??? The Great MemeCoin Cycle of 2024? ??

Memecoins are just tokenized attention.

And 2024’s Great Memecoin Cycle – let’s call it what it is: pure, unfiltered chaos wrapped in emojis and hype.

Fourteen out of the top 20 coins?

Memecoins - Pepe, BOME, GIGA, POPCAT, SPX6900 – these aren't just tickers; they're monuments to internet culture gone wild. We're talking gains of 50,000% and beyond, leaving serious projects in the dust while speculators laugh their way to the bank.

Or maybe the dumpster fire – time will tell.

Is this good for crypto?

Depends on whom you ask. For the meme crowd, it’s the party of the decade, and they’re cashing in, stacking dopamine hits like coins. But for the folks in the trenches – the builders, the devs pouring sweat into real utility – it’s a slap in the face.

Memecoins dilute the narrative and make the whole space look like a carnival instead of an ecosystem with serious potential.

But maybe that’s the point. Crypto’s always been about shaking up the system, and these cycles show just how easily attention shifts.

Love it or hate it, the Memecoin Cycle is proof that culture drives this space as much as tech.

??? Devcon SEA Heats up Bangkok ??

Devcon 2024 is coming to Bangkok, spotlighting Thailand and the SEA region as a blockchain innovation hub. More than a conference, this is an experience —it’s a playground for tech pioneers, with nearly 400 side events stirring up the local and international Web3 communities.

Devcon's hubs and community-led sessions push blockchain beyond the tech bubble, featuring everything from local projects in the Ethereum SEA Hub to DAO innovations, all in a region ripe for digital expansion.

? Using Web3 to Solve Real-World Problems with Qualoo

The digital landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and at the heart of this transformation is the quest for reliable and accessible internet for all.

Keith Dawson, the founder and CEO of Qualoo Network , recently took center stage to discuss the evolution of internet quality and the pivotal role Qualoo is playing in this journey.

If you missed our latest Twitter Space and webinar, here's a comprehensive rundown.

From Dial-Up to Broadband: The Internet's Evolution

In our recent webinar , with Museigen.io Keith delved into the metamorphosis of internet connectivity. He reminisced about the early days of dial-up, a time when connecting to the internet meant tying up your phone line and enduring the symphony of beeps and static. Fast forward to today, and we have always-on broadband.

Yet, despite these advancements, many users still grapple with inconsistent internet experiences.

The Qualoo Solution: Mapping and Enhancing Internet Quality

Keith highlighted the challenges that persist in the telecommunications sector, emphasizing that merely having internet access isn't enough; the quality of that access is paramount.

This is where Qualoo Network steps in. Leveraging decentralized technology and artificial intelligence, Qualoo aims to map internet quality globally. By identifying dead zones and areas with subpar connectivity, Qualoo is highlighting problems— and driving solutions.

Community Empowerment Through Web3

A significant part of Keith's discussion centered on the transformative potential of Web3 technologies. Web3 isn't just a buzzword; it's a framework for democratization. By involving communities directly, Qualoo empowers users to be part of the solution.

This decentralization ensures that improvements in internet quality are not top-down mandates but collaborative efforts that reflect the needs and inputs of real users.

Weekly Twitter Spaces on X

We're excited to announce that we've resumed our weekly Twitter Spaces on X (formerly Twitter). These sessions are a treasure trove of insights into Qualoo’ s journey, upcoming launches, and developments in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) space.

If you haven't already, catch their recent episode where Keith shares more about Qualoo's mission and vision.

Podcast Episode from Koh Samui

Following Token2049, Keith joined forces with the founders of Hotspotty and DePIN Hub for an in-real-life podcast episode in the picturesque locale of Koh Samui. This wasn't just a normal podcast, but more of a convergence of industry leaders, including IoTeX ’s head of product and other visionaries in the field.

The vibrant setting matched the energy and innovation of the discussions.

Looking Ahead: Major Campaigns and Launches

Keith also shared some exciting news about what's on the horizon for Qualoo . "We're gearing up for a major campaign in collaboration with IoTeX, a leader in the blockchain and IoT space." Additionally, mark your calendars for Q4 of 2024— Qualoo will be launching their mobile app and token (QXT), further cementing their commitment to enhancing internet quality and accessibility for all.

Be Part of the Movement

The journey to a better internet isn't one we can undertake alone.

At Qualoo Network , is not just envisioning a future of superior internet quality—they're building it.

Through innovative technology, community collaboration, and unwavering dedication, Keith and company are turning that vision into reality.

Stay tuned for more updates, and let's shape the future of the internet together.

