head of apac @fomo

[brian @brianhong]

i’ve joined @fomo to lead apac.

too many of the best trading ideas in the world never leave the language they were written in. i want to change that.

a trader in seoul and a trader in new york can follow the same asset for months without ever coming across each other’s work. they see the same price, but the ideas behind their trades stay in separate circles, shaped by language, local communities and feeds that only show them who they already follow.

i’ve spent nearly a decade bridging products, services and information between east and west. products cross borders easily now. ideas don’t, and i see it most in markets.

some of the highest-upside ideas i’ve come across stay in one language, seen by one community.

that’s strange, because money is the one language everyone speaks. everything is being financialized, yet the conversation about it keeps splitting into smaller rooms. social platforms have built graphs around friends, interests and careers. plenty have tried to build one around finance, a place where traders trade, share what they see, and discover what others are seeing. none has really stuck.

fomo was the first product that made me think this could change. after years of being the bridge myself, i was using an app where the border wasn’t there. no chains or bridges to think about. one market, as global and open as blockchains were always meant to be. the feed shows what people are actually buying, and a trade needs no translation. a good idea from seoul could reach new york on its own, and the credit stayed with whoever had it.

that feeling hasn’t faded. i believe in where fomo is going and in the people building it, and now i get to help grow a product i already spend my days on.

apac is where this matters most, and it isn’t one place. language, culture and platforms change from country to country, and most of what happens here lives in pockets of community the rest of the world never sees. bringing in users is only part of the job. the bigger part is getting the ideas the world hasn’t seen yet onto the same graph, through the one thing we all share.

if you’re a trader, a whale, a creator or a chain builder in the region, my dms are open.
