For DAOs to thrive they need: . 1. More leadership. 2. More structure. (My non-consensus take of the day).

Those watching the NFT space from the sidelines only see a sliver of what's happening. (Usually just price and extreme takes). Those in the arena see much more. There's community, connection, creativity, experimentation, uncertainty, wishful thinking and opportunity.

Creators dont want to be traded like stocks. They want the economic tools to grow their impact and value. They want to reward and include their fans. They want more freedom. We donβt need creator stock markets. We need creator empowering digital orgs.

People underestimate how much work goes into "managing" a DAO. Regardless of how much one works in public, there are countless hours of calls and DMs that go unseen. To those of you managing DAOs, I see you. Keep hustling. That invisible work is valued and valuable. π±.

We have work to do. For many of us Web 3 is a solution to the problems the current centralize internet has created. For many more itβs an mlm scam full of shitty jpegs that burn the earth. Itβs on us to prove the optimistic future. We have work to do. π±.

The @base go to market is basically @farcaster_xyz . 30k + channel members and an absurdly engaged developer base. Most things built on FC are using base. Think this will turn out to be a very smart move.

Zora OP drama makes me think most ppl are minting / creating to get an airdrop, not because minting / collecting is valuable in and of itself. Bad take?.

As much as Discord is a stressful pile of hot garbage, it is pretty amazing to have access to the inner workings of numerous multi-million dollar communities all in one app. There's a hive of activity happening behind each little sidebar avatar and that's fucking cool.

Don't confuse building an audience with building a community. Audience building focuses on distribution and scalability. Community building focuses on interaction and meaning. The right community building actions will feel unscalable. Thats fine. Distribution will come.

Be wary of anyone telling you how DAOs are "supposed to be". > 5 members or 5 million. > Leaderless or leader-ful. > Closed or open. We're figuring out how to build new, lasting digital organizations. There will be many ways to do it right.

Running a DAO? Hire a Scribe. DAOs are full of busy people who want to help but don't know how to. It's a distribution of information problem. Scribes:. ποΈTake call notes.π¨Summarize gov. discussions. π¬Manage governance channels (discord / twitter). π±.

There will be (at least) two types of Social Tokens. 1. Social tokens as loyalty points, . &. 2. Social tokens as community ownership. Loyalty points will be first, but community ownership will be worth billions.

Your company will have an NFT manager. Like blogs, newsletters or Twitter accounts, in 5 years every company will have an NFT strategy as part of its media mix. @ourZORA will be the @WordPress of Web 3.0. (Most wonβt do it well, but theyβll have one).

DAO onboarding is less of a technical challenge and more of a social one. - Where do I start? .- How do I fit in? .- Who can I trust? .- Do I really have value to offer?. We've got work to do.
