The Anarchist Case for DAOs
Show Notes

For this interview I spoke to @againstutopia he's known as on anarchist and crypto Twitter. He has a background in working in tech, platform cooperatives, and is one of the stewards of PrimeDAO. We  had followed each other online but finally had the opportunity to meet in person during The DAOist in Lisbon a few months ago.

During the interview we discuss why he thinks the anarchist community is split on crypto, the interesting DAO tools being built at PrimeDAO for DAO2DAO interactions, and the limitations of criticizing technology from an ideological lens instead of speaking to the practice of how it's used. We also talk a bit about regenerative finance,  why he's become "cosmos-pilled", and his new podcast on the ownership economy.
