So excited and hopeful to potentially collaborate with y'all.
@allmodelsRwrong i wrote up a temp check for a @gitcoin x @breadcoop collab: an artizen-inspired crowdfunding app people can actually trust.View quoted post on X
we'd keep the fun parts (up to 4x match, leaderboards, fiat ux) and rebuild what sits underneath:
- match on-chain + visible before a round opens
- match funded only from yield that already accrued
- principal locked in a permanent fund
- no single person can stop payouts
- round rules in the contracts, changeable only for future rounds
thousands of ppl just learned what matching feels like, then what losing it feels like. i'd love to catch them while they're still energized.
you've lived this harder than i have (bread got caught in it too). where's the design wrong, and what would the mvp need for you to trust it with your own community?

another good mental model is Nate haggins superorganism thesis. Less dark than nick land, more grounded in energy physics
also worth reading Schmatenberger’s critique of the progress narrative.
the question of whether capital progress/development has been good or bad depends on the aperture of your attention imo. development has been really bad if you’ve been on the receiving end of a imperialist crusade. it’s been net good for the median American in the second half of 20th century. anyone who’s generalizing into “all development gud” or “all bad” is over generalizing imo
we should be able to critique with nuance and and orientation towards shared understanding!
Exhausting and useless purity testing with no understanding of tactics and political capital or awareness of how vulnerable left-wing politics is within that context. You want Zohran to put an easy target on himself? What's the long term goal? How will it impact the agenda?
At this point, DSA should remove him from the organization. It would be pretty easy given he is in violation of R22, if I'm not mistaken. If he isn't going to submit to the demands of the movement, he should face consequences.View quoted post on X
So sad hearing that @Artizen is shutting down. It was such an inspiring and hopeful community. Of course people are all left with many questions. As @breadcoop we also stand at the frontlines of those attempting to create regenerative change.
Today's news of @Artizen folding is an awful shock. Funding regenerative projects has always been incredibly hard because people who most want to enact change often do not have purchasing power to match.
Quadratic & matching funding met this need, Artizen seemed to show promise but we're back to square one. Projects have been promised their funds back back without any of the matching amounts, and also minus the platform fees.
It's a damn shame, situation still ongoing. If you had a fund on there and a community that you rallied to the cause we need to document it all. @breadcoop @RegenCoordinate @gardens_fund @tdfinyourdreams @crypto4commonsView quoted post on X
