Did you form a DAO without registering an entity? You are likely personally liable if you did. 

Even if you registered an entity like an LLC for your DAO, you very likely are going to face regulatory compliance issues if you haven't had legal help to navigate.

The regulatory picture in the US for DAOs is murky at best, but there is one way to make things potentially clearer and safer for everyone involved. Cooperatives have been around for a very long time and are an excellent match to many of the DAOs that exist today. In this episode attorneys Yev and Jacqueline that are experts in cooperative and crypto regulatory compliance make the case that a cooperative registration in Colorado may be a superior way to setup a DAO. 

Besides being a strong philosophical match for the purpose of DAOs, they can also provide securities exemptions and more. We get into the how and why of cooperatives.

Awesome episode where XBT3D (Sean) explains in great detail how we probably aren't done with downward pressure on price and backs it up with market data and analysis. Do not miss the wisdom.

Is this the first truly decentralized stablecoin?

Radically decentralized DYAD may just solve the problem we've had with getting to an algorithmic stablecoin that is fundamentally decentralized and actually stable.

$ETH & $BTC still toying with a move up, but voices of doom are expecting a massive crash to $300 or $400 for ETH

This is a really big deal... @getswype launches fiat integration with @GnosisSafe. DAOs can now initiate wire/ACH payments on chain via governance through an insured virtual account. This solves a huge problem.
