In this episode of Cut To The Crypto, we’re talking to Gian Volpicelli, Senior Writer at WIRED, where he covers topics like cryptocurrency, decentralization, politics, and tech regulation — making him a perfect fit for the podcast. Today we’re asking the question, “What is the promise of DAOs within politics and governance?”
Gian talks about how DAOs work — what they are, how they’re organized, and the technology behind them. We discuss two famous DAOs, the Constitution DAO and the recent Ukrainian fundraising DAO.
We talk about whether DAOs can ever replace traditional systems of government and organization, as well as things like charities and crowdfunding. Gian also shares what he thinks could be some unintended consequences of DAOs to watch out for. Finally, we chat about whether DAOs could bring more people into politics by lowering barriers to entry.
