So when insane people in crypto talk fear monger about communism, which type of communism are they talking about?
Which type is infiltrating ethereum? I'd love to know.

in reality all economies are planned, it's just that "free market" ones are planning for scarcity
they make jobs, food, housing,and much more scarce on purpose for a select few to control the majority

In Thailand I spoke to Florian Glatz, probably the first crypto focused lawyer in Europe and possibly the world and co-founder of Common Ground, an on-chain social network. Florian also helped author some part of the MiCA legislation in the EU which lays out the legal framework for cryptocurrences.
We spoke about his experiences in the early days of the ICO boom, the unpreparedness of the legal system for crypto, and how Common Ground is leading the way for fairer ways to do ICOs.

Happy New Years everyone 🎉 Looking forward to an exciting 2025 with all of you. We have a lot of plans for this year!
For a start, I just made a proposal on Gardens for 1Hive to start holding BREAD! 🍞 1Hive has a significant treasury on Gnosis Chain and it'd be great to get them to get the org as an Angel Minter 😇
Please vote if you have HNY or swap for some HNY on any DEXs on Gnosis Chain so you can join the 1Hive Gardens and take part in the conviction voting proposal process 🙂

To finish off the year I spoke again with @chainleft, a pioneer in the on-chain art world and my online dopple ganger. We spoke about his newly released piece Crimson Echo (codename: Blood Journey) which is “A generative film, built by Ethereum Virtual Machine, compressed and stored fully on Ethereum, exploring how stories emerge through permanent acts of individual and collective conscience.”
Be sure to be a part of the on-chain history being made to show that you did not support the ongoing genocide in Gaza. By taking part in the mint, you are supported ETH Evacuations and the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

Also want to stress that this is free money. You can still claim by just holding 100 BREAD :)
You can either bake it: app.breadchain.xyz
And/Or bridge to gnosis chain: app.debridge.finance
We need another 9 claims in the next 5 hours!

AIRDROP ALERT FOR BREAD HOLDERS
Check out the Breadchain page on Common Ground to claim some $CG tokens!
BREAD holders qualify for an airdrop on Common Ground which is a project founded by my friend Florian Glatz (podcast interview coming soon)! But in order to get the airdrop to come out at all we need at least 50 people in the community to claim to be able to get any airdrop. It's possible to simply bake BREAD then claim though in case you don't have any and so you can share with your networks to get the airdrop! You just need the minimum amount of BREAD.
It pays to show solidarity 😎

How to live as a Post-Capitalist✨
While in Thailand during the Funding the Commons design jam, I spoke to Tony Lai a co-steward of Mothertree Labs, founder of the Blockchain Group at CodeX Stanford and an Edmund Hillary Fellow.
We spoke about Tony's interest in embodying being a post-capitalist, Buddhist vs. Christian imagery, as well as his recent trip to Bhutan where he and others advised on a new ecological special economic zone initiative funded by the bitcoin they've been accumulating. And no it has nothing to do with network states thankfully.

First Podcast from Devcon!🎉
Imagining Post-Capitalism through World Building ✨
I spoke to Susanne Aichele from Mothertree Labs during the Funding the Commons design jam about the individualist ideology most common behind narratives in crypto and how to do it differently.
We spoke about Susanne's previous documentary The Ways of the DAOs (2022), how to approach narratives from a post-capitalist lens and whether Breadchain is doing a good job at this!

Last week we completed our 6th voting cycle for Breadchain!
First off, we distributed 2,304 BREAD, a new record for the most amount of BREAD we've had after one month!
This is thanks not only to the higher DSR we're getting in these market conditions but also the increase in BREAD TVL we've seen thanks to our latest Angel Minters 😇
For this cycle the Breadchain Core team won the most votes with Labor DAO in 2nd and Symbiota Coop in 3rd!
Thank you to everyone who shared their voice and voted on the yield distribution🎊

Trump won and there's no doubt that Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and crypto prediction markets played a role even though Democrats did everything they could to lose it seems.

A few days ago I gave a presentation in Bangkok at Funding the Commons to describe how to fund your commons with an aligned community (w/o VC) as well as a new program we're starting at Breadchain Cooperative🍞
Introducing ANGEL MINTERS😇
TLDR; We’re inviting aligned individuals and organizations to mint a minimum of 10,000 BREAD by the end of 2024 to help bootstrap the Breadchain ecosystem. Your contribution will enable us to build essential infrastructure and applications for a post-capitalist Web3 and you / your organization will join the first Angel Minter’s cohort. This mint is low risk and always fully backed—your xDAI can be reclaimed anytime, while helping to accumulate low-risk, stable funding for the ecosystem through sDAI yield. You can think of it as a lossless donation. 🍞 ⛓️
If you're aligned in minting $10k then check out the full documentation here 🔽

Is crypto a scam or FINDOM fetish?
There seems to be an ever increasingly thin line between crypto, scams, and financial domination.
