>The verifier must be neutral, unstoppable, and non-corruptible. It must be a smart contract. Ethereum is currently the only ecosystem with the maturity to run a verifier that: Enforces the law exactly as written Cannot be bribed Cannot be turned off by a new mayor Except that this was violated when in 2016 the DAO was "hacked" and the ETH "community", i.e. an elite number of users, rolled back the chain to bail out their pals.

>There's no underlying issue with Ethereum that means smart contracts aren't safe on Ethereum. It's not that black and white. There are certain things that EVM/Solidity do that are more easily exploitable and that is why Move became a popular new VM for chains to use. THe most popular is called reentrancy attacks and it's what caused The DAO hack way back and it's the cause of a lot of exploits. Move made changes to make it significantly harder to exploit, not sure if it's even been done a Move-based chain yet. https://x.com/movebrah/status/1743381295806173650 https://www.astrakode.tech/it/blockchain-it/reentrancy-attack-in-smart-contracts/ https://www.nethermind.io/blog/smart-contract-vulnerabilities-and-mitigation-strategies https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11102145 edit: just fyi, i only hold SOL/ETH, nothing from any Move-based projects, I just heard about this a while ago.

For ETH your best bet is a 'Safe' multisig. This is what basically every DAO, every dApp treasury, every OG, and even the Ethereum Foundation themselves uses (obviously don't trust me though, do some research to check yourself). A multisig means that you set up a wallet that has multiple other wallets as 'signers' (as many as you want), and transactions can only be sent if a number of the signers, sign the transaction (you set how many you want to require). So as an example, you could set up a '2 of 4' multisig, meaning that there are 4 wallets that can sign transactions for your safe, and you need 2 to confirm before a transaction will go through. The 4 could be: * A Railway wallet on your PC; * A Rabby wallet on your phone; * A Metamask wallet on your spouse's phone; * A key that only exists on paper at your parent's house. Normally at home you just use your PC and phone, if you are out you can use your phone and get your spouse to confirm on theirs, if your phone breaks you can use your PC and your spouse can confirm, if you and your spouse both lose your phones while kiteboarding the you can retrieve the spare key from your parents... And if someone hacks your PC they can't get your crypto, or if they steal your phone, or rob your parents etc... Obviously as you can have any number of devices as signers and any number of required signers to confirm then you can make the setup as complex and secure as you like. Anyway, here's the link: https://safe.global/

One question, does Ethereum have limited supply? Don't answer it. Research it for yourself. Also, find out why they forked from Ethereum Classic. The answer is the DAO hack.  Look into second order effects of what that means.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

People said the same thing about Kraken. Saying a big exchange like that doesn't care about some shitcoin on a sub with little volume. And at that time, there was way less volume than today, less usecase, and it was centralized with no DAO, and closer to a shitcoin than now.

noviwu97

Transparency is not the biggest of DAO's concern. Polkadot DAO is very transparent but they kept spending on dumb shit with 0 result.

LinusVPelt

Two years in this world is nothing btw. There have been users here since 2016. Users which have seen The DAO with their eyes and the BCH fork on their wallets, and the multiple crashes on Solana, that go back to 2020 and 2021, as well as when Solana built the Ethereum compatibility, which was the moment when it started to become relevant. Those happened all before you started to be around.

Thanks for the update! Great to see there is still a lot of interest in Moons and the DAO

You say I’m "redefining" things, but I’m just looking at the scoreboard. You’ve admitted Ethereum is failing its own "trustless" goals. Now you’re just arguing that intent matters more than results. You’re evaluating a centralized, leader based, and permissionless Ethereum, based on a dream from 10 years ago that has turned into a $100k entry fee nightmare, where users get robbed by MEV kings. **Again, it has a Nakamoto score of 2, which is literally 1 step away from being an SQL database with a million spectators.** Amazing to be that centralized with 1.1 million validators (13,000 nodes), right? Experiment over. Failed. Once you're that centralized, there's no un-fucking it. Not to mention it can't scale and isn't ABFT. I’m evaluating a decentralized, leaderless and permissioned Hedera based on Mainnet code that has delivered the most fair, most secure, high-speed performance in the history of computer science. Nakamoto score of 11, which only increases as any nodes are added (equal node consensus power). ABFT at unlimited scale is the end game of DLT. Rolling out permissionless in a methodical fashion, while guaranteeing decentralization along the way, is practical and necessary. Ironically Ethereum also started permissioned and moved to permissionless, but didn't have a strong foundation and didn't implement a good plan for obtaining true decentralization. It failed. 2015 Canary "Centralized" Contracts, 2016 DAO Hack & Centralized Fork, "Difficulty Bombs" for coerced centralized governance, 72 million centralized Genesis ETH Distribution. All factors in ETHs current Nakamoto score of 2. Leader based systems like ETH can add as many nodes as they want, whenever they want, because there's only 1 leader at a time, and the most important leaders already hold all the power. They don't care what you do, your node is literally a paperweight. You are really a spectator, not an actual contributer. Hedera is leaderless, so you don't just add nodes willy-nilly otherwise you unnecessarily increase Time To Finality for no reason. It's a Gossip protocol, where every node participates in every transaction. You add nodes when you need to scale. When you add enough nodes, you shard. You keep sharding as needed by TPS demands, or other demands, like the need for your nodes to be within your country bounds by law (banks, etc). Again this is already coming into action, the DAB is already live today. It officially removed the "manual gatekeeping" of node account IDs. Block Nodes tested this month. They are preparing for imminent scale, likely having to do with CLARITY Act regs on the horizon. While membership to the Council is gated, membership to community and permissionless nodes is now ready for implementation as required by TPS or other demands.

