The Blockchain Socialist Decentralizing Power and Value with P2P Models
For this week's episode I spoke with Samer Hassan (@SamerP2P), activist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Universidad Complutense Madrid and Faculty Associate at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center. His current focus is his work on P2P Models (@P2PMod), a project to build collaborative economy organizations that are decentralized, democratic & distribute their profits through the use of decentralized technology like blockchain.
During the interview we talk about Samer's research and activist experience both in technical and social issues, how he sees decentralized technologies can assist the left for organizing and governance, and some of the insights P2P Models' research has found so far on how DAOs have evolved.
