Rehash: A Web3 Podcast

On this Episode of Rehash, we sat down with David Phelps. On top of being the founder of JokeDAO and an investor at Cowfund, David is also a writer, thinker, and talented shitposter. Contrary to what his boyish looks might suggest, David is a boomer who spent his prior life in the web2 and education spaces. After starting a tutoring agency that gave tutors a much larger slice of the revenue pie, David found his way into the web3 DAO space. Today, he continues to focus on projects that give creators and users the ownership and compensation that they deserve.JokeDAO is an on-chain governance platform used by web3 projects (including Rehash!) to create and run contests in a fair, decentralized manner. In the short time since it popped up, JokeDAO has been used by other creators like Packy McCormick and organizations like Tally and Jukebox to give their communities a stronger voice in what they’re making. As someone who spends much of his time thinking about and working on governance, David brings us on a deep dive into its nuances. We discuss the role of tokens in voting and online communities, why governance should be chaotic, and some of the unique challenges JokeDAO has faced. David also tells us about the intricate ways that JokeDAO could be used to create more community-aligned proposals and decisions. Aside from governance, David explains the potential of blockchains and projects like Cosmos and Celestia, gives his bullish argument for web3, and breaks down what he looks for when investing in the space.For good measure, we also make plenty of cow jokes, we take a look at the line between governance and moderation, David shills Cosmos, and he explains why beavers (real ones, not from cartoons) should be the official symbol of JokeDAO. 🔗 FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenDavid: https://twitter.com/divine_economyJokeDAO: https://twitter.com/jokedao_Cowfund: https://twitter.com/thecowfund ⌛ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:30 Sponsors!4:48 David’s background11:54 Disclaimer13:09 Fun use cases for JokeDAO20:36 JokeDAO’s randomization feature21:53 Governance as content moderation25:11 Down-voting 27:50 Non-financial tokens34:18 Blockspace, token pricing, and proof of stake40:43 Cosmos and blockchain potential48:24 David’s investment thesis59:58 Follow David! DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Dennison Bertram, founder of Tally, a DAO operations platform. Dennison is also the #2 backer from our initial Mirror crowdfund and, as a result, one of Rehash’s Queen of the Pod. Thank you Dennison!Dennison has been in the crypto space since 2012, earning himself true OG status. Although he was a self-proclaimed Bitcoin in his early days, he’s now Ethereum-pilled and building Tally across several blockchains. In a DAO-heavy discussion, we dive deep into the challenges DAOs are facing, particularly around operations. We dive into what it means to be a DAO, how to set one up correctly, and Dennison gives us some DAO best practices. We also talk about “fake” DAOs and how bad actors are coming into the space to get DAO recognition, but not truly behaving like a DAO when things go south. We compare DAOs with traditional companies and analyze some of the challenges they both face. Dennison also shares his views on decentralization maxis as well as the controversial topic of what DAOs can learn from corporations.Dennison leaves us with some final thoughts around what he’s most bullish about, most bearish about, and what excites him the most about the future of DAOs. 🔗FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenDennison: https://twitter.com/DennisonBertramTally: https://twitter.com/tallyxyz ⌛TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:47 Sponsors!5:16 Dennison’s background7:11 Bitcoin10:58 DAO operations 13:07 What is not DAO18:36 What is a DAO23:26 Challenges in companies and DAOs28:01 Lessons DAOs can take from traditional companies32:44 Not everything needs to be decentralized34:39 Good DAOs37:30 Dennison’s final thoughts on DAOs40:16 Fun questions!43:15 Follow Dennison!43:56 DAO Shoutouts DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