>Is there a place where we can donate to the DAO? Love this idea and for sure many would support growing the DAO a bit faster and then the DAO could maybe even create yield with the funds we supply them

002_timmy

Canonically through Ethereum, which takes 7 days, or through celer, which doesn’t have much liquidity. This is why I proposed a DAO owned and funded bridge

002_timmy

You can donate to the treasury, which is donating to the DAO. Right now, nobody is taking compensation as everyone has said they are fine doing things the way they are. I think once the treasury gets over $10k in stablecoins, there’s definitely some room to explore compensation models for officers and people working on the project, or even do things like putting a portion of the stables in yield bearing assets

SevereArrivals13

Love these updates and love to see the treasury, DAO liquidity, and burns growing with every Moon Week. With the great tokenomics we have and strong work behind the scenes, the future is bright as ever. Can't wait for the bridge too!

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Is there a place where we can donate to the DAO? From what I hear the team is spending a lot of time working on this for no compensation. Is there some kind of "tip jar" for the team where we can just send you guys USDC so you can split it amongst yourselves? And can we also donate to the treasury? I've been buying some of the Mellon sell walls. I got quiet a few Moons to spare.

No it doesn't. Ethereum at the time was 1 year old, it was the first platform to have smart contracts which makes it infinitely more complex and presents a bunch of challenges that wasn't very well understood at the time. One of them was smart contract security and the importance and availability of proper 3rd party security auditing. Was it an ideal situation? No, it wasn't, but it was probably bound to happen sooner or later. The important thing is that it only happened once, and the community learned its lesson. Since then there have been several bail out hard forks proposed, cases that would have been straight forward and no disruptive in any way, like the Parity wallet library hack, but the community refused to hard fork and so the DAO hack didn't set precedent. Also technically it wasn't a roll back, it was an irregular state change, which is really quite different because the rest of Ethereum activity wasn't disrupted and transactions didn't get reverted.

Potential-Coat-7233

Ethereum rolled back the blockchain after the DAO hack.  That kinda kills one of the 3 legs of the stool.

AgnewTheModHamster

Sad to say, I spent 9 years inside the Dash DAO, their core group was stripped down to CTO level and delivered an L2 that is not EVM compatible. I still have friends holding Dash, I don't wish them ill, but moving their privacy to a proprietary L2 IS an non-starter for me.

Margin requirements only look onerous to people who want to play high risk games.  Commodities aren't suited to that sort of volatility--it has nasty real world impacts.  Lower margin returns, less systemic risk. Plenty of opportunities out there already for people with high risk appetites--not every space needs to become some DAO led blockchain

RedKe

This post was first I heard about it so I looked it up and seems Flow abandoned the rollback. Is there somewhere that lists all rollback examples? I know Ethereum did it after the DAO hack which some disagreed with and led to Ethereum classic forking off.

Yea, if you have your recovery phrase you can recover them on another wallet like Metamask. Reddit is discontinuing the Reddit Wallet, but your Moons are still on the blockchain. You just need to make sure you saved your 12 word phrase. But Moons are still continuing on this sub (and other subs) and getting further development with the new DAO being built. So I have a feeling they're gonna become useful for a lot more than just sentimental value.

> DAOs are mostly a failure. DAOs are centralized governance bullshit scams with the facade of decentralization. This was obvious years ago but Crypto Bros are always slow to recognize scams. Some of my comments for well known DAOs from 3 years ago and 5 years ago show how these centralized bullshit scam people with the notion that they are decentralized when in reality when a handful of people or in these cases ONE person controls the whole DAO. MakerDAO: > One man, Rune Christensen controls the system, interest, fees, voting, etc. There are ELEVEN addresses that accounted for 98% of the voting for the protocol change for an "executive vote" used USDC.

Firm_Benefit9517

so a couple of things i believe you should update on your post: | The amount is not huge - $10m, roughly one ninth of total Aave fees. Still, the principle matters. AAVE token holders do not benefit if fees accrue anywhere outside the DAO treasury. \- ESTIMATED 10M. until now was \~1M w/ paraswap.  | Other large holders abstained. And realistically, why would they vote against the founder? He is responsible for their gains and has the most skin in the game. \- they ABSTAINED mainly bc they wanted to repeat the vote... and looking at mz twitter they are going to do so. as the only outcome they will accept is YAE... | Days before the vote, he spent roughly $12M buying AAVE. I took a look at etherscan and snapshot.. those token weren't used to vote? | The vote happened, and Stani voted against the initiative, carrying about 33% of the voting power.  Was 33 at the beginning ,.looking at snapshot now it's 18.5% **IMHO what we should really be discussing**: The fee's the DAO were receiving never appeared on a proposal, and was just given by aavelabs voluntarily AFAIK? and posts from MZ and ezequiel seems to confirm that... ... SO why aci didn't propose to formalise these fees? being them the biggest voice for the aave holders? I mean I trust(ed) them a lot and I though this was already formalised on a proposal, not that was given voluntarily..... that's fuck up, and this should have been addressed at some point on the last 12 months at least! and not wait until aavelabs change it.. bc again aavelabs is a private company, if no agreement is in place they can do whatever they want... and I don't agree with this change, it should have been discussed first IMHO with the DAO AND don't get me wrong, bdg and aci have been extremely important for the protocol, but lately I'm seeing the same pattern of lying and lying trying to poison the narrative and create an animosity towards aave labs... ... and it's just harmful for the protocol..... what **we don't really need is some bullshit politicians trump-style around tbh,** and it's what I'm seeing lately. However the rhetoric "aavelabs steals funds that belong to the DAO"... has a better ring right? BUT under this circumstances is not a true statement. I mean on aci are not fucking stupid so I guess this scenario was exactly what they wanted? more rhetoric to attack aavelabs as we have seeing the past 18 months or so? that is why they didn't make any proposal for the dao to vote about the fee? .... i mean or it's this, or blatantly incompetency, and if they as the biggest voice for the aave holders can't even do a proposal to formalise the fees the dao were receiving, how are we going to trust them with IP/assets? cmon.. So the DAO itself, let me remind you, can't hold any assets. instead of doing a temp check **(bc I think it is is a legitimate discussion we need to have**) they put a half baked proposal.. if YAE was success wdyt would have happen? Another service provider (bdg or aci) would "need" take over those assets until a dao-managed-vehicle is created? as there is no such thing even proposed yet this is blatantly using the dao as a weapon to try to take over assets from a private company to another company?... wtf

ZhenyaV

Very interesting. Suho.eth seized Build Finance DAO governance with 5K BUILD tokens (<5% supply), proposing/passing a control transfer via low quorum, 24-hr vote window, no strong safeguards like alerts or high thresholds. Founders couldn't stop it due to no veto in decentralized setup, failed alert discord bot, and zero opposing votes in short time.

