DAO Governance Is Not Like Sex
One of the great joys of DAO life is that you get to raise your hand to help with things you don’t have time for but are passionate about. Although I spend most of my time in the cryptoverse writing and shipping, I’m a total governance nerd. In fact, some of my frens know when I was a teenager I used to take notes during the State of the Union address, an annual presidential rite of political theater in the United States. There’s nerd, and then whatever I am.https://www.pinterest.com/pin/2412...

A Weekend of DeBased Degenerative Cryptoeconomics
This had to be one of the craziest weekends in crypto, and I’m not even talking about all of the Vyper code exploits, the potential for a CRV detonator to set off a chain-reaction nuclear disaster throughout DeFi, or long overdue lawsuits against big-name scammers whose heart definitely has no PULSE and whose name rhymes with Bitchard Tart. Nope, I’m talking about the blind hand of one of the sketchiest fuckers in crypto allegedly getting straight Based, and not in a good way, leaving utter a...

Optimism Synthesizes a New Economic Paradigm
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” ― Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations“The time during which the labourer works, is the time during which the capitalist consumes the labour-power he has purchased of him.” ― Karl Marx, Das Kapital“[I]mpact=profit [is] the principle that positive impact to the collective should be rewarded with profit to the individual.” — The Optimism CollectiveIt’s n...

RPCs and Me
We all know how MetaMask and other web3 wallets work, right? You just download the extension or app, set up a wallet and add some ETH, and you’re off to the blockchain-based races. It’s just that easy, right? Well, sorta. But if part of the reason you’re here is that you’re interested in pseudonymous financial transactions, owning and controlling your data, and otherwise vibing with the web3 ethos, I have some news for you. If you care about pseudonymity and protecting your personal data, you...

She-Ra Proves Vitalik Can Time Travel
If you have kids, you invariably hear something like this: “Hey dad, where did cars come from”? You can replace the word ‘car’ with nearly anything else, and the core question really becomes “Where do ideas come from”? We have a lot of names for where ideas come from - inspiration or the muse come readily to mind. But what about the ether? Ether was the term used by the Greeks to describe the mysterious force that binds the universe together, a layer of magic over the otherwise material world...
