@PicturesByLily Actually, I don't recall which metro station it was. So I don't know where I've been。😅

Good Morning

There's a tree in a forest that nobody asks anything of.

It has been there over a hundred years. It watched the people who planted it arrive, and it watched their grandchildren leave. It holds no grudge and no nostalgia. It grows upward because that's the only thing it knows how to do, and it doesn't need anyone to look.

The ground below is dark and worn. Plenty of people have stopped here, taken a photo, said "so big" and moved on. The tree doesn't change because of it. The trunk is the color of something that has endured and never tried to hide it.

I shot it from below, looking up, because that's where it makes sense. From above it's just another tree. From below you can see what it costs to stay standing that long in one place, without moving, without adapting to what's trending, without being anything else.

I stayed a while. Nothing special happened. That was the point.

When did you last stand still in front of something that asked nothing of you?

After 5+ years, we're winding down POAP.

Over the years, we:
* minted millions of collectibles across hundreds of communities.
* did incredible collaborations with world-class organizations - Coinbase, Amex, WMG, Bayer, and a long tail of others, including countless in crypto.
* ran one of the biggest activations at Devcon, minting 8000+ collectibles over the course of a week.
* built an Airport Rally to let collectors get POAPs at airports around the world.

POAP meant something to a lot of people.

Unfortunately, crypto's funding cycles and distribution dynamics made it hard to build a sustainable company without cannibalizing the ethos that made POAP mean something. Building on a fragile and quickly evolving stack, in the middle of an incredible hype cycle, only added to the challenges.

Still, there are some big lessons I am carrying from the POAP story.

First: Customer communities are the most undervalued asset a company can have. If you build something with soul, people who use it and love it will take your brand everywhere. Do not underestimate the power of customer communities.

Second: Connection is still the point. It's easy to lose that thread when the conversation is about the latest bubbly tech or price speculation, but the people using POAPs at events, in classrooms, at hackathons were getting something real out of it.

Third: Longevity and brand equity are the only moats left. With the time to building and shipping something new collapsing quickly, and distribution becoming increasingly an engineering problem, customers increasingly want to make sure they can trust that the things they are buying will grow and evolve with the market, without changing radically.

Grateful for everyone who believed in what we were building. It's too soon for me to say what's next, but for now, I'm thinking a lot about what GTM looks like in the age of AI.