HSuke

You guys still remember the Build Finance DAO hostile takeover? Attacker took over the DAO, used it to mint tokens, and then dumped the tokens. https://www.theblock.co/post/134180/build-finance-dao-suffers-hostile-governance-takeover-loses-470000 Sometimes DAOs work, and sometimes it ends up like this.

watch-nerd

DAOs are mostly a failure. DAO tokens are not stocks. They give no ownership rights, unlike shares in a corporation. And as a vehicle for 'democracy', they're also bad, as votes are given to delegates with the most tokens, which may not be anything meritocratic or based on contributions to the project. This is unlike open source projects that govern themselves via purely social consensus. Many DAOs are just vehicles for delegates to raid the DAO treasury via grift schemes.

And a DAO would be a complete farce since Ripple controls the majority of the supply. It will just be like when Crypto Dot Com (which owns over 80% of validators) unilaterally minted 70B CRO tokens even though the entire community voted against that. The only reason banks even partnered with Ripple is because Ripple paid them to test their networks. None of them want to use XRPL because it's centrally controlled by Ripple and XRPL Foundation's permissioned dUNL validators. If they wanted to use a centralized network, they would rather pick one owned by trusted TradFi institutions.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; XRP faces challenges due to its lack of smart contract capabilities and centralized control, which hinder its ability to support decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and broader blockchain adoption. While there are discussions about adding smart contracts via sidechains and creating a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for governance, no concrete actions have been taken. Without addressing these issues, XRP risks losing relevance in the competitive cryptocurrency market. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Why is he selling low. Might as well just let it ride out. Who knows what can happen. Worst case scenario, it goes lower. But at this point, he's probably down like 90% anyway. The Marshall DAO is currently in development. Once they finished crossing their T's, it's gonna open a lot of doors for Moons. Things Reddit wasn't able to do with them before.

tldr; A dispute within the Aave ecosystem has escalated into a governance clash between Aave DAO and Aave Labs over control of CoW Swap fees, intellectual property, and brand assets. Concerns arose when swap fees were found flowing to Aave Labs instead of the DAO treasury. Governance proposals have called for transferring Aave's IP and brand assets to DAO control, sparking debates about decentralization and economic alignment. The conflict highlights tensions in DeFi governance and may set a precedent for balancing community authority with centralized execution. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Discord, X, Youtube. Plenty of ways the DAO could increase their reach and exposure for advertisers, and also increase the general community size. Eventually offer a bundle advertising option where an advertising campaign can run across multiple platforms.

I agree with you, though I think of him as a balf faced scam king, not a wolf. A short history: In the early Ethereum days he lied to his colleagues about his academic background, acting has if he dropped out of PhD studies, when he actually had not even completed an undergrad degree. His Ethereum colleagues more or less say he was a habitual liar and want nothing to do with him. This is all well documented in Laura Shin's book, The Ethereans. He broke away from Ethereum and helped to launch "Ethereum Classic" after The DAO Hack. IMHO "Eth Classic" was never anything more than an opportunist money grab grift. It was hugely pumped and dumped early on, it then for many years before it was attacked and suffered multiple block re-orgs. In 2017/18 Charles jumped on the hot ICO bandwagon with ADA. The project raised over $60M. The market cap soared well into the double digit billions. Founders got 57% of the coins released. Another 11% went to "further development" through IOHK. So buyers actually owned less than 40% of the tokens and a bulk of the wealth accrued to you know who. With some of that money, Hoskinson donated several millions to Cornell with the condition that they name the math building the money was raised for after him. This way he can casually drop to future would-be investors that Cornell named a math building after him of course leaving out that it was simply a financial exchange and nothing to do with any kind of academic achievements. I lost track of his dealings after this point, but he has been snaking his way into Trumps crypto push in congress as they like to lay with their own kind.

I think the DAO means that it's not gonna be exclusive to this sub or even just Reddit. Moons can become much more universal. Plus with the Marshall DAO it can turn into a self sustained economy with distribution and rewards coming from ads, sponsors, AMAs, etc... from any sub and any site.

What exactly will the DAO do? And what does 'powered by Moons' mean? Is it only about governance for this sub?

Definitely agree for the most part, but I’d say that this DAO has been going for ~2 years (after Reddit subset moons) and is an entirely community run project from this sub. The main goal is educating people on web3. In fact, none of the DAO officers even take a salary from the DAO. I recommend checking out the website and r/CryptoCurrencyMeta for more info

002_timmy

I had a conversation the other day with someone and was saying how moons laid the foundation for me across so many different web3 concepts. Airdrops / farming - most obvious way with posting & commenting Centralized Governance - monthly voting on Reddit Decentralized exchanges - Moons were only available on Sushiswap when they hit mainnet, so that's where I traded them DeFi (specifically LPs) - Sold some earned moons for ETH, then created LP positions on Sushi DeFi yield farming - LP positions got boosted yield in additional moons & sushi tokens for a period of time Decentralized governance & DAOs - CCMOON DAO after Reddit sunset moons We've also added lending with Teller, although I ventured into that area before we started on Teller. I'm probably forgetting a few more, but moons are really a great way for beginners to crypto to learn & then put into "risk-free" practice what they learn.

002_timmy

CCMOON DAO is the community-governed organization that manages the MOON token and the broader r/CryptoCurrency ecosystem. The DAO oversees governance, treasury management, advertising partnerships, moderation coordination, and contributor rewards, with decisions made transparently by MOON holders through onchain voting. Its mission is to sustainably fund and grow crypto-native communities while keeping control in the hands of the community itself.

