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.

Are DAOs the new corporate paradigm? – Cointelegraph Magazine

Four centuries later, the joint-stock model — especially its incarnation as the modern business “corporation” — sets the pace for much of the economic world.
