NextMeta Share What You're Makin' w/ Chair & Bacon #3 - Ross From LexDAO
Ross Campbell is the self-described “summoner” of LexDAO - a group of “shadowy super lawyers” on a mission to “research, develop and evangelize first-class legal methods and blockchain protocols that secure rules and promises with code rather than trust”. He’s a corporate lawyer turned crypto enthusiast who found web3 through his job (of all places) when clients started asking questions about the legal status of bitcoin. In this episode, Chair & Bacon interview Ross about all things legal & crypto, from smart contracts to e-residency to questionable characters in web3.
Some of the Topics:
- Working online and legal system compatibility
- Improving the efficiency of financial agreements w Blockchain
- Onboarding lawyers into web3
- LexDAO offerings & support
- Connecting politics & DAOs
- The legal future of crypto
- Revamping citizenship
In a conversation that is both technical and fun, they dive into questions about how to integrate law into web3, how much longer to expect the “crypto wild west”, and the pros & cons of geographically-tethered nations. They also touch on Indian tag-wrestling pro sports, questionable politicians and Satoshi impersonators. Ross is a beacon of legal knowledge in a space of grey areas, and this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
