
It
basically
goes
like
this
bring
as
many
people
into
the
ecosys
into
crypto,
as
you
can
get
them
into
the
space.
With
the
mindset
of
you're
gonna
make
money,
you're
gonna
find
meaning
you're
going
to
find
some
really
cool
products,
there's
going
to
be
crazy
amounts
of
opportunity,
but
it's
going
to
take
a
little
while
because
you
have
to
learn
and
you
have
to
meet
people-
and
you
have
to
familiarize
yourself,
but
once
you've
made
it
once
you're.
B
I
think
at
least
you
have
an
obligation
to
to
do
a
service
to
the
rest
of
the
industry
and
and
bring
other
people
in
with
that
same
mindset
right,
so
that
we
keep
the
whole
space
fresh
and
filtered
and
with
you
know,
people
who
want
to
help
other
people-
and
it
doesn't
turn
into
this
like
inward.
Looking
consulting
basis
of
oh
I'll,
do
something
for
this
much.
Otherwise.
You
know
leave
me
alone.
So
this
is
this
personally
is,
is
my
point
of
of
pride
for
near
we've.
B
We've
built
a
lot,
we've
done
a
lot,
but
what
I
enjoy
more
than
anything
is
the
fact
that,
like
we've
been
able
to
bring
everybody
along
so
remember
jack,
you
just
saw
talk,
foliage
mozzie,
who
you
saw
talk
sophia?
Who
did
the
entry
point
so
well
sue
pretty
much.
We've
we've
probably
brought
in
two
dozen
people
who
love
this
world
and
I
think
for
me,
that's
what
makes
this
space
super
awesome
and
super
valuable.
Is
you
really
see
people
change
their
attitude
about
how
they
approach
the
world?
B
You
see
people
change
their
attitude
about
how
they
think
of
work
right,
they're,
not
only
thinking
about
money,
they're
thinking
about
collaborative
benefits,
right
launching
things
and
making
money
for
a
group
of
people
and
doing
things
together
and
there's
there's
some
good
stories
in
in
here
along
the
way,
because
we
moved
around
a
lot
with
some
of
these
people.
So
that's
that's
the
fourth
step,
meaning
travel
wise.
So
so
that's
the
fourth
step,
just
to
kind
of
summarize,
you
know
bring
whatever
skill
set
you
have.
B
It
doesn't
really
matter
build
as
big
a
network
as
possible,
be
as
friendly
as
possible
work
and
be
ready
to
execute,
be
ready
to
deliver,
get
as
much
done
as
you
can.
You
know,
burn
the
midnight
oil,
even
when
you
don't
have
to
because
people
notice
and
it
helps
you
in
the
long
run
and
then
bring
as
many
people
along
as
possible
and
try
to
make
it
so
that
everybody
can
win.
B
And
on
that
final
point
you
know,
composability,
I
think,
is
what's
going
to
make
a
single
l1
ecosystem
thrive
right
when
my
game
can
talk
to
your
dow,
which
can
invest
in
this
nft
marketplace
and
that
can
yield
something
from
this
d5
product
and
that
you
know
funds
the
sending
of
a
message
between
another
person
that
composability
stack
only
happens
when
people
work
together.
So
the
in
terms
of
where
these
ecosystems
are
going.
B
So
final
point-
and
this
is
a
personal
pet
peeve
of
mine,
because
I
think
that
a
lot
of
times
you
know-
p
founders
and
people
show
up
with
lots
of
really
ambitious
ideas,
and
you
know
at
least
for
me
this
was
the
case,
but
also
for
other
people.
I
know
there's
kind
of
a
tendency
to
be
like
no
don't
be
creative
and
don't
be
ambitious
right.
You,
it's
gonna,
take
a
lot
of
work.
B
It
then
put
everything
in
make
it
happen
right
and
and
let's,
let's
incentivize
and
inspire
people
instead
of
telling
them
that
they're
not
good
enough
or
they
don't
know
what
they're
doing
right.
I
I
think
that's,
I
think,
that's
stupid
so
anyway
be
ambitious,
be
creative
and
jump
into
the
near
ecosystem,
because
this
is
year
one
right.
We
got
like
10
more
years
of
doing
this,
and
it's
just
so
you
get
better
and
better
and
better
each
year
so
get
in
now.
B
If
you
want
to
make
a
lot
of
friends
have
a
great
time-
and
you
know,
do
some
cool,
so
thanks
everybody,
that's
it.