Fancy_Palpitation_38

I get the skepticism, and a lot of this critique is fair — especially around governance theater and the DAO/devco split. But I think the conclusion goes a step too far, and that’s why I still believe altseason happens next year. Altseasons have never been about “belief” or ideological purity. They’ve been about liquidity rotation. Every cycle, capital starts conservative (BTC), moves to ETH once risk appetite grows, and then inevitably spills into higher beta assets — not because they represent ownership, but because they offer asymmetric upside. Institutions don’t need to love altcoins to trade them. They don’t need governance to work or tokens to represent equity. They just need liquidity, volatility, narratives they can explain, and a market structure where BTC/ETH feel “done” for the cycle. That’s exactly when alts run. Retail isn’t “gone,” it’s dormant and capital-constrained. It always comes back late, chasing performance, not fundamentals. The buyer of altcoins has never been institutions seeking ownership — it’s been momentum traders, funds running relative value, and retail following price. Also, not all alts are governance theater anymore. A growing chunk are infra plays tied to usage (DA, oracles, L2s), revenue-sharing experiments (imperfect, but evolving), or pure beta vehicles for narratives (AI, RWAs, gaming, memecoins). None of those require clean ownership to outperform in a risk-on phase. You’re right that long-term, enforceable rights and cash flows matter. That’s the next evolution of crypto. But markets don’t wait for perfection — they front-run narratives and liquidity. Altseason doesn’t mean alts are “fixed.” It means risk appetite returns. And when BTC dominance rolls over and ETH momentum stalls, capital will look for the next place to express risk — flawed tokens and all. That’s why I don’t think altseason is dead. I think it’s just later, narrower, and more brutal than past cycles — and that points to next year, not never.

Contract Address- PwrwgEozK7RJNba6uQY81eoTBEmFhr6HhZE6aKbpump Right now Memecoins live on X, coins are going zero and cults last one hour tops. But crypto started on Reddit. Bitcoin was posted all over here, early cults like SPX6900 were born here as well. So why don’t we bring that back? That’s why we are creating r/officialmemecommunity — to gather and believe ### Reddit and Cryptocurrency: A Symbiotic Relationship and the Case for Reddit's Own Crypto Reddit, the self-proclaimed "front page of the internet," has long been a breeding ground for niche communities, viral memes, and grassroots movements. Since its founding in 2005, it has amassed over 430 million monthly active users, fostering discussions on everything from politics to pop culture. Among its most vibrant ecosystems is the world of cryptocurrency, where subreddits like r/Bitcoin, r/CryptoCurrency, and r/WallStreetBets have not only shaped public discourse but also influenced market dynamics. This interplay between Reddit and crypto highlights a unique synergy: Reddit's decentralized, user-driven model mirrors the ethos of blockchain technology. Yet, despite this alignment, Reddit has only dipped its toes into native cryptocurrency integration. In this exploration, we'll delve into Reddit's historical ties to crypto, its past experiments, and why the platform truly deserves its own cryptocurrency to empower its users, enhance community governance, and thrive in the Web3 era. Reddit's relationship with cryptocurrency began organically, long before the platform considered issuing its own tokens. The site's structure—divided into subreddits where users vote content up or down—naturally lent itself to crypto enthusiasts seeking unfiltered, pseudonymous discussions. r/Bitcoin, created in 2010, became one of the earliest hubs for Bitcoin advocates, attracting developers, miners, and investors to debate the merits of decentralized money. Here, users shared technical insights, price predictions, and philosophical rants against traditional finance, echoing Bitcoin's core principles of resistance to inflation and central control. As Bitcoin gained traction, Reddit amplified its visibility; early adopters used the platform to organize meetups, share wallets, and even coordinate charitable drives, like the infamous 2013 "Bitcoin Black Friday" promotions. By the mid-2010s, Reddit's influence on crypto markets became undeniable. Subreddits evolved into powerful echo chambers capable of moving billions in value. Take r/WallStreetBets (WSB), launched in 2012, which started as a forum for irreverent stock trading advice but pivoted heavily into crypto during the 2017 bull run. WSB's "diamond hands" mentality—holding assets through volatility—spilled over into crypto, fueling pumps in altcoins like Dogecoin. In 2021, WSB's coordinated push on GameStop stock (GME) sent shockwaves through Wall Street, proving Reddit's ability to democratize finance. This "Reddit effect" extended to crypto: Dogecoin surged over 20,000% that year, partly due to memes and endorsements on the platform, including from figures like Elon Musk. Even today, in 2025, subreddits like r/CryptoMarkets buzz with predictions for the next cycle, with users debating whether Bitcoin will hit $200,000 or if altcoins like Solana will dominate DeFi. Reddit's formal foray into cryptocurrency came in 2020 with the launch of Community Points, an Ethereum-based token system designed to reward user engagement. Under this initiative, two subreddits—r/CryptoCurrency and r/FortNiteBR—piloted tokens called MOON and BRICK, respectively. Users earned points for posting, commenting, and upvoting quality content, which could be redeemed for badges, emojis, or premium features. Stored in personal Ethereum wallets (dubbed "Vaults"), these tokens gave users true ownership, as Reddit couldn't revoke them. This was groundbreaking: it transformed passive participation into a tokenized economy, where contributions had tangible value. Gamers on r/FortNiteBR created over 3,800 wallets, outpacing crypto enthusiasts, showing broad appeal beyond niche audiences. Reddit aimed to expand this to more communities, burning a portion of tokens upon redemption to create scarcity and potentially drive value. However, the program faced hurdles. In 2023, Reddit discontinued Community Points citing scalability issues and regulatory uncertainties, migrating remaining tokens to Arbitrum for community management. Despite this, the experiment proved viable: MOON tokens traded on exchanges, with holders using them for governance votes in r/CryptoCurrency. Reddit pivoted to NFTs with Collectible Avatars in 2022, minted on Polygon, which sold millions and integrated blockchain without the volatility of full tokens. By 2025, Reddit's crypto involvement has shifted toward marketing and partnerships. Brands leverage subreddits for Web3 promotions, with strategies focusing on authentic engagement to build trust in blockchain communities. Discussions on X (formerly Twitter) highlight Reddit's role in crypto hype, from meme coins to quantum computing threats to Bitcoin. This history underscores why Reddit deserves its own cryptocurrency. First, it would align with the platform's core values of community ownership and decentralization. Reddit is already pseudo-decentralized: moderators run subreddits autonomously, and users govern through upvotes. A native token, say REDDIT or RDDT, could formalize this via DAO-like structures. Token holders could vote on site-wide policies, moderator elections, or feature rollouts, reducing reliance on centralized admins. This mirrors successful crypto projects like Decentraland or Uniswap, where governance tokens empower users. In an era of Big Tech dominance, a Reddit crypto would democratize the platform, preventing top-down decisions like the 2023 API changes that sparked protests. Second, a cryptocurrency would monetize user-generated content fairly. Reddit thrives on free labor—users create billions of posts annually, driving ad revenue that topped $800 million in 2023. Yet, creators get little in return beyond karma points. Tokens could reward quality contributions, similar to how Steemit or Hive pay posters in crypto. Imagine earning RDDT for insightful analyses on r/CryptoCurrency, redeemable for premium access, NFTs, or even fiat via exchanges. This incentivizes better content, reducing spam and echo chambers. For crypto specifically, it could fund educational initiatives or bounties for bug reports, fostering innovation. As one Reddit user pondered in 2025, if you had $100 to invest in crypto, diversifying into community-backed tokens like a hypothetical Reddit coin could yield real utility. Third, economic incentives would boost engagement and retention. Crypto's gamification—airdropped rewards, staking yields—could combat Reddit's churn. Users might stake tokens for boosted visibility or exclusive subreddits, creating a flywheel effect. This is especially relevant in 2025, amid a maturing crypto market with ETF approvals and institutional adoption. Reddit's vast user base (over 2 million in crypto subs alone) positions it to onboard masses into Web3 seamlessly. Unlike Facebook's failed Libra or Telegram's TON (halted by regulators), Reddit's token could start small, focused on utility rather than global currency, avoiding SEC scrutiny. As legal expert Preston Byrne noted, such tokens resemble loyalty points, not securities, if restricted to platform use. Critics argue crypto introduces volatility and scams, potentially alienating casual users. Reddit's past API backlash shows resistance to monetization shifts. However, with proper safeguards—like audited smart contracts and anti-bot measures—the benefits outweigh risks. In 2025, as Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs and altcoins recover, Reddit's absence from native crypto feels like a missed opportunity. Moreover, a Reddit crypto could drive social impact. Tokens could fund charitable causes, as seen in past Bitcoin donations, or support underrepresented creators. In biology or physics subreddits, tokens might reward peer-reviewed contributions, blending education with economics. Economically, it could value "mindshare"—the narrative power of communities—as one user suggested. In conclusion, Reddit and crypto are intertwined fates. From amplifying Bitcoin's early days to influencing market manias, Reddit has been crypto's megaphone. Its experiments with Community Points showed promise, and in 2025's evolving landscape, reviving or expanding a native token makes sense. Reddit deserves a crypto because it would reward its lifeblood—users—while embodying decentralization. It could transform Reddit from a forum into a thriving Web3 economy, where every upvote counts in tokens. As crypto matures, platforms ignoring this risk obsolescence. Reddit, with its rebellious spirit, should lead the charge. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

