Hey GM GM GM GM GM, how you doing? We were talking in the previous one, there's a continuity. Hey, we don't. How was yours?
Oh, were you talking to me?
Oh, we go to the church. No, no, no, I just went to another thing.
Hello hello, can you hear me?
Hey, can you hear me? Hey, now I can hear you. Okay, I'm here to earn about $10.
I'm giving you a very important news that it worth at least $10. You want to bet on that?
Yeah, yeah, why not? Okay, let's do indirect. What should I do? I went to your page, Umberto and the link tree.
I wanted to see your project. I said support on GitKongrants and bam! You have the old link to do your all GitKongrants. So nobody is finding you.
Umberto, did you fainted?
No, I heard like... Can you hear me now?
Yes, I can hear you now. I went to your page, Umberto Bessere. I clicked the link tree because I wanted to see your project and bam, on your link tree there is the old link of the old Gitcoin.
Thanks for the day that's up. Did I earn my ten bucks?
You done hear me? Probably.
I'm not sure. I think I can hear you right now, but you've been off for a while. But now I can hear you clearly. I'm having connectivity issues, it seems, but I got you the part and I will check it after because if I move back to the room where I was, I stop hearing you.
Yeah, don't worry. I was just joking, say either I'm earning my 10 bucks for giving these important information. And this is the way how you know. Oh, sorry. I have to go to dinner. I'll leave you to the space.
Anyway, I don't know if you can... I would like to talk about the project actually about the possibility to travel, but I'm sure if you're here.
- Uh, Proto, are you talking? - Yes.
Here you can hear me from now.
Hey, hey, can anyone hear me? Greenpeel, Rubanica? Okay. Yeah, I hear you. Okay, Rubanica, I want to discuss the project because basically it looks like we should start preparations right now because it will take quite a lot of time to organize.
from my side, all the... oh and by the way to everyone who didn't know, Urbanica is planning a huge trip over Latin America and I was thinking of going to Latin America and to make like a small trip around the countries and today realizing
that it seems like the universe said that we have to go with the body because they're on the trip around the whole Latin America. So I'm really eager to participate and to learn more, to plan right now, no commitments, but I really like the idea. Now it's more of planning.
Hey, I'm going to speak through the Sorapongilka account because Urvanica needs to be in a place where Wi-Fi doesn't stabilize. But yeah, so where are your plans? Where are your needs? We are happy to collab. Maybe
This space-cooled help on talking about the traveling school and the collaborations at Coolgo, even if people do not accompany us in here, maybe some collaborations could happen, because for example, I see Magenta that is here and the Blomness
It's a very interesting project that we are going to promote within our trips and the and trillions also from Jimmy So yeah, maybe much things can happen this trip. So please speak your mind. I just want to say that basically like I'm a novice
and I do not have a place on earth right now that I can say that it's my home right now I'm leaving in the Copenhagen but I have a video here till September and I need to apply for visa extension in June so I just
It's about making it happen, setting the dates, hearing your plans when you plan to start it, how much time you think it'll take. Mostly it's about visas and the overall plan.
And in general, if nothing happens, I think, like I mean, if nothing happens that will change or the plan was right now, I don't know what could happen. Then it's all about just details. So like, when you plan to start and for how long do you think it'll take, like,
What would be the overall process? Like I don't know, you plan to, for example, just it would be great if you could quickly figure the idea like how much time it will, like how you plan to do when you'll visit countries, etc. etc. etc.
You sure? Yes. So the idea is to start in Mexico and to go from where we are, which is the North Center, the place is called Carreta Roo, you can find it in the map like that. And then we will do a round to all North, then
back south from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico is in Atlantic, and then move towards Guatemala, that will be the second country from Latin America to visit, but in Mexico will visit around
around I think 10 cities or maybe a little bit less. I don't remember at the moment the cities I don't have them top of my mind but let me see okay so I am in the roadmap I am the Geetcoin grant page and I see that the first cities are going to be
So, well, there are 40 cities in the wheat plant to visit in Latin America from 20 countries, but these are the
minimum that we want to visit to cover the 20 countries. But if other people invite us to their city and host us for a session with at least five to ten people from that are change makers of policy makers, activists or entrepreneurs,
Then we will go there. So that's the general idea. And at every city, we will host three sessions about post-capitalism blockchain and AI. And these sessions will be educative on these topics.
