This week, after a a few delays, I was finally able to interview a couple of the masterminds behind DisCO (Distributed Cooperative Organization). I spoke to Stacco Troncoso (@StaccoP2P) and Natalia Avlona who are both members of the crew working on DisCO, also called DisCONAUTS.
A DisCO is an alternative / critique / complement to DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) that focuses more on P2P/commons, cooperatives, and feminist economics. During the interview we cover what some of these concepts mean, the differences between the politics of DisCOs and DAOs, and their experience with working in a DisCO. To learn more about DisCOs, check out their very well written DisCO Manifesto.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
