Gabby Dizon, Cofounder of Yield Guild Games, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. Founding Yield Guild Games (YGG): Gabby reflected on his childhood passion for computer games which led him to a career in game development and startups. He shared how he first met his cofounders Beryl Li and Owl of Moistness online, and how his CTO maintained his anonymity during a later $4.6M funding round from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). 2. Web3, Gaming & Crypto Industry: He delved into the cyclical bull-and-bear nature of crypto, and the contrasting roles of good and bad actors. He also discussed digital scarcity and how it applies to the gaming world, emphasizing the parallels with physical assets and trading. He also discussed YGG's strategic evolution from an asset lending model to a more comprehensive system involving quests, achievement platforms, and the integration of real-world applications like credentials. 3. Generational Shifts: Gabby spoke about the importance of bridging the gap between millennials, Gen Z, and future generations. He underscored the founder's responsibility of reshaping the world and normalizing new technologies and connects this to his personal experience as a father who is comfortable discussing with his children about Web3 as a place for learning and experimentation. They also talked about the future of work and the relevance of traditional education, how content consumption influences actions, and the impact of communities in the crypto and gaming sectors.

My guest on today's show is Beryl Li, an entrepreneur in the blockchain gaming space and the cofounder of Yield Guild Games. YGG is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that invests in non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are utilized in virtual worlds and blockchain-based games. Gaming is an area that I know very little about but as we enter the Metaverse, it's becoming ever more important and I especially want to better understand how blockchain and decentralization will play a role in its future evolution.

In this newest GoodWill Yunting YC Round Table episode, I sit down with Sath, Butler, and CMDR of Yunt Capital to talk all things bear market, 3AC, governance, and more. There was much to cover since the last YC Round Table episode, so we dive right into the juicy meat of what happened with 3AC.

In this episode, I speak with Luis Buenaventura, Philippines country manager for Yield Guild Games, or YGG, which is a play-to-earn gaming guild, giving metaverse players opportunities to earn in blockchain-based currency. Luis has also been a pioneer of web3 in the Philippines. He has founded several businesses, including syndeo media, Infinite.ly, Rebit.ph, and most recently, the BloomX cryptocurrency exchange.

Packy and Gabby discuss the future of ownership, earning, and work and how the the x-to-earn model can shape the world in the next decade.

My guest today is Beryl Li. Beryl is a co-founder of Yield Guild Games, aka YGG. YGG was the very first play-to-earn gaming guild and has achieved huge success. Today, guilds are ubiquitous across the metaverse but hearing from Beryl how YGG started and where they are headed is extremely exciting. It is also amazing to hear Beryl's stellar background from working at the successful Philippines-based crypto startup coins.ph, to working with major banks and financial institutions like BlackRock. It this type of background and experience that is needed to operate and scale YGG to be the number 1 leader in the P2E ecosystem.

- How DAO's (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) offer an alternative to traditional corporations, and how they work: membership, voting, governance tokens, identity, collective ownership- Collective bargaining and the "network state"- Six DAO's I find interesting: MakerDAO, Universe, Uniswap, Moloch, IndexCoop, and FlamingoEdit from 10/12: Added a section at 13:21 on DAO's acting almost like unions or lobbyists to advocate on behalf of their members.Edit from 12/22 (I also ended up updating the audio itself in this episode on January 2, 2022): In this episode, I say that "If you want to contribute your skills and knowledge to a DAO, it doesn't matter how old you are, what race or gender you are, or where you live."I want to clarify, because there's an important nuance here.When I say that your race and gender "don't matter," I mean it in two senses: (1) that you can choose to stay anonymous if you want, and (2) that, because of the reduced bureaucracy in crypto and DAO's, there are fewer hoops to jump through, and you can deal with smart contracts instead of loan officers or other human bureaucrats who might be racist, sexist, or have other conscious or unconscious biases toward certain identities. However, despite all that, identity always matters in a different sense: All races and genders have not been given equal access and opportunity in general in the world, and there's inherent privilege simply in being white, male, heterosexual, non-disabled, etc.For example, whether or not they're able to be anonymous in crypto, people from historically-marginalized groups (e.g., Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, etc.) have faced many barriers in their lives that have made it harder to accumulate the wealth that could act as their initial investment into crypto and DAO's.It's ok if all that is confusing or you feel defensive or angry reading it. It's a big subject, and I invite you to read the series I wrote about race in the United States for more information (https://www.michaelcaloz.com/race-for-white-people-part-1/). It's non-political and written in the same style as this crypto series—aiming to be gentle, approachable, and starting from the basics.Also, here's an excellent thread (by Karsen Daily) on how it's problematic to say that "race and gender don't matter" in regards to crypto and Web3 specifically: https://twitter.com/karsendaily/status/1473534549355155459.-----The corresponding blog post with links and images:https://www.michaelcaloz.com/2021/08/01/easing-into-crypto-part-12-daos-organizations-managed-by-algorithms-governance-tokens-collective-ownership-and-the-network-state/
