Nouns are dripping in personality making them easy to bond with. Unlike the cartoon pictures that people bonded with growing up
in the late 20th Century, no one owns the Nouns look. That means we all get to enjoy Nouns and can introduce the Nouns to our worldview, create our own stories around them and ultimately help a Noun or two find a home in our little part of the universe.
As you read through the Nouns Almanac, some Nouns might catch your eye. Make a note. Nouns are powerful like that. Beneath the surface, the Nouns have access to an increasingly significant pool of resources to make sure their homes are warm and comfy. While no one owns the Nouns, there are some good people who look after their home on the blockchain.
On each page the current Noun owner is shown. Their job is to provide a home for a Noun in their digital wallet. The Noun owner doesn't have any rights to what the Noun wears or looks like, nor do they care. Instead, they embrace anyone sharing their Noun with as many people as possible. Because no ones personality can be owned, Nouns are an embodiment of that culture that we are all free beings.
You can find each Noun at the Nouns owner address. Sometimes we know who looks after the Noun, other times the Nouns owner prefers to stay in the background. The owner often looks after the Noun from the day it is born for the rest of its life. Sometimes a Noun might move to a new address on the blockchain as a warmer and comfier space opens up.
None of this is to say that Nouns don't have significant resources and power. In fact one day, we believe they will be the most powerful cartoon characters on the planet. Every day, another Noun joins the community. In ten years, there will be almost 4,000 Nouns. In three thousand years, there will be over one million Nouns.
