![]() Years ago, I think the economist, they’re late to the game, but they did a cover about bitcoin and Ethereum, cryptos, unicorns it’s like magic internet money. ![]() And when Bitcoin was created, it was quite literally magic internet money. In the very beginning, it was magic internet money, right? Like Bitcoin was magic internet money. So we have this sort of like history of primitives that was necessary. ![]() I can’t send you an email, certainly in 2007, that says, “Hey Adam, here’s a dollar,” right? So money is like the only human concept that really can’t be transmitted natively on the internet, and machines can’t natively transact with one another. You know, “Dear Adam, how I love you and miss you signed yours forever, Tally.” Right? You’ll get the email, and you’ll feel loved, right? I’ve sent love to you in an email. Like I can send you a letter and transmit my love for you. So I think about this a lot, and my sort of philosophy around it, or the way I like to think about, and I talked about this a lot there was an article a long time ago that said, “you don’t understand Bitcoin because you think money is real.” That is, I think probably the best way to sort of wrap your head around crypto from the beginning anyway, that money is kind of the only human concept that’s not native to the internet. What led that transition of it no longer being the weird kids club to the cool kids club? Magic Internet Money, Organization, & Society Everything’s magical internet money, magical internet art, selling JPEGs, and then all of a sudden, it’s the future. Like, so suddenly you go from a world where everything is crazy that you’re doing. Almost all of crypto history, we’re just crazy, and then one day suddenly we weren’t crazy anymore, right? Like Snoop Dogg is buying NFTs, and you just think, wow, all right, that happened. It’s kind of awesome to have been in the space long enough to sort of recognize it’s only been the past couple of years that we weren’t the crazies. Although up until the recent history, you sort of mentioned that DAOs are like the hot thing, I think crypto’s the hot thing now. But the biggest thing I was before full-time, I was a fashion photographer for a very long time and had a creative technology company that really worked on helping fashion brands be more modern and, in some cases, even actually try and sell them on blockchain for supply chain solutions. Those are like the early post-Satoshi crypto days. I entered the space in 2011, 2012, actually ran one of the first Bitcoin exchanges in the Czech Republic in 2012, and then did a whole. I haven’t always been in DAOs, although I have kind of always been in a crypto. So we are really building a lot of this tooling, trying to give insight into communities, help people participate, drive participation, help people build functional DAOs, sort of all that. DAOs are critical to the future, but there’s a lot of tooling necessary to make that work. We believe that governance is critical to the future. Basically, our goal is to make on-chain governance. I’m CEO and co-founder of Tally, and we are DAO tooling and a dashboard provider. Who are you, what were you doing before crypto, and what are you doing now?
