Hi All,
I’m going to start this by quoting Nuno Jardim Nunes - Computer Scientist at Technico in Lisboa. During his recent talk at Sonar Festival Lisboa he said “art makes science palatable”. Not many people are interested in reading whitepapers and academic papers and if we rely on that for adoption we will be waiting for a long time and i really do concur with him. The Creatives DAO is arguably the most powerful adoption/marketing tool of this ecosystem because art makes crypto - a science - palatable. Furthermore, Near is an inflationary asset - around 4% if i’m right - with an uncapped supply which means if it stops growing it will probably slowly collapse. I’ve not looked into precise numbers but i would not be surprised if the Creative DAO was and still is the most effective growth vertical of the ecosystem generating the most active wallets. Active wallets are probably a key metric here given that we are talking about metrics. Creating 5000 wallets a month is not going to be of any use to anyone if they are not actively used right? Subsequently if the foundation is to let go of the Creatives DAO, again i would not be surprised if this project does not make it through this bear market. On other news, a troubled struggling community will also be a great disincentive for Venture Capitalists so they will probably stop investing which will get us close to a death spiral scenario experienced by Terra recently. I’m probably pushing the metaphor here but you get my point right? Funding cuts and the politics of austerity have never really served their purpose and this is especially relevant for a project that is if i’m not mistaken inclusive, politically and ethically left leaning. As to data science, i’m not sure we have really figured out the science behind it as it is up to anyone to read anything into data. Not long ago and i mean a few decades, cigarettes and milk were advertised as the best thing for us and here we are now talking about how terrible they are for us.
I’m talking here on behalf of the Jazz DAO. I’ve been council on VR, Arroz Criativo and cofounded Golden Blue and Jazz DAO. I’m potentially a PhD drop out from an A.I. lab at Goldsmiths University - London that does Data Science but i’ve not dropped out yet. Goldsmiths’ mission is again Art & Science - being one of the top institutions part of this conversation. I’m also privileged with careers in the music industry and the charitable sector in the UK. I hope this is enough for introductions. Wishing you all good luck in your projects.
