Josh wraps up the CPO season MCON letters by covering the third of this years talking about "Culture". Some of it is agreeable, some of it not really.
In this episode, we dive into the evolution of DAO communities and events with Yalor and Stacey. From the early days of MetaCartel, MCON & MetaCamp, to the ambitious vision of MetaCampus, we talk about the importance of in-person gatherings and building the social fabric. What are MetaCamp and MetaCampus? Why choose Costa Rica for building a Web3 village, and why choose Detroit for MCON III? And most importantly, why investing in relationships might be more valuable than chasing the next memecoin? “More financial games are not what will move the world and save us from impending collapse." - Yalor These are some of the questions and answers discussed. Overall: Origins of MCON and MetaCamp The GM Bus project Evolution of MetaCartel and its impact on the ecosystem The concept and development of MetaCampus The importance of community-building in Web3 Why Detroit as the new location for MCON Doing conferences differently The social layer and relationship-building at MetaCamp Reputation and identity in decentralized networks The value of in-person gatherings A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to MetaCamp, an offshoot of MCON that offers a more intimate atmosphere in Costa Rica. The guests explain how this event has evolved into MetaCampus, a permanent facility designed to host various Web3 events and foster deeper connections within the community.

Welcome back to another special episode of Crypto Sapiens. Today we are featuring conversations captured LIVE from MCON2. This was an emotional experience for me as MCON1 was my first ETH event; it was also the public debut of Crypto Sapiens. Previous to that, we had published just 2 episodes, and there I was now hosting LIVE interviews!?! Thankfully I was embraced as a longtime contributor and friend. MCON is clearly an important event for the web3 community. MCON2 brought together many builders and enthusiasts to experience “valuable conversations, learnings and experimental growth all about DAOs.” In this episode, we feature a few of those participants to learn from their stories. I hope that you find the conversations fun and engaging and get a sense of the energy from the event. Our speakers include: Nathan from Snapshot, Stacy, Mandy, and Kyle with gmBus, 0xJustice from Bankless DAO, Grendel with Polygon DAO, Reese from Coordinape, Diana from Rehash DAO, Sasquatch with RaidBrood, Jen with Crypto Stitch, Peth from Metagame and Andros from Wonderverse. And an extraordinary conversation with Yalor about the mission of MCON and the impact it has on web3. I enjoyed every minute of this event, and I truly hope you got a sense of the energy from these conversations. I would highly recommend marking your calendar for MCON3 next year. Because I believe the spectacle will be even more incredible than ever. To learn more about MCON, go to mcon.fun and on Twitter at @ mcon_world Thanks for listening to Crypto Sapiens.

Orange is a reputation and trust minting protocol that aggregates data and Web3 reputation models to generate comprehensive reputation proofs in the form of Verifiable Credentials and NFTs. It can be used to objectively calculate and assess the "reputation" for a Decentralized Identifier (DID), and associated wallet addresses. It takes multiple data points into account to assess user behavior and preferences. User data can be processed and manifested as "minted reputation" to be stored, exchanged, and used in different forms, such as Verifiable Credentials (VCs), or NFTs. Today's guest is Humpty Calderon. Humpty is perhaps best known around Bankless DAO for CryptoSapiens, a web3 podcast series that got its start as “Tuesday Talks” inside the Bankless DAO Discord server in mid 2021. Today Humpty joins us to talk about Orange Protocol, a reputation and trust minting protocol that aggregates data and Web3 reputation models to generate Verifiable Credentials and NFTs. Humpty hosts regular meetups in the Los Angeles area, and will also be attending and speaking at MCON in Denver in September.
