DAOn the Rabbit Hole

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking to Yury Lifshits from SuperDAO to dive into the complex topic of DAOs. SuperDAO is the ‘Shopify of DAOs’ allowing users to start, manage, and grow their own DAO, so we would consider Yury an expert on the subject, and the perfect person to answer our questions.

We kickoff our conversation by laying some groundwork and answering the highly memed question, “what is a DAO?” Yury explains several common definitions of DAOs and describes what a DAO means to him. We then get into the different types of DAOs, different DAO structures, challenges that DAOs are facing, and how they are solving those problems.

Next, we talk about the logistics of working for a DAO. We discuss the benefits and the downsides of untraditional, part time, fluid work models and how DAOs can incentivize contributors to continue contributing. We talk about subDAOs, scaling DAOs, and the benefits of becoming a DAO.

Finally, we close out our conversation looking to the future of DAOs and web3 in general, as Yury predicts that the DAO economy will one day surpass that of some nations.

In this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking to Jarrod Dicker. He’s a partner at TCG, where he focuses on investments in Web 3.0, blockchain, and other technologies that connect fans with creators.

We talk about how Web 3.0 looks set to change things for content creators and for the economy, the internet, and our lives in general.

Jarrod talks about his experiences getting into crypto from a background in media. He breaks down some common ideas and topics like decentralization, DeFi, and the decentralized web, and what kinds of problems these technologies solve.

We discuss why making money as a content creator online is so difficult on the traditional web, and how Web 3.0 is changing that. Jarrod also shares some of the disadvantages and dangers of decentralization, and how we can be aware of those risks.

Finally, we talk about the future. What’s going to happen to traditional big tech companies? Will decentralization wipe them out or force a radical rethink of how the tech industry operates? And are we approaching the point where decentralization will really start to break into the consumer market?
