I just created the channel /cooperatives to talk and debate about co-ops and social economy! And perhaps maybe even doing some cool experiments 👀 Feel free to join!

@vitalik.eth I know you’ve explored various social and economic experiments with Glen Weyl, so I wanted to ask your opinion: Do you think blockchain technology could enable a more effective model to disrupt traditional cooperative funding (often quite boomer and stuck in outdated frameworks) and accelerate the cooperative economy? Funding common good with donations and quadratic funding is cool, but I feel we’re missing an opportunity to build relevant and sustainable cooperative funding. Related 👇

One thing I find lacking in the cooperative economy is more effective funding mechanisms compared with the amount of funding opportunities and accelerators available to capitalist companies. In many countries, traditional funding systems for coops are broken, and cooperatives often miss out on access to risk capital, which is also crucial to innovate and grow imo. There have been experiments, like revenue-based financing and models from VCs such as Indie.vc (which no longer exists), that explored alternatives but non of these experiences, afaik, has gained widespread recognition and use yet. I should probably write about it one day.

A really great and in-depth article on the Mondragon cooperative group. Social and economic experiments like this one should be taught not just in economics faculties, but also in highschools. https://www.elysian.press/p/mondragon-as-the-new-city-state

Is there a way to remove accounts from the first page of the Warpcast app? I have an account that no longer exists, but I can't delete it from there. And I've also reached the maximum number of accounts allowed. As a result, when I try to use a new account, the app doesn't store it, and I have to log in with the seed each time. cc/ @dwr.eth

We just added Liquid Vote delegation to Votecaster.io This means that DAO members delegate their voting power to someone they trust, and the delegate can pass the aggregated voting power on to others, creating a chain of trusted voters. This is how it works 👇

This article deserves to be in /anthropology. Really interesting break-down on the for-profit city of Próspera in Honduras, in which different social experiments are being developed.

I want to know what the sentiment on this topic is here. Should cities be driven by the common good or by profit? Only the followers of /network-states channel can vote https://frame.vote/mYLYXrwd

Really interesting and in-depth article. I’ve been reading about for-profit cities for a couple of years now, and the concept just sounds really wrong to me. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/magazine/prospera-honduras-crypto.html

One thing I like about the US is that is a land where it's easier to start your own community and explore different political, economic, and social ways of organize. There’s more room for experimentation and alternative ways of doing you life thanks to less bureaucracy, special considerations for minorities and tools like homeschooling or the freedom that communities in places like Appalachia have to self-organize. Of course it has its downsides, like the rise of sects, but imo, the benefits outweigh the cons. On the other hand, while the European Union has brought many benefits, it has also introduced a lot of bureaucracy and homogenization, which has limited a lot the ability to live and organize life in diversity.

Each time I scroll and cast on Farcaster, I pause for a moment to recognize that, currently, Farcaster is largely an echo chamber. A biased social network with a heavy influence from millennial males raised in western school systems, wealth and cultures where propaganda like the Fukuyama “The End of History” or that all collectivism is bad has heen widely spread to modelate a type of citizen that lacks a lot of knowledge on social arrangements diversity (just see how people is starting to be aware that the way they built cities in US could not be the best for many reasons) I try to remember, also, that there’s a vast world beyond Farcaster’s confines, and our ideas aren’t flawless. We don’t have all the insights to see every problem from a global perspective. I feel frustrated whenever I read oversimplified posts claiming we should put everything onchain, that incentives can solve every social problem, or that poor countries are only poor because of their bad leadership.

Good article with solid critiques to the self-sovereign identity, questioning if it’s really as liberating as it seems. https://generative-identity.org/the-dystopia-of-self-sovereign-identity-ssi/
