Just last week I was talking with a woman in rural Rajasthan who accesses a blockchain-based microfinance platform. She has no interest in “DeFi” or “smart contracts.” What’s important to her is that it lets her borrow money at a reasonable interest rate and start a small business to help...
Just picture a world where you truly own your health data—not an anonymous, profit-seeking entity. A future where research is focused on the needs of your community, not the next blockbuster drug that enriches Big Pharma. Sounds like science fiction? Think again. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are poised to revolutionize...
The buzz surrounding the applications of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to healthcare is hitting a tidal wave crescendo. Proponents explore inflammation and depict a utopian vision of a transparent, patient-centric, blockchain-enabled healthcare ecosystem. Let’s pump the brakes. To be sure, before we all start celebrating DAOs as the answer to...

The promise of quick riches is intoxicating. But before you douse your hard-earned greenbacks on the next cat-related crypto, let’s hit...

Now, picture that world where your voice actually counts. Not merely as loose change, but as a reflection of the rich reality of the political power. DAO-Democracy, leveraged with tokenized voting, provides a powerful avenue to that reality, particularly for those communities historically marginalized and muted. It’s more than adopting...
The potential of blockchain was never intended to be an incremental evolution, but rather a beneficial disruption. Trying to apply it to democracy with DAO-Democracy requires serious skepticism. We’re not just discussing replacing ballot boxes with blockchains and political donations with token purchases. Before we uncritically embrace this digital frontier,...
