it has previously been in a private collection, and without constitutiondao would end up in another private collection.

the intention of the dao is clear, display it in a public museum with free entry.

and yes, from a joke last friday to likely suceeding in less than a week! exciting. the velocity of daos is remarkable, and i think it is a just a small hint of what is to come in the future. and it is coming quick.

(meanwhile i expect hn to continue talking about tulips or something :)

Have there been any DAOs designed for long term impact that have been successful at their intended task? Is there a DAO for nuclear fusion and fission projects or anything else that has real world relevance?

I'd like a WebSearchDAO please, that would only turn evil if everybody wanted it to.

Cool idea but this makes too much sense for anyone in the crypto community to take it seriously. They mostly care about what gets the most likes and upvotes on Twitter and Reddit.

you’re criticizing this approach, but twitter and reddit matter. how do you get 10000 people to each give $2000 to a project over the course of 3 days? no startup, no matter how good their product, pulls that off without a strong marketing team. most fail even with traditional marketing.

how do you sell to the millenial/zoomer audience? memes. you make it a social experience. you create not just shared governance over a document, but an entire community around it. organize events like watch parties, etc. especially covid era, creating communities is more valuable to certain groups than is creating an incrementally better search engine.

I don't understand what you're arguing. I don't find meaning, value, and substance in memes and digital communities structured around DAOs. I'd much rather be involved in some real world community that is working towards solving some tangible problem instead of wasting my time speculating on pixelated NFTs or buying something that already belongs to every citizen of the United States.

I think you're missing the point. What if it became a meme to collectivize around a DAO that meme-ifies fighting climate change? Would that be something that interests you? A good example of someone that already altruistic things for the world and makes it fun is Mr. Beast on youtube.

For instance on a quick search I found this video of him rallying a bunch of people to clean an extremely dirty beach.

Humor and productivity don't have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe humor and fun is the way we get the average person to engage in collective action and do things that everybody thinks are impossible otherwise.

Maybe you could use your imagination a little bit to potentially think about why something like ConstitutionDAO might have larger implications than "it's just another ponzi-scheme. Or fall in line with the rest of Hacker News that fails to see how real people can benefit from an interesting technology.