So we will host a weekend session that will be about, that will be moving nights. So on weekends, we'll have moving nights about provocative topics that we need to discuss, to switch,
to join and to this type of conversations so that people are because we are reaching public parks and neighborhoods and so on. So people, instead of going to the cinema and just watching the next Marvel movie, they can watch something that relates
to them but that this movie most likely won't reach them or they most likely won't reach this kind of media and the topics that we are discussing is about land grabbing, water, all these patents that are
about DNA, plants, music and so on so that people know that there are other ways of behaving other ways of living and that also we are living a big, massive theft from corporate
operations and from our own governments and this is something that happens a lot in Latin America that the governments are making alliances with corporations to take the water from communities and then selling back the water in bottles and this is something that people need to know and understand so
that they can claim. And these are the things that we're doing. Education on one side, moving on the other side, and then meet-tops. And then meet-tops, we imagine them as little fairs that will happen on the streets, on parks, on public spaces that will host
conversations about, for example, regenerative technologies, but also about peer governance, about the topics that we just mentioned, post-capitalism blockchain, NAI and activism, and showcasing NFTs that are truly making an impact and not NFTs
just JPEGs. So in this kind of meetup school showcase the triggians and FTs, the FIGHTERS gang and so many that are within the solar pong guild because these are curated projects that their works are truly
making an impact and are genuinely aiming for doing good instead of just making profits. And well, that's it. What do you think, Rod? Do you have any questions about this? I have a lot of questions because you know it covers like the plan, but
it doesn't cover like how we're gonna live, where we're gonna sleep, how to work like we question it sometime to work and look I'm not complaining I just want to say that I'm quite serious and I'm really interested in all the need to greet the details related to your daily life like we have to go to
to do it, we have to eat food, we have to go wash and we need to place to sleep. So you know, mostly I'm interested in those details, how you envision it. And for how long it will take, for how many months, you think it will take.
So the idea of the boss is that
It is enough for living, but this is talked for two people. And having work stations and to move all these materials and instruments that we need to educate and to have the movement, and so on.
So the movie, how do you call it, the screen, yeah, and the projector and chairs and tables and screens for the NFTs and so on. So everything will be on the bus. But the
And the bus will have these dry toilets, the one dry toilet that is for compost and also the kitchen will go into the compost and so on. So everything should be the most positive climate possible.
But this is talked for a couple, let's say. However, it's cheaper to have a electrical car that is smaller and then we can plan together something that we can have a common infrastructure.
structure that can come with us so that we can have enough space for people or more or that we can have two bosses because so we are thinking that it's about 30,000 dollars to have a complete transformation
between from buying the bus to completely transforming it into a living space and a traveling school. So that's about it. It is not that much if you think the all the things that it is included, but all
I think I can assure you. Can you assure him, Jimmy?
Oh, I cut a little bit there. I just want to say welcome magenta. We got a special guest today from Bloom. How are you doing magenta? Hey guys, I'm doing pretty good. Sorry, I took a minute to get here. I was debugging a thing. I'm
page for which one is currently live. So I'd love to learn a little bit more about your story, but work with Bloom since 2011. That is quite a while. So what first inspired you back in 2011 to get involved with Bloom? Mushrooms made me do it. But seriously,
I was working with a political collective that trains women to be leaders in social movements and especially lifting up the voices of queer women of color because they're kind of experiencing multiple layers of systemic oppression and so they
understand what changes need to be made for everyone to be well. And they kind of were, I was organizing workshops around art and activism. So teaching art skills to activists.
and helping artists get involved in activist projects. And I noticed that there was kind of a lack of trauma healing tools in that collective to be able to move forward. And it was kind of a dimension of these experiences that wasn't really
addressed. And so I started looking around for who is working on that layer or has those kinds of tools and I found plant medicine and eventually indigenous leadership and traditions of that. And I found Bloom as a community that was kind of integrating all of those topics. So
economy and social justice and permaculture and food sovereignty, these kinds of things. So yeah, then I met all the local organizers from other places around the world and I was just like, wow, all right, this is, these people can do anything. And then they were lacking a sustainable financial
model like people were burning out. And so mushrooms and ayahuasca directed me to kind of drop everything and just get these people as a sustainable financial model so that they could be resourced to do the work. And I just lived on gift economy for like seven years and followed that instruction.
