For this Patreon-exclusive episode, I discuss my views on the relationship between blockchain and cooperatives. The latest patron poll showed that people were really interested in this topic, which was very cool to see as I’ve had many people in the cooperatives space on the podcast in the past.
During this episode I give a quick summary of cooperatives, platform coops, and DAOs, then give my analysis of how they intersect, and provide some “proto-cooperative” behavior I’ve noticed in the DAO space so far. I think it’s very obvious at this point that the blockchain space has a lot of implications for cooperatives especially in terms of making tools that can make coops as competitive as traditional corporations. There is an opportunity for the left to get involved at this particular intersection that may be awkward at first, but I think could be a very fruitful engagement as long as we stick to our principles.
Be sure to let me know if there are any other questions or topics you’d like me to tackle in the future. Next week I’ll be attending the Crypto Commons Gathering in person with a lot of very interesting people, some of whom I’ve already interviewed, which will have a viewing link at some point if you want to watch it. Or let me know if you’re attending!
