If you're like me and you're already missing onchain summer, here's a lil something for ya
Welcome to 🌴Oasis🌴

Dear NFT artists, if people are attacking you, don't waste your time. Tag me in, and I'll tag in other collectors if necessary.
We'll defend you.

Note: this is for DAO tools specifically, not DAOs themselves (unless of course the goal of your DAO is to provide tools!)

DAOs don't only represent a new way to organize, they show us a more human way to work together.
Our language should reflect that - we should treat DAOs more like organisms and habitats than like businesses.
We need to develop an ecology of DAOs.

The core tenet of Leftism: The workers/creators should own the means of production
Western leftists today: it's a good thing that open source devs didn't make a dime from literally inventing the web
You wanna know how much money Tim Berners Lee made from inventing the web? It was $0. Show me a crypto project where the people working on it make absolutely nothing. They don't hold X% of the tokens, they aren't earning mining fees, they're just making a useful thing.

Alright folks, I give up.
NFTs are really bad. Everytime you make an NFT it kills 10 squirrels. If you make 6 NFTs the planet melts 10 times over.
We're all dead right now actually, the NFTs killed us.
Twitter's good though of course, their servers run on pixie dust.

One of my constant worries about this space is how overwhelmingly US-centric it continues to be.
Genuinely think we should be pushing crypto culture to be as global as possible *now*, not doubling down on such an American focus

The Caribbean needs crypto for so many reasons, but crypto needs better ambassadors
Who'd be down for a January event in The Bahamas (ground zero for this cycle) focused on consumer crypto & public goods?
More focus on things regular people can use and less focus on raw finance

I can get a loan in crypto without being discriminated against for the color of my skin OR for being in a country that the financial system simply doesn't like.

Art is labor. I don't care what anyone says.
And it saddens me that many people (including, apparently, many artists) seem to think otherwise.
Watching someone reject a movement that could potentially free them is incredibly depressing.

Genuinely think all-in-one DAO tools are ngmi
There's so many niches and verticals that will be left out no matter what - and that's a problem for new communities
Composability is absolutely key for DAOs and will always reign supreme

I'm gonna say this once and then never again
Fund people and orgs that are working tirelessly to onboard underserved communities and global South communities and persecuted communities
If we can't at least do that, then we will never fulfill our goals in Web3

Loving all the DAO skepticism lately.
The "DAOs can't work" sentiment is at an all time high, meanwhile so many of us are building incredible things within these structures.
Keep it coming though, we work best when we're underestimated.
14
12
164
When it comes to DAOs, it's extremely important that we guide, not gatekeep.
We are stewards, not authorities.
Don't get trapped by your own perspective - humility, openness, and grace are always key.

"DAO Ecology" as a new field of study
DAOs as an interconnected ecosystem, like a rainforest or mycelial network where the "roots" are intertwined (DAO2DAO)
DAOs as the new social networks where we organize, work, and vibe✨

Hi everyone, I wanted to thank everyone for the constant love and support i’ve been receiving ever since the beginning. Currently, i’m trying to answer to as many of you as possible, however, scrolling through my notifications is hard. I’m being bullied everywhere by NFTers. 1/

There's a timeline where DAOs become little more than freelancer farms
If that happens, we've lost.
DAO contributors aren't just workers, they're community members that are also fully part of the organization itself
The toolings that understand this will be most effective

I think we should be a bit wary on gatekeeping what is and isn't a DAO
Call out bad behavior ofc, but also be open minded if something doesn't look exactly like your preferred DAO structure
Soon we'll see DAOs based on different cultures that may look very different to DAOs now

It's happening even quicker than expected.
NFTs open up entirely new avenues for research funding, independent of publishers etc, where science, medical, and other research orgs won't have to rely as much on grants or bureaucratic processes.
The possibilities are endless.

As we push to bring more people in the global South into Web3, we're going to need more open discussions about things that legitimately spread adoption vs things that are really just colonialism.

There's an endless variety of economic and political forms that have existed throughout human history, many of which were quite radical.
The idea that we can't reasonably fathom or fight for new forms now, with so much technology at our disposable, is incredibly defeatist.

So quick heads up, this is 100% false.
Most of historical human society was built on cooperation and mutual aid.
Please read 'The Dawn of Everything' by Graeber. Please read 'Mutual Aid' by Kropotkin.
@AbhinandanShah
Humans are hardwired by evolution to be a social species with hierarchical structure. This includes hardwired drives for dominance or submission.
AI assistants will simply have hardwired drives to submit and not dominate.

If you work in crypto, this is the most important chart you'll ever read
If you hate crypto, this is the most important chart you'll ever read
Both for the same reason: look outside of your own geographic circle before you make any judgments or decisions
These 15 countries (those with the highest % of crypto users) have a combined population of ~2.37 billion people, or about a third of humanity

A lot of people are leaving Web2 jobs to dive into Web3. This is great, but we need it to happen in even larger waves.
Web2/Big Tech isn't just nearing obsoletion, it's also largely harmful to society.

It's clear that hosting Web3 infrastructure in the US & EU is becoming more and more of a risk.

Most of the confusion around leadership vs hierarchy in DAOs was already answered by Bakunin in 1871:
"Therefore there is no fixed and constant authority, but a continual exchange of mutual, temporary, and, above all, voluntary authority and subordination."