Yeah, that would be here. Wow. Yeah, thank you for sharing that. I feel like a lot of people have experienced plant medicines and then have that's kind of shifted their path a little bit to, you know, connecting with nature, supporting whether they feel more connected with it, but we don't really talk about it as much. So, so, could as to you for
talking about that and I'd love to dig into a little bit deeper there but Rod did you want to chime in here? Yeah I just want to say that just for Leimon Copangan and PanGan is a great place to experience a variety of different shamanic experiences so I would encourage everyone to come here
Yeah, you just wanted to add that. Bunga, alright. So, I was a bit in particular. I've only heard people tell me about, "Did you have a shaman involved there?" And so people say it's a pretty intense experience. So what was that
experience like for you said that that was the main thing that shifted your your focus? Yeah that and and mushrooms to kind of both I don't know when you when you work with those are kind of intelligent entities or beings like plants are alive
right and you can learn to communicate with them and those ones in particular are good at communicating with us and helping us learn to communicate with all the other point of life. And yeah, it was incredibly intense. Like would not recommend be very careful, like sit within this
in this lead people don't disrespect their culture and like the whole yeah there's a lot of complexity there. I sat with someone who did not know what they were doing and it was ultimately almost died working with them for a while. It was incredibly intense like I kind of lost the distinction between my physical body
and the earth's body. And I was experiencing all of the ecosystem breakdowns as if that was my own body. And so it was incredibly difficult on my system. I got into a really bad bike accident because I was so disoriented.
And yeah, but that kind of recovering from that being you know out of commission for a while kind of You know put me on the path of being able to or kind of forced to drop everything and focus on Yeah, I had just kind of like a window where I couldn't really work or anything
So like yeah, that's when I started focusing on bloom, but yeah very very intense Dangerous definitely want to say was someone who knows what they're doing Yeah, it's not a recreational thing don't just go out at a party and start taking a Alaska I mean, it's like you got to have a shaman. There's a very important ritual
we got to follow and it's not something that should be messed around with. But yeah, go ahead, Greenville. Yeah, so when talking about psychedelics, I of course have to join in. Thanks for bringing that up into the conversation. So two things. First, I've never done mushrooms, but
Just two days ago I talked to a very good friend of mine and she went to, so she was born in a very Muslim household and then she moved to South America for having one year of living alone and well took mushrooms and now she's like changed, like all changed.
Yeah, and I just even sent her a picture of a bloom and told her that I checked this out. So maybe I'm going to connect you. Still, she's really trying to make a business case of like healing people through mushrooms, breath work and all of that. What I wanted to know is, so I've done LSD, but never mushroom
and maybe she's going to invite me on that and also Bufo, she said, which is like DMT, I don't know about that one, but still I would like to know so you have felt that deep connection to Earth and felt but is scratchy. So I'll I'll experience something similar by
But I would like to know if I wouldn't have known it. So if you wouldn't have known that the ecosystems are dying, do you think you would have still felt that or do you know where this question is ending it? So like, is it a really good answer or is it just like, I'll readizing it.
Yeah, the mind is funny. And I think both mushrooms, all the planet teachers and fungi teachers kind of teach you to think with your body and reconnect with that. And so you know
And you will know things through your body and reconnect that thing with your mind. So I definitely learned a lot of things through my body and almost direct spiritual experience that I then become able to understand intellectually or conceptually.
or only later when I find words or writings about that thing, then do I understand that experience I had because I didn't have the language at the time? So yes, absolutely. I would have felt those things if I hadn't been reading about them. Just kind of extrapolating from the other things that the plants showed me that
I had no prior reading or exposure to that then I came to understand and then seek more community around to more deeply understand and so forth. I don't know, super natural, but I believe you, because I found something similar, but it's so crazy.
Go ahead, Rod. First of all, I want to say that Jimmy, I really like your sums though. I still can't stop laughing in bed. My hypothesis is regarding everything that we are talking and I hope that the space is not recorded, but anyway,
It is recorded, but we could do it if you want. No, I'm not very sure. I just want to add that I have a hypothesis regarding we have a mechanism of attention and in our daily life we do not like our brain filters
a lot of information because otherwise it would be just, you know, it has limited processing power so we miss a lot and I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I have I#
actually we see the more real world than we see in our daily life. And yeah, yeah, so I think it really helps to see us as much more than we see in our normal way. Yeah, go ahead.
