Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are entities that run on blockchains, make decisions collectively and probably never meet face to face. It's like corporations run over Discord, or as if Facebook Groups had money to spend. Priyanka Desai and Aaron Wright have started several for-profit DAOs that invest in companies and digital art via their startup OpenLaw and Illia Polosukhin, a co-founder of a blockchain called NEAR, is creating a sort of congress of DAOs in his ecosystem.

Is one person's scam another person's legitimate enterprise. This is a hard question once you get into examples in regular life, but crypto makes it much more complicated. We discuss these questions with two people who have been in the space a long time: Lana Swartz is a scholar of media studies at the University of Virginia who is known for writing about money as a social network. Her studies of money have led her to be interested in scams and what it means to scam. If scam studies become a topic at universities, she will be its progenitor. Patrick Murck is an affiliate at the Berkman Klein Law Center and also the chief legal officer at Transparent Systems. Murck also served at the Bitcoin Foundation early on.
