Can you short real life? That’s the idea behind Futarchy. By applying financial logic and smart contracts to ordinary life, you can create prediction markets that help people create better decisions. Today Proph3t of MetaDAO joins the Gwart show to discuss what Futarchy is, how it relates to DAO governance for projects like DeFi, where the tokens are at and if traditional entrepreneurs could thrive in a world where DAOs run the ship.