Yes, and so same goes for meditation. So not that I'm so good in at meditation, but every time I hear from people who are achieved like higher states of mind and meditation and practices, they save the same thing. So when you when you delete or switch off all of
your filters and are just on the here and now and just focus on your breathing. So that might feel in for somebody who isn't experiencing this like, okay, turning off your head, not thinking or not experiencing anything, but you actually do the opposite and you connect more with the here and now.
and delete all of those filters, same as psychedelics drugs. And so the results from very deep meditation and psychedelic drugs, they oftentimes are very, very similar to those experiences and those feelings of connectivity.
Yeah, and that's essentially what Bloom kind of formed like initially in 2008, I kind of coming out of Occupy. Like there's a way to integrate those kinds of transcendental experiences where we're having having through meditation, through plant medicines, but also
through just the political context and having such a- >> I'm in a get coin soldier. I want more get coin grants on these new projects that we got to build get coin is the future without get coin nothing will ever get built. It is the only
I don't know but like definitely Jimmy and his agree Jimmy the okay Jimmy the order it's weird it seemed it seemed like he was muted but I heard it from him. I don't think that was come from solo puns
Sorry for interrupting your agenda. Go ahead as you were. For the record guys, you cannot interrupt people by while they're speaking. Maybe it was rugged and didn't hear you. We'll let you up in a minute. Maybe go ahead, magenta.
Yeah, I would just say the work that Blooms doing with grassroots community repair on the ground is kind of integrating the different practices that people that are very old or people are innovating to survive through the current situations and the economic breakdowns and the pressures and ecological breakdowns.
It just kind of all stemmed through finding community around people who were kind of seeing outside of the colonized cultural conditioning and trying to reconnect and skill share with each other. Like exactly what Arbatnika was kind of describing in helping teach folks.
So really happy to be part of Get Going Grants and making relationships with more projects around that front and kind of that unbranded green pill. The way the green pill describes their unbranded movement is, you know, looms sort of like a sigil we put up there, like find this in
do this stuff, but the open collaborative experience of GetCoin and the mutual support and the financial support that's coming to these projects that are working on the ground through that, like tree planting, Jimmy is doing and stuff. Yeah, I'm just really happy to be a part of this. That's all.
I'm so grateful and thank you for the little shout out there. So tell us how Bloom has bloomed over the years since 2011 till now in 2023. How's it evolved and what's it looking like today? Hey, you may check your DMs please.
Let's see, first we had to break up with our parent company. We emerged out of an online social network that had a very centralized approach and kind of a cultural disconnect with what emerged from the local chapters. So we had to separate from them to
form our own thing. And it took a really, really long time to find money to rebuild the social network that we needed. So we kind of just kept in touch with each other through very organic communication, like one-on-one Skype calls, group calls. And with a lot of healing, we had to do
from that process. But then once we got sorted out, yeah, we've developed a whole regenerative economic protocol that we're putting in place to reward people for regenerative actions. Thanks to funding on Getcoin grants and Give us, we have built the social platform that we need that was designed by the local organizers
on the ground and we're opening up general membership this year so people can post blogs, they can log regenerative actions they do, then they'll get a flow token flow for flowers and then at the end of the year is the cooperative, the whole thing is a federated Dow, it's a model we built with an all-female legal team over the last
year. So each local bloom and individual members like co-own the social network. So it's decentralized in that way. And then at the end of the year as the cooperative becomes profitable and as we bring in grant money for to support the regenerative actions on the ground will
issue people, or stablecoin, proportional to the amount of regenerative actions that they've done. And so instead of a model like Facebook where it's investors and advertisers extracting value from the labor happening in the community, it's
flips that on its head and the profits go to the people on the ground. They govern the development of the platform and how we're using our communications together and communicating. Yeah, so we built all of that infrastructure in the last year and now we're refining it and onboarding people.