maybe Canton is a good project. But point of this post is - doesn't matter how good the project is. Token holders are not benefiting from the economic activity of the protocol. Devco/labs raise funds and sell equity to VCs. DAO raise their treasury through token sells. When company get acquired or makes gazzilion of $$ - token holders aren't benefiting. The only benefit is - attention. Hence - altcoins are all memecoins.

ZhenyaV

the problem - even if project is "strong" their coins worth nothing. Buybacks is not enough for the token to grow in value. Foundations and DAO can always turn off the fee switch. With current set up - token holders a royally screwed.

These are good points, imo recovery will be similar to Mt gox. , low trust, extreme fear. There’s no telling where the price will bottom, which is exactly why Saylor is scared despite his diamond hand attestations, and should be considering mstr is leveraged. The alternate path, freezing old coins, would be better for price in the short term, but on this path, imo trust in the network is a risk. It’s the same complaint Maxis have had against Ethereum since the 2016 DAO attack. Allowing people to voluntarily move their coins into quantum proof wallets is much more in line with bitcoin ethos. Quantum is the last remaining obstacle for bitcoin, everybody knows it just not when. And yes, I believe everyone will rush back in after the dust settles.

Today's market volatility proves exactly why platforms and users need this level of speed and accuracy in price data during high-fluctuation periods. Pyth is building the Bloomberg equivalent for crypto—providing high-fidelity, first-party market data that powers the backend of 700+ dApps and protocols in DeFi, borrow/lend, RWAs, and more. With the ongoing RWA boom, reliable on-chain pricing has never been more critical. I'm extremely bullish on $PYTH because of their sustainable revenue model. The team just announced the PYTH Reserve, a mechanism where one-third of the DAO treasury balance (funded by revenue from Pyth Pro subscriptions, Pyth Core on-chain price feeds, Pyth Entropy randomness, and Pyth Express Relay) will be used for monthly open-market $PYTH buybacks.This creates a true flywheel: as adoption of these products grows, revenue scales → treasury grows → larger monthly buybacks. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Most people who buy BTC treat it as a speculative investment -- or an asset. I am not disagreeing there. But by technical merits it is a currency. It has a native unit of account, a settlement network, finality, etc... People do use BTC to pay for things as well. None of this should be controversial. The OP was talking about cryptocurrencies in general, and obviously something like Ethereum has more clear uses as a currency. For example, to send stable coins somewhere, you need to spend some ETH. To do a decentralized finance transaction, you need to pay ETH. To buy an NFT, you need to pay ETH. To participate in DAO governance for something on-chain, you are probably also spending ETH.

