Our co-founder Josh Davila recently joined the Crypto Altruists hosted by Drew Simon. This is a community platform connecting people building Web3 for social and environmental good. The conversation digs into what it actually takes to build financial infrastructure owned by working people. Among the many topics covered are why Bread Cooperative chose to build without venture capital funding, and how that decision shapes everything at our organisation. The conversation explores how the $BREAD community currency and Solidarity Fund work in practice, and what "solidarity primitives" mean for encoding cooperative values into technical systems.
