Erik Voorhees on Turning ShapeShift Into a Decentralized Autonomous Organization

<p>Crypto pioneer and ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees comes on the podcast to talk about his most radical decision to date: decentralizing ShapeShift fully into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). We talk the company's history, and how regulatory issues caused significant issues, and how new decentralized exchange architecture allowed for a shift to something more sustainable. We also talk the decision to then get rid of the entire corporate structure and move to a full DAO model, along with what exactly that would look like. Finally, we go over some of the complexities and challenges facing a DAO model and whether or not the current ShapeShift team, including Erik, are ready to face them head-on.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Donate - Sponsors</strong></p> <p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://cointr.ee/thedesertlynx"><img src="https://thumbs.spee.ch/view/6/c08cb11db17d83ff.png"></a><a href="https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/?code=DCN"><img src="https://thumbs.spee.ch/view/b/f137d0b33d1409e2.png"></a><a href="https://shopinbit.com/en/conciergeservice-ordering-service?sPartner=joel"><img src="https://spee.ch/e/9db4e4cdbf5cb4c2.png"></a><a href="https://odysee.com/$/invite/@DigitalCashNetwork:c"><img src="https://spee.ch/c/5f7114bdc654c72e.png"></a><a href="https://nordvpn.org/dcn"><img src="https://thumbs.spee.ch/view/1/525e9eeafe3ace37.png"></a><a href="https://presearch.org/signup?rid=865012"><img src="https://thumbs.spee.ch/view/d/35bf74741f029611.jpg"></a></p> <p>Thank you so much for listening!