Pyth Network just dropped a game changer: The PYTH Reserve! Pyth Pro already collected over $1M ARR in its first month — institutions are paying big for millisecond real-time data across crypto and equities. Revenue from Pyth Pro, Core, and Entropy fuels monthly open-market PYTH buybacks (1/3 of DAO treasury each time). Real adoption → Real revenue → Real buy pressure → Sustainable value flywheel. Targeting a slice of the $50B institutional data market. This is how we all win. Bullish on [$PYTH](https://x.com/search?q=%24PYTH&src=cashtag_click). Pyth Pro (2025): Premium subscription service launched to provide institutions (off-chain) enterprise-grade, low-latency data feeds outside blockchains. Pyth Core (2021): Focused on on-chain DeFi/blockchain applications — over 2,000 price feeds across crypto, equities, ETFs, FX, and futures with ultra-low millisecond latency and real-time prices pulled directly into smart contracts. Pyth Entropy: On-chain secure randomness that helps solve blockchain's determinism problem, enabling truly fair and unpredictable on-chain outcomes.

I said subs though, YouTube isn’t a subreddit. Reddit rewards some people but I don’t think it’s in every country and it’s not subreddit specific Sure it’s less than before but it’s still hundreds of dollars distributed a month. If you believe in the price going up eventually, then it’s thousands of dollars being distributed. Yeah the DAO gets hundreds of thousands of moons burnt, put in liquidity pools, etc. We’re a microcap with a constant stream of revenue, it’s a better investment than lots of useless L1s with massive inflation going straight in the pockets of VCs dumping on everyone else

Separating governance from consensus does not centralize control, it makes power explicit, bounded, auditable, and time-limited rather than informal and opaque. Permissionless systems routinely centralize in practice despite open admission, as Bitcoin and Ethereum demonstrate through mining pool concentration, validator cartels, and client monocultures. You are asserting that "Decentralization = permissionless". That is a your own philosophical definition, not an objective truth. Permissionlessness is one aspect to achieve decentralization, not the definition of it. Crypto did not discover decentralization. Distributed systems, economics, and political theory all treat decentralization as **multidimensional.** You're trying to collapse this multidimensional decentralized concept into one axis, "permissionlessness". That is rhetorically aggressive and intellectually weak. It is false historically, technically, and empirically. My claim is that Hedera is decentralized now, and that it will continue to become more decentralized into the future, with permissionless on that roadmap. Hedera's architecture and governance guarantees decentralization over time. Multidimensional. Permissionless is one of those dimensions that will be accomplished as Hedera scales. “A rotating, diverse council is still centralized” This confuses institutional authority with concentrated control. By this logic, any multi-party federation is centralized, any DAO with voting is centralized, any protocol with upgrade paths is centralized, etc. That definition collapses into absurdity, because every real system that evolves that way becomes “centralized” by definition. If that’s your own personal philosophy, that's fine, but then that means Bitcoin Core maintainers, Ethereum client teams, miners / validators signaling forks, etc are also centralized. You can’t have it both ways.

The website you have posted was registered just 6 months ago: https://www.whois.com/whois/dagfamilyoffice.com At best they are an untested 3rd party, offering to be middlemen (for a fee of course) between you and assets that were literally designed to remove the need for middlemen... At worst they are just scammers with a nice website and will never give your assets to your beneficiaries. Why on Earth would you take that risk? You talked about having used DeFi apps before, so will clearly have enough ability to set up a multisig. Assuming your spouse is your intended beneficiary the most obvious arrangement would be a 2 of 4, so you link 4 wallets as signers for the multisig, and require at least 2 to take any action. You use a wallet on your phone as one signer and a wallet on another device (laptop/desktop/hardware wallet/Raspberry Pi, old mobile, etc) as a second signer. These are the two signers you use as 2 of 4 normally when at home. A 3rd signer is a wallet on your spouse's phone. When you are out together the 2 of 4 signiatures for the multisig are your phone and theirs. Getting them to sign transactions is a good way to get them experience and confidence with the process if they don't use crypto themselves, and will also make them familiar with what assets you hold and what dApps you use. A 4th signer, probably stored just on paper as a seed phrase or private key is kept in a safe place, such as with your solicitor, or a sibling or trusted friend, with instructions to give it to your spouse when you die. Or of course you can retrieve it and use it if 2 of the other signers are lost (e.g. you and your spouse both lose your phones or whatever). Multisigs are the way that pretty much every OG stores their wealth, and not just individuals, pretty much every DAO treasury with billions of dollars worth of crypto secures it with multisigs. Don't pay some random company to hold your money for you!

It really seems crazy to me how many people recommend (and presumably use) online portfolio trackers... has no one learned anything about how the internet works over the last decade? These platforms are inevitably going to be harvesting and selling data on your assets, linked to your IP address, which then gets combined by data brokers with all the other info that has been gathered up on you. We have known since the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2016 that 'manipulation as a service' companies use this data to build psycological profiles of users, specifically identifying emotional vulnerabilities and exploiting them for not just financial but political and geopolitical gain. So with that in mind... why on Earth would you voluntarily give them live data on your trading habits and which scams you fall for? If you want a portfolio tracker then pick one like Rotki, it runs locally (i.e. on your computer) and is open source, so completely privacy-friendly. Nothing gets sent to anyone else's servers, no one knows what you have. Rotki even lets you connect to your own nodes if you run them, so blockchain queries aren't being leaked to your RPC. I know this sounds like an advert, but my only association with Rotki is that I've used it for... well almost since it existed. The basic version is free but I pay for premium mostly just to support the devs. It was created by Lefteris, one of the real OGs, who was involved in rescuing funds from the original DAO hack. It's a tool like Safe Multisigs that I think most people who have been in the space a long time use, but because it doesn't have a token or pay influencers to promote I guess newbies don't hear about it.

