Last year we published a paper that has been hidden behind paywalls, the pdf is now available on my website:
It is one of the first peer-reviewed academic articles in the field of communications and cultural studies on Ethereum ideologies.
This month
@ConsenSys
has banned Farsi-speaking students from the academy &
@gitcoin
has taken down the grant to support free
@solidity_lang
course material for Farsi communities.
Where is decentralization and inclusivity in Web3 &
@ethereum
? 😡
Dear Ethereum, I have a research question: history has repeatedly shown that democratic technologies get destroyed by capitalism (ie. Internet). Why do you think it’s going to be different this time?
Today I finally became a PhD Candidate! ✨
Few months turned into 1.5 years due to life's obstacles but here I am.
Success isn't linear. Keep pushing towards your dreams and beliefs, but above all, always stay kind to urself and others along the way 🫶💚
I'm excited to share that my new paper on Ethereum and Californian Ideology is finally published in
@IJoC_USC
! 🙌 🥳🎉
Congrats to all co-authors
@tamigraph
@frizzbarks
for pushing through it 🦾
and special thanks to

for the support.
🚨ConsenSys academy just suspended 50 Iranian scholars from the ethereum developer boot camp mid semester. This is discrimination. ENOUGH with unbanking the banked! Help the UNBANKED!! 🚨
This year, I've witnessed countless individuals in the industry going through severe mental breakdowns. Some have sacrificed a lot to keep pushing the envelope. This ecosystem doesn't just run on gas, it runs on passion. Protect your ❤️&🧠
Wishing everyone a nourishing 2024🤗✨

The Farsi Solidity course has begun and will continue for the next two months (2 classes per week).
The goal is to empower the young generation of developers and give them the tools to participate in online hackathons by the first day of spring 2022

Hello World!
با سلام به همه دوستان علاقمند علم و دانش
امروز شروع دوره #آموزش #برنامهنویسی #قراردادهوشمند با #سالیدیتی کلید زده شد.
معرفی و مشخصات دوره توسعه بلاکچین و قراردادهوشمند:
ویدیو آشنایی با دوره و معرفی اساتید:
We're excited to announce
@VitalikButerin
and
@post_polar_
at afk.
They will be discussing crypto culture and values, and how to preserve these when creating a culture of openness to scale to mainstream.
Imagine you are a young student, gone through a selection process, did a preliminary course to prove yourself, get accepted and mid semester you are suspended because you live in a specific geographical location.
How does that make you feel?
Find me with this charm at
#DevConBogota
to learn about the events happening in Iran and how you can support women’s rights
If you r at
#devconVI
and talking about public goods, privacy, and inclusion and you’re not discussing what’s happening in Iran you are missing the point
Everyone wants anarchistic structures free from state control but not the arduous labour of self-governance that comes with it. If you want freedom, you gotta do the work.
Some DeFi protocols that behave like DAOs are in fact just regular companies with governance practices
What are some of the more obscure DeFi DAOs out there that people don't talk about enough?
Friends, excited to share some news with you all!
I've been working hard with the team over at
@StableLab
for the past few months to create a new tool for establishing Governance Standards in the DAO space.
FINALLY,
@DAOmeter
is here! 🙌🥳👇
Regrettably, I will not be attending EthCC this year but I’m looking forward to next year to present a complete published paper on the Organizational Culture of Ethereum
Have fun in Paris folks🇫🇷🫶
Fun fact: according to David Graeber, many enlightenment thinkers insisted that their ideas of individual liberty and political equality were inspired by Native American sources.
Who is looking at indigenous forms of governance in the DAO space? 👀🌱
First academic conference experienced ✅ 🧑🎓
I enjoyed presenting my PhD research and teaching about Public Goods & DAOs at Congress 2024

This is what I’ve been saying all along.
Who has been silenced with “good vibes”? How many people have had to conform to a culture of “good vibes” against speaking their truth?
Vibes is no longer a crypto’s problem - it’s everyone’s problem now.
I'm convinced 100% good vibes only people have some unhealed trauma and aren't strong enough to deal with a dash of normal negativity here & there. Self-protection mechanisms, would prefer avoiding emotional evolution vs. growing more resilient to co-exist with all vibes.

Fun fact 🧐
The word "incentive" does not appear in any of the writing of: John Locke, Bernard Mandeville, Adam Smith, David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, John Stuart Mill and the authors of the Federalist Papers.
It was never initially a market thing.
The Reserve team and community are coming in HOT to

So excited to meet and connect with all of the villagers working to raise a decentralized monetary system 🤝
Connect with Reserve at the events below! ⤵️
I believe that having access to decentralized finance should be a universal right. This is a cause that is very dear to me. Let's help ensure that blockchain education stays free and accessible to all humans.

My thoughts are with Ukraine and my family who lives there 🇺🇦💔
There is nothing more atrocious than war because it is a few people deciding the fate (live or die) of an entire population….
Thrilled to collab with
@polarpunklabs
on another cultural paper on Ethereum
Luv studying this community because:
⚖️We are privileged enough to have our own guiding ideologies
🧙♀️Memes and humour thrive
⚡️Weekend work hustle
Big thnx to
@ethereum
for enabling the research 🫶
Crypto academics need to remember they play a pivotal role at academic conferences. It's not merely about disseminating research, it's also about the narrative you put out there about Crypto. The real art lies in changing minds.
Today I started my Phd and I’m going to be spending the next six years of my life studying
#blockchain
❤️🤓😉 not a dev, there are other folks in the field that care
#dedication
When we talk about "banking the unbanked" we often neglect to specify who they are. Please help decentralized finance truly live up to its potential by donating to a project that empowers Farsi-speaking women and other Farsi speaking individuals. 🙏
Ok this might seem like a dumb and abstract question but:
1. how is the free-rider problem actually being addressed and solved by Regen economics in practice?

closing ceremony. Ethereum is a community in every way made up of people with different motives but are united via the philosophy of decentralization. Thank you Ethereum, it’s been real ✌️🙏

Blockchain people prize themselves on thinking “globally” but the truth of the matter is very few consider Internet infrastructure problems outside the western context. It’s just not sexy or profitable...libertarianism is a western concept.
We all talk about censorship resistance technology, banking the unbanked, etc
#web3
How would you solve internet shutdown? Are we all delusional in our comfy western wifi-driven world? What does censorship mean to you?
Hands down this is the best literature I've ever read on blockchain; no fluff, protocol technical complexity made accessible to a wide audience. This book honestly deserves an award for its clear writing. Thank you
@kwerb
🙌
In a series of blog posts, I'll be sharing some literature summaries on books relevant to blockchain and crypto in Communication Studies, STS and Social Science. Here is the first one:
As a Gov Researcher in Web3, I see lack of proper docs as a huge problem in the DeFi space.
DeFi DAOs should not operate as siloed communities. This is why we created
@DAOmeter
A public good, to increase transparency of the DeFi ecosystem 💡⚒️🔍
Do people realize that being exposed to this much dopamine/stimuli everyday in Web3 via Discord, Telegram and X tweets and outlets is just not humane and not how we function as a species? Why Does everything have to be so real-timey all the time?
Peer review is significant in academia, but its unpaid labor, which is challenging in this accelerated age. We need optimized system for peer review to alleviate the constant burden on academics engaging in unpaid labour and experiencing burnout.
