Ep. 49 - Don't Piss On Me and Tell Me It Is Raining w. Jared & Joe, RLO + Shard Dog
Some of the things we cover:
* State of the NDC - airing and listing grievances from a Builder's perspective (Diving deeper into The Viral Tweet).
* Anatomy of a Revolution: AVB got sacrificed first for speaking out, now moderates are coming forward with a silent majority behind us.
* What happens when a chain's main product become's governance? Incentive design. Admins overpowering the will of Builder's in what was once a Builder's Blockchain.
* Ideological Battles: the Socialists versus the Meritocrats (UBI takeover of NDC, Builder's)
* NDC Shift from token holder voting to Any Human voting - questionable measures put in place that results in lack of confidence from OGs to run.
* Many ways in which contributors that are critical of NDC are ignored, written off and increasingly targeted. Scope creep ('misconduct' now a common threat to anyone who dares to dissent).
* Technology winning *despite* governance - similarities between Venezuela and NEAR governance.
* Key differences between building a Product - must solve a problem for people, be validated or die -, and Governance - the product is to build moats to stay in power.
* Jared & Joe's life before NEAR - learning about the value of money by hustling and grinding in the real world: past businesses, startup ventures (both successful and unsuccessful), and more!
* On creating a culture of self-improvement and excellent. Mentoring builders and developers.
* and more!
