200 episodes in & we’re just getting started 🚀💥

We celebrated with a special live episode featuring the voices of the community, past guests, and reflections on how far the Web3 for good space has come ✨🎙️

AI & Crypto are here to stay—whether we like it or not.

Both have massive potential to help drive progressive change. But if progressives keep turning away from these tools, we risk ceding the future to big tech & extractive capitalism.

Let’s shape the tech and use it for GOOD, not shy from it. 💚

We’re almost at Ep. 200 🥳… but first let's look back in time ⏪

For episode 199, we've put together a special "starter pack" highlighting 10 inspiring use cases of blockchain for good - from remittances to decentralized science! 💸👩‍🔬

🎧Listen: www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-...

We've always been able to align around shared values, but financial alignment required trusting middlemen. Now blockchain puts that trust into code—no intermediaries needed 🌐🤝

-Simon of The Soci3ty on how Web3 enables greater community alignment 👇

Personally, I'd trust code over big banks any day!

Agreed - unfortunately it's the case with many next gen technologies. The tech is here to stay, so ignoring it and shunning those who are interested in exploring the progressive use cases gives the right, and tech oligarchy, free reign over the future of the technologies.

One of the biggest challenges nonprofits face is sustainable funding for operations 💸⚙️

While donors often prioritize direct impact, core funding is vital for long-term success.🌱

@jonruth.bsky.social of Climate Coordination Network shares how Glo Dollar can help CCN & other nonprofits solve this 🎯

"Because this system is so open & you can buy a piece of somebody else's idea, there are these native incentives to collaborate that make working in DeSci way more fun than working in the traditional scientific system" 👩‍🔬🌐
