DAOwn the Rabbit Hole: Why I Joined a DAO

I know what you’re thinking.

Jesus f*cking christ, now I have to mute Brett on Twitter.

I get it. You have a sour taste in your mouth from your exposure to the NFT space.

I bet you think NFTs are pretty silly if you are not the type of person who sees value in collecting things.

I originally let my deep skepticism of NFTs, pushed through the context of digital art collections, sour me on Web3 completely.

It took me a while to realize that I think all types of collection economies are stupid, including coins, stamps, and trading cards. All of it is fugazi value created purely by what those in the community are willing to pay.

But hey, some artists are getting pizzaid off this, so more power to them.

I have known about Bitcoin since my college years, but investing in it was just like day-trading currencies, and that never appealed to me as a creative.

Then I started to see some Tweets about DAOs. I lurked on the space for a couple of months, and then Constitution DAO launched the concept into the mainstream.

A few weeks later, a tweet about @CreatorCabins came across my timeline. There are a couple of reasons why I have gone from fence-sitter to fervent believer so quickly:

Mission tied to the physical world
Core team believes in the value of writing
Has tasted some mission success
Grand plans for the future
Get to LARP as a Society-Builder

Mission tied to the physical world

The grand vision fueling CABIN is essentially workshopping in real-time what a decentralized city would function like in the physical world. They already have a first node that they built in Texas Hill Country, 45 minutes outside of Austin, and have a couple more in the works.

I think this bridge between Web3 and the physical world is crucial when it comes to onboarding “normies” into Web3 / the DAO life.

The Core Team are Believers in the Value of Writing

A lot of DAOs do not see the value of written content in the strategic sense. They are too committed to decentralization in that they have no core processes designed to create a steady stream of content. Roxine and Zakk are great writers and understand the power of the written word.

I see a clear lane for me to quickly become an integral part of the team. If I was going to get involved in a DAO, it needed to catch my interest in this way.

Has Tasted Some Mission Success

At the end of the day, most DAOs just exist in the theoretical. They never end up turning their vision into something tangibly valuable.

CABIN has already built out their first node and has had 3 cohorts of creator residences. They raised funds to sponsor these residences.

The season 2 iteration of CABIN, which will be starting in January of 2022 is nearly sold out for week-long stays valued at 1 ETH for 4 people. This gets you an NFT passport, which is both a digital NFT and a physical card, that gives you access to the property.

That is more than enough proof of concept for me. They proved minimum viability, now achieving the grand vision is just a matter of scale.

Grand Plans for the Future

Simply put, this DAO is hot. The fact that they are tied to the physical world gives them a clear blueprint for scalability in a profitable manner. Each node is, when you strip it down, a retreat location for both teams and creative professionals. That business model already exists successfully.

I personally want to occupy the “bridge” between Web2 and Web3. I am not a Web3 native and I refuse to come off as a Steve Buscemi who tries to sound like they know all of the trendy things to know.

I don’t really know jack shit about Web3, but I DO know a ton about what it took to take Web2 from novelty to a multi-trillion dollar machine. A DAO like CABIN that operates in the intersection of the digital and physical world is a perfect project for me.

I have always fantasized about buying a campground and turning it into a retreat for remote workers, and the CABIN DAO provides a natural path to meet the team of people necessary to make such a vision a reality.

Get to LARP as a Society-Builder

I think what may turn most of you off initially from the concept of a DAO like CABIN or the others that have a mission revolving around being a decentralized city is it sounds like they believe they can exit out of traditional society completely.

What I like about CABIN is they seem to be solidly grounded in reality. They own a property currently and are successfully dealing with the real-world responsibilities that come with owning a property.

LARPing as a society-builder is not about creating a new nation in any sense of seceding, but rather using a new form of organization to tackle the same age-old problems that every great society faced at their incubation stages.

My Vision for DAOwn the Rabbit Hole

You know how so much of what we know about the most significant society-building moments of humanity are journals from random people?

Well, this is kind of how I see this publication. It will serve as a primary source for those who want to see what it is like to join a DAO as your point of orientation into Web3. I hope that by reading my experiences, you will become curious about DAOs yourself and see Web3 is more than just a bunch of stoned monkeys and bad pixel art.
