🗣️ Tweets

Eshita @eshita

in theory, the idea of contributing to several DAOs at once is attractive however, every full-time DAO contributor i've spoken to usually spends all their time making meaningful contributions to only ONE DAO

Aaron Wright @awrigh01

The TAM for DAOs is huge: - funds (hedge, PE, and VCs) - organizations (corps, LLCs, coops, etc.), and - governments (in the longer run) It's nuts.

Tyler Reynolds @tbr90

Prediction: As DAOs become more powerful & common, regular token holders are going to quickly understand why CEOs of billion dollar companies get 8 figure salaries + 9 figure equity packages DAOs ultimately attract & keep the skill level they pay for

Jeff Dorman, CFA @jdorman81

Clearly, there have been internal issues at $SUSHI. Today @arca is releasing a re-structuring proposal of Sushi-Core to address this, & the lack of transparency, so SUSHI can scale & continue to ship world class community-owned DeFi products. Thread 👇 https://t.co/ukTb4x4kxC
