nobody has asked "why would they mint"
everyone wants more minters
"come help us, come mint"
"look, we did a (small) version of X, Y, Z, Q"
things that expand that discussion
so I want to do, within the amount of capital we can use this year
and say "ok, that is fun (or not), but who cares"
it lokos like we are messing around with collectibles basically
but to their eyes
it is actually remarkable that we can curate a meme card collection with people who dont know each other
and I say "look at this thing we have done"
I ask myself: I am talking to a powerful/important/sophisticated crypto or tech person
proxy TDH
@[GelatoGenesis] marking proxy rep discussion start point
i ask myself
i want to give you a view through my eyes
which is why i keep encouraging people to do things
for this to matter, there need to be many initiatives
This is true but we need “small“ experts having their voices in specific things (blockchain infrastructure, other tech stuffs for example)
ok, fine, but this is not societally important
if we stay as we are, it is like we are running a small art publisher together
otherwise it is not societally important
this only matters if we can do an arbitrarily large number of things
which will naturally centralize to the 2-3-4 people in the DAO most energeticc
as "we are buying xcopy NFTs"
and that may not centralize as much
etc etc etc
also a pizza dough
but also a nature preserve
and maybe generative art
yes, ok we can pick meme cards
this is what I want to push us to do
is that we do many different things
i think what may be different here
repeat
"we are all going to make decisions together"
"2-3 people do most of the work"
"others proxy to them"
...
...
"why is our system so centralized"
very common DAO pattern
there is no permanent right answer
the direct democracy vs representative democracy 'battle' is eternal
1/ this will happen
2/ obviously when this happens, the accusation will be that they are a 'cabal' :)
it also can allow for smaller factions to proxt their TDH and join together for bigger voice
this is the other side of it
this was the idea with proxy rep
let's more people participate at scale
it mitigates some of the concern on tdh concentration too
i got the picture; no need for further details; @[simo] and @[GelatoGenesis] can think through the details and see what they propose
Right, but it's a big thing it would need punks input I already see so many small things we have to make sure don't get messed up by doing it
but they may have the expertise
the art curators of the moma may not have (definitely do not have) the capital to purchase the moma's new acquisition
it is good bc it separates capital from expertise like the real world
she is pumped about it.. it is very cool expereince so far
speaking of keys and gates, I would love to see a few more that are actually on-theme
but not nothing
not quite the same vibe
