Jesse is learning CHINESE with AI so he can talk to traders about Base “And so that just really stuck with me, and over the last two or three weeks, I’ve just been spending more time with those folks, trying to speak a little Chinese on the internet, thanks to AI, which I can now do, and just figuring out what folks are interested in, where they’re seeing energy. And I think it’s exciting to see people start to turn the corner on Base and feel like, oh whoa, there’s trading opportunities here, there’s opportunities to make money. And I think that one of the things that may kind of cement that is, we’ve had a lot of memes culturally that I think have originated in Western communities on Base. They’re in English, they’re primarily English memes. I’m excited for us to see…” @jessepollak is actively learning CHINESE in order to onboard Asia to @Base 😳

How did Jesse react to the first memecoin going live on @base? “It was the Saturday before the network was supposed to launch, and someone messaged me and they said, there’s a meme coin on base and it’s going up. It’s bald:native, it’s after Brian. And I remember my first reaction being like, whoa, like this is out of my control, this was not part of the plan. And it went up and it went down and there was, you know, drama and there was excitement. And I think as I reflect back on that and as I processed it in real time, the thing that I felt was, wow, this is beautiful because when we talk about base and we talk about building a global economy and we talk about permissionless ecosystem, this is before we even have gotten started showing the world that that’s what base is. It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t in our control. It wasn’t a thing where we were like, yeah, this is, this is what we’re going to do. Instead, it was the community, just doing their thing and proving to the world that base wasn’t going to be, you know, a fully controlled, fully permissioned network. Instead, it was going to be open. It was going to be for everyone. And that was a beautiful start.”