But the local hubs have been doing their thing the whole time. Like the Monta Bridge collective has built a full on decentralized eco village. They're now working on a local nature backed stablecoin with Collectiveo. The bloom in Rio de Janeiro has a fully functioning and regional token economy.
and they're doing agroforestry and free like CSA boxes for people who live in the favelas and for artists and yeah each bloom is doing phenomenal stuff there's one in Baltimore that's doing soil remediations
on a urban lot that has lead poisoning, so they're pulling up the lead from the soil using sunflowers and studying different species to find out which sunflowers is the best at it and doing community repair through that process as well.
Kind of repairing race relations in Baltimore has a hard time with that so that's a deep part of what they're doing as well and each community has their own story a lot of them focus on food security so they're building you know up to 10,000 person local food movements and local businesses and stuff
So it's all going like game busters. That's amazing. And I'm so sorry. I got a bit rug there from the Jimmy page. So I'm up his tree. I literally couldn't unmute myself. I'm a panic of friends. Feel free to chime in because I did miss a little bit of that. So you might have a little bit more specific questions.
but from what I did here that sounds amazing of what you're building and the way that it's making a positive impact as well. So I also heard some about Dow tooling, right? How do you support Dow through Bloom exactly? It's also a social network.
Yeah, so it's a federated Dow. Each local bloom is a Dow and cooperatively we own the infrastructure and govern it together so the development of the platform and what programs you run, what we put money toward.
We're working with an infertile network right now to set up some of the smart contracts for that. But probably the end of this year is when we'll start prototyping our local Dow setup. So when a person signs up to be a member of Bloom, it's $10.
a month or like the equivalent of that in their country's income. And then by 80% of that, I think that's what we'll say to that. We'll go directly to their local bloomed out Treasury so that we teach them to use Web 3, how to collectively manage a Treasury and issue grants or
or stipends to local organizers or whatever. So it's sort of like a teaching tool more than, I don't think we'll build the tooling, we'll use tooling that exists, but we'll help local bloom participants learn how to use it to self manage their own treasuries.
It's phenomenal. So we got co-hosts up here too from Urbanica and Soapong Guild for free to chime in for them. I think Urbanica you're saying that I was in the, I'm not in the Soapong Guild account. I don't know why.
What you want by that in the DMs there, but that is super cool. So now you're involved in the UI UX side of this, right? How do you think the user experience
can be designed optimally so that people really enjoy how they experience the platform and get the most out of it. I'm sure you've given this quite a bit of thought.
Yeah, I mean, I think the main thing is for like more protocols to let and to pay and compensate people working on the ground to work on the UX with them. I don't think we're going to solve
the problem from a product developer mindset, and the ways people are trained to develop products and user interfaces, for it to be usable by the people on the ground, you really need to code design it with them and compensate them for their time.
embrace them as part of your team in the macro sense. So that's kind of the approach we're taking with Bloom, you know, iterating one small step at a time and checking in with the community is this working. And then, you know, our tech team is made of people
from local blooms who are working in the ground in their communities. And so it's like a direct, like, kind of unified loop for input and design of who the users are and who's building it. So I think we need more of that in the space.
Thank you, Magenta. You are doing an amazing work there and you have been working on this field for a lot of years and now that you are on the coding site, it's also like the people that we have been following you. We know the paths that you are taking.
we're also saying like, hey, learn to code and to plant or to gardening, you were saying, right? It's an amazing combination. So great, great to, great that you are sharing this and also great that you are working with the DORG and doing all these retroactive funding. You are helping a lot and teams that you are working with
are helping a lot ecosystem. So thank you for what you are doing. I would like to invite other people within the audience to also come and talk about your projects and see if there are potential collaborations that can happen. For example, Magenta has these pollinators
area and will be nice that if you could also shield your project maybe magenta can come with a proposal for you to join the pollinators or the blooms or anything and this is how collaborations can happen also if you are in Germany or you are
green peel or a refile local node. I think these two different hubs are working for almost the same thing. So pollination, it's a natural thing between you. We'll be amazing to hear more about other projects.
Absolutely shim on up friends and also feel free to pin your grants to the top I'm a retweet whatever you pin and Let's also put one another and shine more light on these positively impactful projects
So I read that your tokenomics are both about land stewardship and water stewardship. Could you shine a bit more light on water stewardship? I feel like we don't hear about that as much in the in the ReFi space.