? Four Types of Human Behavior & How to Effectively Communicate with Each in Start-ups (and in Life) ????????

Ever feel like you're speaking a different language than your co-founder?

Or that your team's dynamics are more chaotic than collaborative?

You're not alone. Miscommunication is one of the biggest hurdles in start-ups, often derailing even the most promising ventures.

But what if understanding the core types of human behavior could transform your team's interactions and boost productivity?

Inspired by Thomas Erikson's insights and a recent Founders Hub Network X Spaces session where Moe Iman(@moeiman ) and Micha? Moneta (@michmoneta ), Leader & Chief Strategy Officer at @OnchainHQ , explored how self-awareness and emotional intelligence can enhance communication within your start-up, your web3 trading journey, and in life.

Let's dive in.

How do we deal with those who are not like us?

The Four Colors of Human Behavior ????????

Thomas Erikson, author of the "Surrounded by" series , categorizes human behavior into four primary types, each associated with a color:

Red (Dominant and Decisive) ??

Natural leaders who are ambitious and goal-oriented. They make quick decisions and aren't afraid to take risks.

Yellow (Optimistic and Social) ??

Creative and enthusiastic communicators who bring energy to the team but may struggle with details.

Green (Calm and Supportive) ??

Patient listeners who value harmony and prefer steady environments. They're the glue holding teams together.

Blue (Analytical and Precise) ??

Detail-oriented thinkers who value accuracy. They can get lost in data and may come off as aloof.

Reflection time ??

What color do you believe you resonate with the most?

Take a moment to self-reflect. ??

Emotional Intelligence: In Leadership & Life

Emotional intelligence (EI) involves recognizing and managing our emotions and those of others—a crucial skill for effective decision-making in high-pressure situations.

During the Founders Hub session, Moe Iman & Micha? Moneta discussed how EI helps leaders remain resilient during crises.

Leaders with high EI navigate tough decisions by:

Self-awareness: Recognizing their emotional triggers and biases.

Empathy: Understanding team members' emotional states.

Resilience: Bouncing back from setbacks without letting emotions cloud judgment.

Cognitive Biases: Your Hidden Influencers

The guys also touched on how cognitive biases are unconscious errors in thinking that affect judgment. This is massively overlooked in the Web3 space, a space where innovation and obstacles come at you at warp speed. In leadership as in life, they can significantly impact decisions.

Understanding and counteracting biases like loss aversion, herd mentality, and anchoring is essential.

Practical techniques include:

Structured Decision-Making: Implementing processes that require thorough analysis.

Data-Driven Approaches: Relying on empirical evidence over gut feelings.

Diverse Teams: Encouraging input from various behavioral types to balance perspectives.

Strategies for Effective Communication

GM - here's how to deal with those on your team, no matter which archetype they belong to.

When Dealing with Reds ??

Be Direct and Concise: Get to the point quickly.

Focus on Results: Highlight how your ideas contribute to goals.

Allow Autonomy: Give them space to lead and make decisions.

When Interacting with Yellows ??

Be Enthusiastic: Match their energy to keep them engaged.

Encourage Creativity: Provide opportunities for brainstorming.

Stay Positive: Avoid negative language that can dampen their spirits.

When Collaborating with Greens ??

Build Trust: Take the time to establish a genuine connection.

Be Patient: They may need more time to adapt to changes.

Provide Support: Offer reassurance during transitions.

When Working with Blues ??

Be Detailed: Provide all necessary information and data.

Respect Their Process: Understand they need time for analysis.

Avoid Surprises: Give advance notice for meetings or changes.

Bringing It All Together ????????

Self-awareness is the cornerstone of effective leadership. By understanding your own behavior type and those of your team, you can tailor communication for maximum impact. Coupled with emotional intelligence and an awareness of cognitive biases, this approach can transform team dynamics and decision-making processes. They often say it takes a village - in this case, under the Erickson theory, it takes a rainbow of assorted colors, and when deployed the right way under the right balance of leadership, self-awareness, and radical candor your team will thrive. Ignore the signs and styles of your co-workers and you'll quickly require a Plan B.

Key Takeaways ??

Emotional Intelligence Enhances Resilience: High EI helps leaders navigate crises effectively.

Self-awareness and Empathy Are Crucial: Understanding yourself and others aids in tough decision-making.

Recognize Cognitive Biases: Being mindful of biases improves leadership effectiveness.

Behavioral Finance Matters: Awareness of psychological influences leads to sound financial decisions.

Prioritize Mental Health: Sleep and well-being directly impact decision quality.
