Becoming the youngest bar owner in San Francisco at 22, Manzi went on to create a robotic FedEx-like printing office with his company INK and later launch Beyond Protocol, a blockchain that styles itself as the “internet” for…

How do you DAO? Can DAOs scale and other burning questions – Cointelegraph Magazine

[ad_1] DAO: Decentralized. Autonomous. Organization. “The whole phrase is a misnomer. They’re not decentralized, not autonomous and they are not organizations,” Monsterplay blockchain consultancy founder David Freuden tells Magazine. Freuden co-authored a 51-page report on DAOs in May 2020 in an attempt to help realize their potential. “We need DAOs,” he explains. “The idea of ‘shareholder first’ is only a 1980s/1990s concept. Companies became about profits, not products.” He foresaw big things for DAOs and much has changed nearly two years later. By the end of 2021, DAOs had more than…

Powers On… The SEC takes reactionary moves against crypto lending – Cointelegraph Magazine

[ad_1] It is unfortunate that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has chosen to send a message to the crypto industry by extracting a huge $100 million settlement from the lending platform BlockFi in an administrative proceeding publicly announced on Feb. 14. It was quite a Valentine’s Day kiss — $50 million for the SEC and $50 million for some 32 states that piled on because they saw an easy target.

Are DAOs the new corporate paradigm? – Cointelegraph Magazine

[ad_1] In 1602, the Dutch East India Company was formed in what many consider the world’s first initial public offering — allowing perfect strangers to share in stock ownership. Four centuries later, the joint-stock model — especially its incarnation as the modern business “corporation” — sets the pace for much of the economic world. But, decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, could soon disrupt the joint-stock capitalized business model, much as the Dutch East India supplanted the limited partnerships of its day — or so some may say. “DAOs are the…

Building communities or building problems? – Cointelegraph Magazine

[ad_1] Recent research shows that decentralized exchanges that distribute tokens via airdrops see a big boost in user numbers and transactions. But, is building communities this way just crypto’s version of printing money? Airdrops — the disbursal of free tokens to early users as a way of rewarding and building momentum — have been around for years but came to prominence thanks to Uniswap’s retroactive largesse in 2020. Nearly anyone who’d used the exchange before a certain date was gifted 400 UNI tokens and those who held their tokens saw…