Was that a question for me? Yeah. Yeah, so everything about Bloom in a way is orienting our economy around caring for the water. And one that's sort of a spiritual thing.
So in Diamante Valley, for example, they have a whole bunch of waterfalls. I think maybe you can see the ocean from where it's really clear all the actions you have go straight into the water. And you can see it's really obvious they're water cycle.
And so they're making these water filtration beds where they kind of channel the water to go into this bed of different plants and microorganisms that break down any chemicals. So they, for example, they installed one behind a restaurant in their community that probably used some chemicals in their soap.
for cleaning agents and stuff. And they slow the water down, give it time to break down any of that stuff so that by the time it gets to the creeks and waterfalls and eventually the ocean, there's no chemicals in that process. People do beach cleanups,
people taking care of their plastic waste and learning to reuse it and reduce how much they're using or stop using it entirely. We're looking at running a program to help people make kind of a franchise to do circular biomaterials.
and set of plastic and like help people transition. Yeah, and just to like the other thing we're looking at doing is maybe doing a recurring thing where communities go out at night and like meditate together by a body of water so they can listen
into it and like fundamentally make that reconnection with nature so that to kind of guide their actions because once you reconnect like that then it sort of flows that the rest of your life and you make changes in your how you're doing your job, your workplace, your whole
industry is kind of a fundamental reconnection place. So that's a couple ways. And then our whole regenerative actions protocol, almost like a third of the actions that people can do are related to caring for water, preventing pollutants, cleaning up water, teaching about it, that kind of thing.
It's amazing. What are the tokenomics? Are you set up tokens in the different areas or is it one over all token? How do the tokenomics play out for that? Oh, sorry, yeah, I totally missed that part of the question.
So at the local level, so Diamante, for example, they're working on, I forget with methodologies, they're using with collectivo, one is agroforestry, one is coral reef repair, and one is mangroves. And then from there, they'll evolve more methodologies.
And then basically that's used to bundle an eco-credits and then they get like a local stable coin which they can use to actually pay their phone bill. They can use to trade goods and services locally. That kind of thing. But as far as the international network will use just one token at least at
first and just reward people hourly at first until we have a community learn to develop and have the capacity to do anything more fancy than that. Like actually take measurements and look at specific impact verticals and gradually become more effective interactions. But at first they'll be pretty
We'll keep it pretty simple and accessible for people. And like I said, people report the actions on the website. There's fields for different impacts. So, and it's just very open. Like, you know, it could be someone like built relationships with my neighbors or, you know, set up an installed a thing that
and then, yeah, it's just they say how many hours they did, how many people participated and then that will be rewarded to people who are members of COOP basically. But yeah, pretty simple at first until we start again. We need to have more
more finances running into the thing that even have the capacity to do more sophisticated measurements and implement the methodologies for different kinds of credits around water care and repair and all that kind of stuff.
So you said you got a mangrove token. I love it. So I'm a mangrove Maxi. I love mangroves. So how does that work with the stablecoin? Could you go a little bit deeper in the? Yeah, I'm not fully involved in the pilot they're doing. It's the local bloom in Diamante Valley. So collectiv
who is the tech team that has built, it's like a tooling stack for a community to self design their own nature back stablecoin. And so, mangrove measuring, you know, replanting mangroves is one of the methodologies that they use. And it's
It's not that there's a mangrove specific coin. It's that the care of the mangroves and the resuscitation of their ecologies is that people are rewarded with that with their local token, which is the same kind of token that's rewarded for doing agroforestry
and like land repair stuff. It's the same token. It's just that eco credits are have a specific way of measuring that activity and helping people like learn and understand how to do it effectively. If that makes sense.
Okay, yeah, so you got the main token and then the eco credit is kind of like the MRV of Regeneration as opposed to carbon. What does the eco credit look like? Is that tokenized too or? Yeah, so the way they do it and this is colectivo that runs this part.
