If you’re tweeting about what counts / doesn’t count as a DAO…bad take

I think we (the crypto community) needs to distinguish DAOs from DOs in our regular parlance There are not that many DAOs: most layer 1s, loot, nouns, Graph, etc (there is some variance in how DAO-y these are) There are many DOs: FWB, Pleasur, Flamingo, YGG, Salad, etc

For the past couple months I've been on a journey to better understand what makes a DAO a DAO After several false starts, I've recently had a breakthrough that I want to share This thread represents my current best thinking. Here we go!

We need to move the web3 narrative beyond exclusivity + flexing In 10 years, people won't buy NFTs to flex They'll buy NFTs because it gives them the ability to govern + co-create digital spaces they care about This is why most digital communities will become DAOs
