Free workshop: Managing shared finances as a team
Nov 6, 3pm EST

Your cooperative runs democratically, but does your bank account?

Learn to set up shared wallets where multiple people control spending and every transaction is transparent.

No technical experience needed.

Fascinating story. I knew about Urbit’s culture, but I had no idea it was literally founded and run by Curtis Yarvin.

Bluesky is a site explicitly founded by cryptocurrency libertarians with the idea that it would be a decentralized platform where users would be free to choose the open-source moderation and algorithmic feed tools they wanted, and by accident acquired a power userbase that hates all of those things.

I was lucky to see an advance screening of Code is Law, featuring interviews with Griff, Christoph, Fabien and others. It's a really good snapshot of The DAO hack, the Indexed Finance and Kyberswap.