Bloom is probably going to use hyper-serts, and so that's more generically like an impact certification. But specific to Collectiveo, what they do is what's called a G-O-N-F-T. So they mark out kind of a polyon on a map of an area
of land and then any kind of ecological and social improvement activity. For now, they're just like I said, picking those like three kind of impact areas but one for time that'll include more like social regeneration and you know black entrepreneurship and stuff. And then the impact
that happen in that polygon are bundled into what they call the GONFT and that is a like a kind of regional oriented token bundle that contains the impact data and actual measurements that are happening in
and any impact vertical that they're including in their methodology if that makes sense. Yeah, totally. Super cool, super, super cool. Friends, we're going to transition to the next space. Magenta, you're more than welcome to flow with us. This is a 24/7
coin radio, we have many many different hosts and we all kind of float from one space to the next by pinning up to the jumbo tron. If you got a question from magenta, please feel free to raise your hand and chime in and let's turn this into a round table discussion while Arbanaca pins up the next space.
like you had something you wanted to chime in with. Oh, hello, hello, I feel like you had your end up forever now. Okay, so yeah, this is super cool. And wow, I mean, that's a
like 12 years you've been in the space, like that's a very significant amount of time. And like what's what's this journey been like for you? Has it been, has it been just super fulfilling? If there've been ups and downs, like what do you got some stories to tell or some craziness that happened along the way?
How would you describe this journey so far? Oh God. I'll write a book about my experiences being a local organizer in the Bay Area, especially during the time when we were still part of Evolver. That whole era was that shit crazy. Partly because of the focus
on psychedelics and absolutely no gatekeeping or relationship with indigenous folks or safety protocols in place like a lot of intense should happen. Like imagine normal activism dynamics where you have all kinds of you know intense
people show up, people want to power grab, people are re- do each other, people are playing out. In addition to doing awesome stuff, like, you know, voluntary communities often have like these intense dynamics, but put that, you know, magnify that by like a million when you add psychedelics into the mix. So that was involved, that was
But yeah, like right now, I mean, I cry at least once a week how beautiful the things that people are creating in the community and how people express that what they say and that's really, you know, kept me involved through the through the challenges of separating from a vulver and healing from all
that stuff, our former founder turns out he was raping people when he was visiting the local chapters. That was a whole thing to clean up in the community and talk about the dynamic in general. And then all of their power dynamics that we dealt with and the healing
from that was very, very difficult. I felt like I didn't have a choice. I extremely pushed myself way too much. I didn't have a choice in the sense like it was like my spiritual imperative to be of service to this community and stranger that I couldn't do anything else for work. It was really weird. But yeah, the
the profundity of the relationships. I'm still very close friends with all of the local organizers after over a decade. It's just like nothing else. It's been so deeply meaningful. It's working now.
I think I would have quit if getcoin hadn't brought in the help that we needed to get the social network built. Yeah, ups and downs for sure. Wow, wow. Thank you for sharing.
I'm constantly blown away by the positive impact that Gidcoin has made and continues to make. And also that's super shitty about the founder. I think that goes to show how
How Dows can a traditional company that comes out about the founder, it's done. The company's done it. You can't really recover from that, right? But is it because you think it's because it was decentralized that they were able to move forward after that came out?
Yeah, pretty much. I mean, yeah, that's one of the part of the rings we couldn't fund raise because you would mention where we just came out of and I would just get eye rolls and side eyes and people laughing at me and like, yeah, right. So, yeah, I mean, we had to separate and do our thing, but the community itself
those are real relationships, right? Like, cancel culture at a macro level is, you know, the brand situation took a while to find our own way and stuff, but those relationships were real, even at scale. Like, I think
enable relationships at scale, especially when they integrate local IRL bows. You're able to have true authentic relationships with people and are able to heal or discuss or set appropriate boundaries and a whole mountain of work isn't
trashed because of one individual's bad behavior. If you're being careful and if you set up your infrastructure correctly because we see a larger financial protocol is that do rug a lot of people but there's the potential for the decentralized kind of strength and resilience.
Thank you, Ivanka. Thank you, Ivanka. We are now ready to transition to the next one. Impact OPI is already hosting it. It's on the top. It's been on the John Patron, please let's transition to there. So we can keep the conversation.
Now the topic there will be sociocracy. So it's related to governance, to the way that we make decisions. So I think everybody here will be interested on the topic. If you know anything about sociocracy,
will be a person that is expert on the topic that will introduce it and then answer all the questions that we have. So don't hesitate to attend because you just need to have the will to learn other ways of making decisions and yeah, level up. Let's go.
