I had to pause at 11:30 because you struck two chords with me back to back.
The first was using crypto profits to fund new projects. I'd like to pick your brain regarding tokenomics of governance tokens for the project I've been working on.
The second is a little less applicable but led my on a brief journey of discovery and that was using DAOs to fund cancer research.
I recently met a lady that works at the local medical university doing cancer research, and told her about this place and she's very enthusiastic about it, but that's not the point. The point is she mentioned her supervisor was in the process of requesting a new grant, and if you recall, I once thought it would be cook to use a DAO to buy medical patents, profit enough to incentivize, then release into the public domain, so I asked if it might be worth her time to toss a proposal on the DHF.
I don't really think our community is ready for something like that yet, but I would be very interested to see what kind of response it got as far as general discussion and who in the community would support it or not and why.
Alas, she said her supervisor would never go for it, and although we didn't come to any conclusions, we landed in the area of not even having considered how the government might react to a government funded program seeking additional outside funding, especially in regard to human testing. I think this involves sepsis damage to the Vega nerve or something, but they also grow cancer cells for testing if I understood her correctly, but I don't know how that fits into the tests.
The point of it all is I'm very eager to see this start to unfold in the coming years and I wonder what some of our first non-monetary uses of it will be. I hope it's something like cancer research... it'll probably be a better boner pill...
