'We're Freaking DAOing It': The People Who Think DAOs Are the Future of Work
DAOs structure is empowering, invigorating and a natural fit for our fluid work-from-home schedules. The community owned element allow everyone to âfeel like a founder.â
DAOs are a new way for people to organize and get paid for âbuilding cool stuffâ with the flexibility unrivaled by traditional jobs.
Job and salary instability, financial speculation and erosion of free-time are issues that DAO contributors are currently facing.
Web3 Social Landscape
web3 Social (articleâs term not mine) creates a user-centric model which allows users own their identity, data, and the content they create for apps and protocols.
Check out the article for a great list of investment and social DAO to investigate đđđ
NFTs Are the Future of Ticketing
Tickets are Inherently Non-Fungible and sentimental (people keep to remember the unique experience).
NFTs allow for event hosts to control the experience and prevent fraud
Many additional ticketing features can be built on NFTs that traditional tickets cannot provide and build utility for ticket holders both before, during and after the event.
DAOs Arenât A Fad â Theyâre AÂ Platform
By using tokens, DAOs can efficiently allow votes, empower profit sharing and, crucially, supply liquidity, as tokens can be bought and sold.
Members of DAOs can ârage quitâ when they are not satisfied with the direction of the DAO. Allow members to be able to leave at anytime insures members are always aligned to the mission.
How big can DAOs get? âThe global money management industry now tends more than $100 trillion in assets, and Syndicate cofounder Ian Lee predicts DAOs will hold at least 2% of that in 10 years, increasingly moving into big money pools like stocks and real estate.â

đ Podcast of the week
Chase Chapman interview on This Week in DAOs
Each day feel like being a founder even even though she is working across 3 separate DAOs.
Difficulties of doing deep working by focusing on one thing when working across multiple DAOs.
Gets inspiration from looking at successful organizational and learning their mental models of running a business.
DAOs should governances and ownership by giving contributors more voting power. Sushi which had many governance issues in the past because the majority of the governance power is allocated to token owners, not contributors.
