The world is shifting fast now. Where to look? What to do? You wanna be in the heat of it. Fun. Rich. Bitcoin. Metaverse. But in real life, you are struggling. Appartments become too expensive. You have to work impossibly long hours to earn enough money for basic life. Let alone the life you dream of.

The rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. And ouch, you feel that.

Well, don’t despair. The world is still full of infinite possibilities. But you have to know where to look and what to put your energy in. Because we wanna be relevant to our times, yes? Be important for evolution somehow.

A young friend of mine and her husband have thought about moving in with his parents. Putting all their money in Bitcoin. And then, when they have become rich, they’ll buy a nice place for themselves and their young son.

So, that’s why I write this story. To tell you what’s really happening in the world of digital money. To tell you about the infinite possibilities of DAOs.

Even the big banks are writing about DAOs nowadays. Billionaires like Mark Cuban and venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) are finally starting to see what my friends and I in the undercurrent have already predicted for a long time.

DAOs might change everything!


    Speculation

Bitcoins are volatile. We all know that by now. You can get filthy rich! You can lose everything! And everything in between. I have seen some beautiful examples of people who got really rich with Bitcoin, bought themselves a place on Mallorca, and started a great permaculture retreat.

They manage to live their dream.

But then, this couple is not an example for all of you. The young guy in the couple is an IT specialist who entered the scene very early with 100 dollars. For him, it was easy to follow the trends. He was interested anyway. It didn’t cost him valuable time or effort.

I have seen the other side too. People who put all their money in and after Elon Musk sent some tweets lost it all due to volatility. Bitcoins and many other cryptos are hypes. And that’s not bad. It’s just what it is. It will evolve into something new and better.

If you are attached to the outcome of what happens to the money you put in, it will give you loads of stress. But then, you might enjoy the rollercoaster and will be able to keep out the fear. Speaking for myself, I would never be able to keep the stress out of my body.

But I can’t see your life. Your life is up to you.

What is my personal money rule in life? I never invest any money I need for our basic needs. I only invest the money I can miss if it goes wrong. It saves me shitloads of stress. And we all know how a relaxed body is the first thing you need for the law of infinite possibilities.

Think about the valuable time that you spend looking at these fluctuating figures while you could have been out there with your friends. Having fun. I know what I choose. Girls just wanna have fun, remember? Well, grandmas with messy hair and dirty feet just wanna have fun too.

For my life as a nomad, fun is mighty important.


    Progression

And be honest. You do have an idea what’s happening in the world, don’t you? Did you already see that we’re shifting at this moment in evolutionary time from central control and power games to decentralized systems? So your community can decide for itself if you want to issue basic incomes or not?

Going decentralized is the trend. Maybe you want to buy an apartment block and go live as big families of young, adventurous people? Tap into the fun together?

Jean-Loïck Michaux creates all Serendipia Nests like this. He started out in San Francisco. He deeply felt the ouch of “I’m broke in the real world”. And then he felt “hey, I can do something about it with my friends, festivals, and digital money”.

I helped him write his life story some time ago when he turned 30. What a young boy’s dream… Look for his story online. It might give you clues for your own life too.

Bitcoin, cryptos, and blockchain are only the beginning. Everything starts from there and moves on. That’s evolution. And my, we’re going fast! I love it! So, just to get you up to speed, a small update on what I see happening in the world.


    What are DAOs?

The name DAO means Decentralized Autonomous Organization. DAOs can have many shapes and structures, but they have something in common: a DAO is an internet community with a shared bank account.

DAOs have been around for a while in the world of collectibles. See it as a big crowdfund for a shared mission. People buy a painting for many millions and together, they decide how to make the rules so the whole group can enjoy its ownership.

Well, lately, the billionaires are starting to see what my friends in the undercurrent of world change have already seen for a bit longer. DAOs can be the ultimate combination of capitalism and love.

Lately, a number of DAOs have started to grab the attention of more conventional investors, including billionaire Mark Cuban, who called them “the ultimate combination of capitalism and progressivism.” — CNBC

DAOs will change the world for all people! And even for all species in Nature. They can become owners too. But that’s for another story.


    Imagination

Of course, there’s a difference between DAOs to invest in when you have lots of money and are an investor. But those mighty rich ones are not the people in my audience. I’m not rich. My passion is freedom.

And I’m writing for people who are not rich either. But they do have dreams and passions. What I like about DAOs is that they give limitless possibilities for communities.

What can YOU do with DAOs? Well, that’s for you to decide. I cannot see from here what your passions are. What you want to do in the world. What your dream is about your legacy. How you want to be remembered by future generations. We’re all different!

But you do have your power of imagination. And I just planted one little seed in your imagination. DAOs. Now, add your passion and start walking. Have a look at the seed. Water it. Observe how the little seed starts to germinate.

Go, look online for inspiration from awesome projects using DAOs for passions. Everything can be found online these days. You don’t have to do a course or study hard.

If you like this story, there must be something about this topic for you. And only you know what it is. Explore. It’s fun to explore… Can you find crowdfunds using DAOs? Can you find an apartment in your city using DAOs? Can you enjoy life better using DAOs?

The world is full of infinite possibilities. Start walking and you’ll find out.

For me, it’s easy, I must confess. My friend Anna Blume is the co-founder of a DAO of DAOs, called The Value Instrument. And we meet each other often now that we both landed in Greece as digital nomads.

She does warn me though that DAOs aren’t all just fun and love. Technologies always have benefits and shadow sides. Always! That’s why conscious implementation is so important. With DAOs, the shadow side is located in the currencies under the DAO and the system of governance.

You can imagine if one person has more power than others in a DAO, the D of decentralized starts to crumble…

I will learn more about DAOs and keep you informed on my progress. I’m close to the fire. And I just love the heat. It gets my passions burning!

And now I’m just mighty curious. What do you see on the subject of cryptos and DAOs? Tell us. Let’s talk…