The DAO launch, a new better website, Teller rewards still at a great 20% APY and ongoing advertiser support that keeps burning Moons sold cheaply on the market while still increasing our liquidity position and treasury. Moons are looking great, and the price action is not reflecting it yet, but the hard work will definitely be rewarded soon. The tokenomics we have are great, and the use cases are not replicable and completely unique. Thanks for the updates. It's all very appreciated!

Buybacks aren’t something the DAO can do. As a nonprofit organization, our treasury cannot use funds to intervene in the secondary market or take actions intended to influence the price of MOON. Our Constitution requires that treasury spending support operations, ecosystem development, and community services, not price activity. What we can do is continue growing utility and reducing supply through the systems the community has already approved. All advertising payments result in MOON burns, and revenue is allocated across burns, distribution, DAO-owned liquidity, and treasury growth. As advertising demand increases, more MOON is burned and more value flows into the ecosystem. Our focus is on building sustainable utility, partnerships, infrastructure, and liquidity, which are the levers a nonprofit DAO is actually allowed to operate. Market prices will go where they go, but our job is to strengthen the foundations of the MOON economy, not manage the price.

You are bragging about $30k in DAO profit over several months as if it’s a massive achievement, but in the context of the "Top 300" projects you’re trying to compare yourself to, that number is statistically insignificant; established protocols generate that amount in fees in minutes, not months. Claiming $30k is "more value than most" is objectively false and shows a total lack of understanding of the market. You also claim "no one is looking to cash out," which is a direct contradiction of your own admission just minutes ago that you are "waiting for the market to recover to make money", that is the literal definition of waiting for exit liquidity.

Also, no one is looking to cash out after his buy lol, this thing is going to multiple USD as supply shocks are bound to happen with 45M in max circulation and tons of constant buys & burns while also making our treasury larger and using it for listings/buybacks at the same time. The funny thing is even your every comment helps burn more moons as it shows activity on the sub which we use to charge all these top crypto companies that advertise on here.

This was the AI response I received when I was researching: Morpho Blue, the core of the Morpho lending protocol, operates through a single, immutable smart contract called Morpho.sol deployed on Ethereum-compatible blockchains. This contract serves as a permissionless primitive for creating and managing isolated lending markets without centralized governance intervention after deployment. All markets exist within this one contract, which optimizes gas efficiency and allows unified access to liquidity across markets.   Key Components and Architecture • Market Struct: Each lending market is represented by a lightweight data structure within the Morpho contract. It includes: • Total supply and borrow assets/shares. • Loan token (e.g., USDC or WETH, the asset being lent/borrowed). • Collateral token (e.g., wstETH, used to secure borrows). • Price oracle (custom, oracle-agnostic; e.g., Chainlink or Uniswap TWAP, returning prices scaled to 1e36). • Interest Rate Model (IRM, a governance-approved contract that calculates dynamic rates). • Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV, a ratio like 0.86 for 86% max borrow against collateral value). • Fees and last update timestamp for interest accrual.Markets are isolated, meaning risks (e.g., bad debt) don’t spread between them, enhancing security.   • Position Struct: Tracks individual user positions per market, including supply shares (for lenders), borrow shares (for borrowers), and collateral amount (in assets, not shares).  • Governance and Immutability: The contract is immutable (~650 lines of code for auditability). A minimal governance module (e.g., via a DAO) approves new IRMs, LLTV options, and sets protocol fees (0-25% of interest), but cannot pause, modify, or delete existing markets. This reduces attack surfaces and ensures trustlessness.

You're welcome, it's one of the tools (like Safe multisig wallets) that I think people who have been in crypto for a long time all use, but the newer entrants maybe don't know about. No token or paid influencer hype so how would you hear about it unless you ask, which in this case you did! The creator (u/lefterisjp), is one of the real Ethereum OGs. He was one of the people who helped save the funds stolen in the original DAO hack, and has been a vocal advocate for open source software and what you might call cypherpunk values for about a decade.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced rollbacks, but they’re not comparable. Bitcoin’s rollback addressed a critical base-layer consensus bug, while Ethereum’s DAO rollback overrode flawed application-level contract logic.

Grayscale filing for a Zcash ETF is pretty significant for privacy coins as a whole. It shows institutional interest in the privacy-focused sector that many thought would remain fringe due to regulatory concerns. Worth noting that while Zcash has pumped 1000%, this isn't solely due to the ETF filing - the rally started earlier with Zcash's halving in November and the ECC restructuring to a DAO model. The ETF filing is adding fuel to existing momentum. If approved, this would be the first privacy coin ETF in the US, which is surprising given the historical regulatory scrutiny on privacy coins.

Moons are getting that DAO now. So all the revenue from ads, AMAs, sponsors, etc... is gonna be distributed to users when it gets all setup. There was also a new payment system that started using Moons, and a new DEX to trade Moons. Not related to Moons directly, but Bricks is another Reddit crypto that's gonna get delisted and abandoned. So it's starting to look like Moons might end up eventually being the only Reddit crypto still standing and still supported and developed.

There are multiple ways to define "manual intervention", and it's important to distinguish between them. There was no manual intervention at the protocol level and no manual modification of the blockchain. The biggest example of this is the Ethereum DAO hack. They manually rolled back the blockchain to before the hack (some validators didn't, which is what led to Ethereum Classic). This did not happen with Cardano. The protocol itself automatically favored the healthy chain as validators upgraded their nodes (and so rejected the malformed transaction which caused the fork). Upgrading node software to fix a bug is always going to be a manual action. When most people hear "manual intervention" in regards to a situation like this, they're going to think of something like the DAO hack or Solana's various restarts where validators agree (offchain) on how far to roll back before restarting the network. It's disingenuous to liken that to what happened on Cardano, which is what you're doing. The only thing validators did was upgrade their node software. You're being intentionally pedantic about this, and it's dishonest.

tldr; Aztec Labs CEO Zac Williamson highlights the struggle of blockchain to maintain its original decentralized purpose amidst growing institutional adoption. He notes that early governance failures, like The DAO collapse, shifted focus from community coordination to financial use cases. Williamson emphasizes the importance of privacy technologies, such as zero-knowledge cryptography, to enable blockchain to serve both individuals and institutions without compromising user autonomy or becoming merely a financial settlement tool. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

For just holding Moons in doesn't matter. They work on both. I think it's for using all the features and utility of Moons, distribution, DAO, governance, etc... that you might have to have them on arb to be able to use all that? I'm not 100% sure.

