Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3

In episode 81, we’re excited to welcome Aly Marguerite Neumann, Founder of Fourth Wave DAO, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that will facilitate easy access to decentralized finance protocols so that users can grow their wealth, while also supporting women who are seeking safe reproductive health services, by connecting them with a decentralized network of helpers. We discuss how blockchain can be used to help protect reproductive rights, how they’re using web3 tools to build a decentralized network of support for women in need, their innovative governance model, and why web3 is much better than web2 for building movements of change.

Three Key Takeaways

• Blockchain can create safer, more secure ways to provide support to individuals in need, especially as it pertains to sensitive matters like reproductive health.
• Web3 provides a more empowering way to build movements of change that puts the power in the hands of the community, as opposed to venture capitalists and centralized institutions.
• Web3 tools can be used to build on the foundations of web2 movements, such as Auntie networks, to make them more inclusive, safe, and decentralized.

In episode 77, we’re excited to welcome Paige Donner, Co-Founder of FrontierDAO, a web3 collective with a mission to fund research and innovation in science, fusion energy, engineering, and space exploration. They believe that web3 holds the key to unlocking massive advancements in these areas, all driven by the power of community.

In this episode we discuss how web3 can help democratize scientific research, how DAOs and NFTs will revolutionize the scientific process, the exciting world of Decentralized Science, and much more.

Three Key Takeaways

• DAOs will disrupt traditional funding mechanisms in science by giving communities the ability to invest directly in research projects that are important to them and share in the benefits of its commercialization.
• IPNFTs allow scientists to tokenize their research on-chain, as an NFT, to retain ownership over their work while allowing the community to share in the value of open-source research.
• Web3 will shift the power in scientific research and exploration away from centralized institutions, such as large academic journals and research institutions, and into the hands of scientists and the community. Web3 gives power to individuals to own a piece of the future.

In episode 76 we’re excited to welcome Dave Grannan, Founder of DVL.DGS, an NFT project using the power of web3 to support veterans and service members in the areas of suicide prevention, access to quality healthcare, sexual violence prevention, homelessness, and education and financial literacy, with 100% of proceeds from sales supporting these causes. Dave is a Serial Entrepreneur, veteran, and web3 evangelist, combining his experience in tech and passion for supporting service members into DVL.DGS.

In this episode we discuss how they are using NFTs to support veterans causes and build a community of support for service members, how crypto and NFTs will positively disrupt charitable giving, DAOs and community governance, and much more!

Three Key Takeaways

• The support services for veterans and service members in the US are broken. Veterans and service members suffer disproportionate rates of homelessness, suicide, and mental illness, and creative approaches to addressing these issues are needed.
• Crypto and NFTs should be embraced by the charitable sector as they allow for a greater degree to transparency and trust by allowing for an open and trustless system of giving.
• NFTs allow individuals to support causes they care about while being able to receive something tangible in return, an NFT, to commemorate their donation.
