Crypto Therapy

Today, I go over Vitalik's recent post and expand on my vision for the future of the industry.

Welcome to the first session of Crypto Therapy . Today Madam Cult Leader guides you through where the web3 industry needs to go. How do we close the gap to the next billion users? Who even are these users and why do they hate us? No effects as Anchor App is defunct. I will try to edit intro and outro next time.

Surprise, its racism!

With my career shift from chemistry and into web3, I constantly feel fear. I talk about how I handle that and the uncertainty that follows; how I deal with being in a emerging industry and trying to grow within it.

As the historical norm of fascism and minority rule returns to the US, we have to be strategic and build local grassroots movements that serve us, our community, and those of us most marginalized. I talk about how the US system works and what action items I think can make change in this country.

I ponder freedom and how the internet is expanding our manifestation of it. I think about the interactions between collective and individual freedom. I also consider how web3 and web2 augment and enhance both types of freedom.

It is time to get serious and build movements for change.

The reality is that we were never free and the licks of freedom we gained were off the liberatory movements by the most marginalized (black & indigenous | queer & trans | disabled).

Just a vent sesh with lil ol’ madam cult leader.

We deserve a sustainable world. We deserve a world that cares for all of us. We deserve systems that care about community. We deserve more and its about damn time we fight fiercely for it.

I muse of the structure of corp governance. Who and what does it incentivize? Is there a better way?

Just some ramblings about US governance, human emotionality, and our modern shortcomings.

The blueprint of my ideologies comes from black women, especially along the intersection of queerness. I built my magic in the safe spaces they provided. I exist in my form because of their hope and brilliance. I have immense hope for what we can do in this life, do you?

If we cannot be honest about the past, we cannot build a better future.

I muse on what the tenets should be in Web3. How those are different from the crypto community? How should we should up to build this collective future and what things do we agree to in being a part of web3?

As we move into increasingly uncertain times, we need hope and passion to not only get us through, but to help the world and our communities.

We are so screwed it isn’t even funny.

How can we conceptualize web3 and blockchain as a tool for liberation, subversion, and prosperity against systems that marginalize and oppress? I share my insights in this episode.

We need to create a new culture that cares. That defines our experience as a global species. That links us to each other. That shows us we all are inherently linked. The success of each of us is dependent on the other.

Web3 and blockchain challenges our assumptions about humanity and our collective psyche. How does mutualism, community, and kindness rule in this new paradigm? What histories and cultures can we learn from who already learned these lessons? I take inspiration from “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer who details her understandings derived from the intersection of her indigeneity and the Eu...

In todays ramblings, I process a lot of seemingly disparate thoughts on the following subject: settler colonialism, climate change, racism, web3, and hope. These topics come together to show with historical contextualization and emerging technology, web3 can change the world for the better.

I have been feeling that web3 needs direction and critique in how it is imagining work. Do we need to work 40 hours? What is the value we are really creating? I think that if we do not imagine a kinder and more human system, we are doomed to replicated what already exists.

On today’s episode there is not much structure and a lot of rambles BUT I share my thoughts and experience with Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in the Web3 space. I explore how my past experiences transform my understanding of corporate structuring, leadership, professionalism, and the “entrepreneurial mindset.” Who are these concepts serving and what defines them? How do our assumptions impact the...

Today we discuss the optimism and messaging within the web3 movement. We chat about if web3 steps up to the messaging it preaches. Does web3 actually stand for a racial economic future? Or is this just lip service with no meat behind it? Hopefully this little conversation helps you decide!

It has been a while friends! I am starting this back up to explore my passion of crypto, blockchain technology, and web3! Hopefully this will be a safe space for people to learn and grow into this exciting new space, while protecting themselves and their coin.
