She said this back in 2014, before anyone in this group was even paying attention to Web3: "Change the way people think and do."
Now that same person runs a 3,500+ member community across 25+ countries.
Nicole just did a full interview with Ergomania and honestly, this is one of the more visionary reads on Web3 and Southeast Asia we have seen from her.

APAC DAO's got a full week at Conviction 2026 this August, worth blocking your calendar for.
Nicole's speaking at both Conviction 2026 (14 Aug) and HSC Conference (15 Aug). And since we're all going to be in HCMC that week anyway, we're hosting two evenings for the community too.
Builders Happy Hour (14 Aug), with ETHGlobal, Utila, and Unlimit — drinks, a real hands-on workshop, and networking that doesn't feel lik…

APAC DAO would love to share some genuinely sharp payments takes after EPAA Connect last week - worth a read if you're in fintech/Web3.

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
