You cannot wait for someone to tell you what to work on in a DAO You will wait forever 1. Go to open calls + introduce yourself 2. Listen for what the DAO needs 3. Step up and take action It’s going to be uncomfortable at first, but you’ll find where you fit in

I don't know who needs to hear this but you do not need to be technical to add value in web3

Most DAOs will fail, just as most startups fail Stop looking at failures as evidence that DAOs won’t work Start looking at failures as opportunities to learn + build better systems

DAOs are hard to build because we're using the wrong mental models Stop using: - Decentralized protocols - Permissionless networks Start using: - Self-managing orgs - Sociocracy - Co-ops The human layer requires different mental models than the computational layer

Lots of DAOs are realizing that huge contributor communities are expensive + slow They'll be replaced by small core teams + highly specialized service DAOs

very excited to share that I've joined @Uniswap 🦄 over the last few years, I've spent a ton of time thinking about how crypto will get into the hands of real people for all of the talk about consumer crypto, we have yet to meaningfully bring crypto to consumers

Society has not taught most of us to be owners We've learned how to be users, consumers, and employees – but seldom owners Web3 requires a new curriculum

In web3, culture is everything In a world where everything can be copied or forked Culture is the best moat

Half of the struggle being a DAO contributor is figuring out wtf is going on Bullish DAO tools that help contributors gain context

A couple months ago, I got my haircut My stylist asked me what I do for work, and we started chatting about crypto He said something that I haven't been able to get out of my head

Most DAOs grow way too fast Why? Because they onboard everyone who wants to contribute Imagine if a startup hired everyone who wanted to work there

In DAOs, we often conflate leadership with centralization The reality is decentralization comes from having many leaders, not zero leaders To optimize for decentralization, DAOs need to create many pathways for contributors to become leaders
