The age of living DAOngerously: Going free solo with DAOs

Since the early days, going back to some of Vitalik’s and his crypto forebears’ conceptual posts on DAOs, the idea of a decentralized, automated organization has held wide appeal within the community.

Visiting Argentina the weekend before Milei was voted in

View to the English Clock Tower from the Plaza San Martín, Buenos Aires, on my evening stroll in early November 2023 (Source: own archive).I arrived Buenos Aires from Canada on Wednesday 8 November 2023 via São Paulo, the time of year when the northern hemisphere turns towards winter but the south is in full spring. Buenos Aires is a city I know well and love deeply from a previous live, back in the late '90s when I went to learn Spanish there and visited friends I studied with in London. I'v...

Sovereignty on Blockchain: Towards Escape Velocity from the Nation State

11 JUNE 2020 – Many things we accept as norm may prove the exception against the larger narrative of history. Pax Americana may turn out a brief period of relative stability and open seas before internecine conflicts and piracy resume; The Chinese Communist Party an authoritarian aberration against a secular movement towards a democratic Middle Kingdom; Central Bank fiat money a deviation from centuries of privately-issued coins. So it may be with sovereignty, which we have come to accept ema...

It’s Governance, Stupid! A School for the Study of Decentralized Governance

31 JANUARY 2020 – Exactly a week ago I was at the George Soros dinner there together with gathered media and Soros Foundation beneficiaries and staff. At the dinner, Soros announced USD 1 billion for a new “Open Society University Network” (OSUN) and we all got a copy of his latest book as a freebee. At 89, Soros remains dedicated to his lifelong cause for Open Societies. He called OSUN’s efforts to combat authoritarian governments “the most important project of my life” and hopes to ”see it ...

As the last of its 10 theses for 2021, author Ryan Selkis mentions the “ultimate exit”: how to rebuild a “crypto-inspired nation-state”. The potential for blockchains to disrupt the Nation State resonates with a talk I did back in May 2018 at EDCON in Toronto when announcing the Ethscape project (which has since suffered from severe parental negl...
