Today marks a proof point for market access on BNB. $BNC reflects the growing connection between public capital markets and onchain finance. Public market investors can now gain exposure to the BNB ecosystem through a familiar corporate structure.

Our role here at BNB is to continue to deliver robust infra that allows capital to reach the most amount of users and to create opportunities for institutions to distribute and projects to build.

Congratulations to @odagius , @cz_binance and @ellazhang516 .

BNB Seoul was the place to be 🇰🇷

We gathered the ecosystem under one roof to talk about what’s next onchain, from more assets to stronger infrastructure for the next wave of users.

None of this happens without the people who keep building and showing up.

Till next time, Seoul 🫰

The most valuable asset on Earth is a myth about leaving it.

I want to examine SpaceX from the frame of a myth, because that's what it is, and that's why it's valued where it is.

Myths have existed in every human society and are the original algorithms. They capture our collective beliefs and orient them around a worldview.

Greek classics like Prometheus, Pandora, and Icarus all taught us about how the world worked. Unlike logos, the Greek word for plan or reason, which can be falsifiable, myths cannot be disproven because it doesn’t argue...it simply is.

You can disprove “Mars colonization will succeed by 2050” but you cannot disprove “humanity’s destiny is to transcend Earth”. There’s no KPI to validate, there’s just an orientation.

No matter how much of a classical myth’s narration is unbelievable, it is ultimately inevitable.

This is because myths help us understand ourselves in relation to the world against extraordinary circumstances. They both orient and rally us.

SpaceX's mission (per S-1) is “to build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”

It’s not selling you rockets into space, it’s selling you participation in the future of mankind through shareholder equity.

I'm not here to argue whether or not SpaceX's $2T is justified.
I'm here to argue that fundamentals are dead, long live the myth.

What price would you pay for the survival of the human species?
