Paul, co-founder of FOMO, addressed criticisms of the platform's focus on meme coins, stating that their vision extends beyond what is seen on social media. He explained that FOMO aims to become the "social graph of all of finance" by simplifying on-chain trading and discovery, making it accessible to everyone.
“And everyone's trying to build these skewmorphic applications, like what's built Twitter on-chain, but the real main use cases are like the global distribution. And this is why all these apps are building tokenized equities, so you can globally distribute. Second, it's the largest social network ever created. It's fully transparent. And everyone has access to every single transaction that's ever been created in the system. But it's just optiscated by these alpha-numeric strings and these, and these like clunky block explorers, right? So if we can create an experience that's super easy to onboard that anyone can use, that you can create an identity through natural language around, whether it's Tarun, Naseeb, Tom, um, whether it's some pseudonym, you could be fully anonymous, but get full transparency into what you're doing. Then hopefully eventually as we have stocks, and then we have big markets, and then we have all these other asset classes, we become the social graph of all of finance.”
“And I'm not going to make a normative judgment on these asset classes, like I think people should be able to trade whatever they want. I actually think it's really fun and a really cool concept. Um, but the overall vision of the platform is a lot larger than you might see in some of the public discourse on Twitter.”