> Is there anything that am I missing? Originally, the point was to respond to the problem of cross-trading hundreds of different altcoins. When this flood of tradable alts first happened, Coinbase and others were slow and careful, didn't list trading pairs for most alts. To fill the gap, new exchanges appeared, with hundreds of trading pairs for obscure alts. But those exchanges didn't have fiat banking - not possible to send dollar deposits or receive dollar withdrawals. Where does the trader park his trading balance at the end of the say while he's sleeping? Obviously, he converts all alts to Bitcoin, has a good night's sleep, and starts again in the morning Sometimes Bitcoin is volatile. And it's too inconvenient to move Bitcoin out to Coinbase, sell for USD, hold USD overnight, and then rebuy BTC the next day Along comes Tether to fill this gap. Don't convert all alts to BTC overnight, convert them to USDT, and sleep even more soundly knowing the same USD amount is waiting to be traded next day, without having to transfer in and out of Coinbase This is still the main purpose of stablecoins, but there are more and more people using them for international funds transfer - avoid the 3-day SWIFT delay > Tether seems completely centralized True, and in their greed, they're eagerly sucking up to authorities, very quick to block and seize funds supposedly marked as money laundering or sanctions evasion But a stablecoin doesn't have to be centralized. It could have its own blockchain, and a DAO with the authority to purchase Treasury bonds. All the stables are tokens on smartchains, but they're not all centralized > People bring their USD and deposit in a tether account and in return Tether gives you a token that is backed by the money they are holding Not really. Tether only sells wholesale, with a very high minimum purchase amount. Effectively, they only sell to exchanges. Retail customers buy USDT on an exchange, not from Tether. The same applies to redemption > how is that decentralized and out of the reach of banks or government? Even in this subreddit, there's a loud group who don't care about crypto being decentralized. Stablecoin adopters are choosing to avoid the perceived volatility of BTC. Most don't care about decentralization. A few are pro-centralization because they think regulatory compliance (censorship and surveillance) brings legitimacy The wheel hasn't turned yet. Few people have the sense to read back to what happened to e-Gold when regulatory compliance was belatedly imposed, jackboot style. The timing of that case coincided with the development of decentralized Bitcoin. Stablecoins are about 2 years away from the kind of regulatory capture which confiscates the coins of innocent users. Centralization always leads to arbitrary confiscation, some years after the launch of any innovative money system

Every time the community levels up, I swear I hear that robotic choir chanting, “harder, better, faster, stronger.” It just fits too perfectly. Social Mining is basically the rhythm of the song in real life. You show up, put in work, tweak your skills, and suddenly your wallet looks happier and you’re accidentally becoming a more capable human. It’s like self-improvement but with better memes. And tell me this line doesn’t hit every Social Miner right in the soul: “That that don’t kill me can only make me stronger.” If that doesn’t sum up community sprints, all-night DAO weekends, and group chats that refuse to sleep, I don’t know what does. What makes it fun is that we’re not just stacking rewards — we’re evolving. Turning tasks into wins, vibes into value, and chaos into culture. New here? Grab your metaphorical pickaxe and plug into the tribe. The beat’s already playing. Let’s build — stronger. 💎⚡🚀 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

In time, the DAO owned liquidity is gonna grow heavily and we are gonna have 6 figure daily volume levels again, don't need to sell soon so its all good

SevereArrivals13

And that is why since 2 months ago we stopped burning everything and now supply the treasury and our own DAO liquidity with advertiser funds. It needs time to develop a bit though

illicitli

every currency is a DAO. we're literally just choosing in real time which AI / hardcoded system we want to govern all of humanity by...the investment is just the vote...did people not get that yet ???!!!

This crash had nothing to with BTC. It was a USDX error that liquidated everyone with collateral leverage. Horrible, but not a BTC or ETH issue. What happened: • USDX, issued by Stable Labs, lost its $1.00 peg on November 6 2025 and fell as low as ~$0.30–$0.60.  • The drop came after a liquidity shock when a Balancer V2 vault exploit drained USDX/sUSDX-related funds.  • USDX was used as collateral in various DeFi lending protocols (e.g., Lista DAO, Euler) and abnormal borrowing rates (e.g., 800% + APY) were observed, indicating under-collateralized risk exposure.  • As USDX’s market value collapsed, many positions using USDX as collateral became under-collateralized and were automatically liquidated. Some protocols executed flash loans to liquidate millions of USDX and recover other assets (e.g., Lista DAO liquidated ~3.5 million USDX to recover ~2.9 million USD1).  ⸻ Why the liquidation cascade occurred: • A synthetic stablecoin design (USDX) depended on hedged positions and liquidity, not simply fully-backed fiat reserves. When liquidity evaporated, the peg broke.  • Because USDX was widely integrated into lending collateral, when its value dropped, that triggered cascading liquidations across protocols that accepted it as collateral. • Lending protocols reacted by dumping collateral (USDX) and seizing positions, which further depressed USDX’s value — a feedback loop. • The sudden loss of confidence led holders and protocols to withdraw or reduce exposure rapidly, accelerating the cascade.

That's an optimistic take, but the dwindling voting numbers are hardly a testament to the utility or engagement of MOONs. While the DAO is transparent in its mechanisms, transparency doesn't equate to value or usefulness. The key point remains that the vast majority of holders simply aren't engaging with the token's primary use case, governance voting, to any meaningful degree. Eleven votes out of a community of millions speaks volumes about how "essential" most people view that supposed utility. If the "use cases keep growing," why are they not compelling enough to even get 1% of the holders to vote on basic proposals? The drop in participation shows that for most, the token is effectively useless for its intended purpose.
