Exploring the Banking Crash with Grace Rachmany, Accidental Gods Podcast
All you ever wanted to know about banks, crashes, the weaknesses in the predatory capital system and quite how completely we’re being lied to.
Following our podcast with Grace Rachmany, we stayed online and talked about the banking crash. At the time of recording, we only knew about Silicon Valley Bank – Credit Suisse hadn’t gone down yet – but we talked about the nature of finance, of cryptocurrencies, of the totally unsustainable nature of the economy. This is the kind of conversation that I often have with guests after the podcast is over. Usually it happens off-air and I wish we’d captured it. And this time, we did. So if you’re interested in the two of us riffing in a rather less structured way than the usual podcast, this is it.
In the closing episode of our DAO-focused series, Grace Rachmany shares more of her expertise on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. She is joined by Yip Thy-Diep Ta, Dr. Weaver Weinbaum, and host Dr. Marta Lenartowicz to explore the deeper motivations and values that drive people to come together and form DAOs. What do we hope to achieve? And what is at stake?
In the second episode of our DAO-focused series, Grace Rachmany returns to continue the exploration of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. Joined by Michel Bauwens, Dr. Weaver Weinbaum, and host Dr. Marta Lenartowicz, this discussion examines the challenges DAOs face, tensions between voting and deliberation, and the nuances of membership structures. The conversation draws on insights about scaling communities, grounded in both historical and contemporary perspectives.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are central to decentralized governance, but have we unlocked their full potential? This episode launches a three-part series on DAOs, featuring Grace Rachmany, a leading expert in decentralized governance, alongside Michel Bauwens and host Dr. Marta Lenartowicz. Together, they explore how DAOs can reshape collaboration and economic systems, situating them within our broader civilizational shift.
Alternatives to Voting: How to create fully-democratic processes without voting mechanisms. We cover 4 proven decision-making mechanisms that don’t involve operating, and 2 new ideas that could be programmed into DAOs. This talk is part of DAOcember 2024 by Metagame.
This conversation is a deep and thoughtful one that points to the many possibilities of what reshaping our societies entails. We spoke of democracy and the state of it, we spoke of decision making, what happens to a society that has the monetary system as it’s primary social structure. We speak of value, commons, technology and responsibility.
World of Wisdom is a curiosity driven podcast about wisdom, learning and the personal and systemic implications of the transition we are in. Hosted by Amit Paul and Niels Von Heinje
The most fundamental element in any collaboration ecosystem is identity – who is this, what have they done before, what are they promising to do for us, where do we reward them? But this element has also been broken for decades – excuded from early protocols, torn between a need for knowledge and a need for privacy, and built in chunks by centralized corporations. The web3 world itself is dealing with significant problems – bots, sibyl attacks, and weak communities. But web3 is also where the most fundamental and interesting approaches to identity are being built. This panel was conversation between deep thinkers on decentralised identity! We explored the different models, the trade-offs we may have to make and those that are illusions, and how identity protocols will fit into a larger ecosystem.
ETHPrague 2024: Reputation for your projects
Reputation is a core primitive for participation in DAOs and assigning different types of privileges and responsibilities to participants in Web3. But reputation is complex and difficult to parse. What are the approaches available today? Is offchain or onchain reputation better? What is a verifiable credential and how is it different from a Non-Transferable Token (NTT)? In this workshop we go through some of the tools, products, and approaches, and how different approaches work for different projects. Together, we’ll explore your projects and how you can approach reputation either using existing tools or with your own reputation engines.
ETHPrague 2024: Death Economics: Why Crypto Can’t Solve Social Problems
If you think you’re designing a crypto that will solve social and ecological problems, think again. Your crypto won’t solve the problem you wish it would. This is because the destruction of the planet and erosion of culture are only “side effects” of the economy because we put the word “side” before the word “effect”. We are brainwashed to believe that the “invisible hand” in a death economy will provide a fair market value for things, despite all evidence to the contrary. Don’t believe the death cult. Cure the mind virus in this quick talk that will help you redesign currency in a way that is aligned with creating real value in the world.

The Real Decentralization and Regeneration, MetaGame Podcast w/ Grace Rachmany
Just days before starting her 6 week workshop, DAO consultant and co-founder of PricelessDAO Grace Rachmany, talked to Peth.eth about her journey on team management and her perspectives on the ReFi space, decentralized organizations, independence, autonomy & much more..
As someone who has specialized in team management, leadership & governance, she raises a question: How to bring out the best in people and communities?
The structure of a DAO, adequate voting systems and the ability to track your reputation as well as hardware production are some of the proposals she highlights in order to create a self-sufficient system that does not operate by the same rules as the default.
“If it’s just a general movement then you’re missing something. If DAOs can offer us some structure where we could recognize one another, be united under some sort of federated protocol that allows us to communicate, then the question would be “what do you want to communicate?”
