Stacy Neale, a representative from Dacoco, the publisher of Alien Worlds, discusses the blockchain game they developed. Alien Worlds is the number one blockchain game by users and the number one decentralized application in the world. It’s designed to be a dynamic game that combines elements of a DAO, NFT token metaverse, and gaming experience. The game allows users to mine in-game tokens called Trillium and participate in missions that reward them with tokens and NFTs.

In this episode, Shimon follows up with the banking crisis and the new programs creating stimulus in the banking system. We then talk about some exciting recent advancements in artificial intelligence.

The Federal Reserve has opened up the market to unlimited liquidity for banks, resulting in a significant increase in deposits. The banks struggled to put the money to work due to low-interest rates, which made it difficult to generate yield. The Fed predicted that inflation was transitory and interest rates would remain low for a long time, but inflation started picking up due to increased money supply and the war in Ukraine. Inflation expectations could cause prices to rise dramatically if inflation is not tamed. The total money supply of U.S. dollars has constantly been increasing since 1981. A decrease in the growth rate causes the stock market to crash as interest rates increase, making it harder to fund projects. The recent liquidity injection into the banking system will impact Bitcoin and the stock market.

Our special guest is Professor Lawrence Kotlikoff, an economics professor at Boston University and ranked by The Economist magazine as one of the world’s 25 most influential economists. Larry is also the President of Economic Security Planning, Inc. and the founder of Maximize My Social Security and MaxiFi.

We spoke about different investment strategies, ways for governments to grow their GDP to fund their unfunded liabilities, some interesting solutions to the healthcare costs crisis, ways in which technology can create prosperity, and more.

In part two of the series with Larry Kotlikoff, a Boston University professor and influential economist, the discussion focused on Social Security and Medicare reform. The United States is facing a debt crisis with a debt to GDP ratio of 94%, including off-the-books liabilities and obligations such as defense spending, infrastructure maintenance, and transfer payments to citizens. Social Security alone has a fiscal gap of $61 trillion, which is much higher than the official debt of $22 trillion. In order to address this problem, Kotlikoff suggests reorganizing and making the system more efficient, such as reducing healthcare spending from 18% of GDP to 11%, which would save 7% of GDP and solve the fiscal gap problem. Raising taxes and cutting spending are politically and economically unfeasible solutions.

Jesse and Priscilla talk with medieval scholar Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis, who identified a page at an estate sale that turned out to be a lost fragment of a medieval manuscript from around 1285 that she had been studying for 15 years.

Looted medieval manuscripts are difficult to track and conserve. Efforts to restore and repair them are important to recover some of the loss.

• Many books, art, and sculptures from the medieval period have been destroyed, making the restoration work valuable.
• Lost manuscripts may never be known until they are found.
• As a medievalist, any effort to restore some of the loss is valuable to someone.
• The fire at Notre Dame is an example of how significant works of art can be lost.
• Medieval manuscripts are difficult to track and are often stolen.
• Looters sell manuscripts to collectors, making them difficult to retrieve.
• Efforts to restore and repair looted medieval manuscripts are important to recover some of the cultural loss.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete” Buckminster Fuller

The world today is driven by capitalism. There is exceptional innovation in the private goods sector because the creation of scarce goods and services is controlled by market feedback.

Without the opportunity to use market feedback, public goods lack effective coordination and funding mechanisms. The sector is dominated mainly by governments (funded by taxes) and nonprofits (funded by donations).

DAOs provide an opportunity to build new systems where public goods can be created from the “bottom-up” with end-user input and cooperative community engagement, and abundant, non-excludable value can be created with a global impact.

Impact DAOs benefit from decentralized governance, regenerative funding mechanisms, and a diverse stakeholder group and have the potential to change the world for the better.

We used to live in a world where the only input to an individual’s reputation and identity was their word. After all, “A man is only as good as his word.”

Now we face the opposite problem: too many inputs from too many unverified sources. It’s less about your word and whatever words an algorithm places on top of a search field.

At its core, Web3 can take promises made with words and verify them with actions, putting your wallet address where your mouth is. But how should this information be visualized? How do we unify a user’s identity, protect their privacy, and verify sources contributing to this identity? How do we take work out of silos and collaborate? What does reputation look like in this new ecosystem?

Disco is creating data backpacks for off-chain credentials. Optimism has started widely adopting on-chain NFT quests, and impact cards are measuring impact on and off-chain, and so on. As more projects try to represent the multifaceted actions and build the Web3 persona, let’s ask some tough questions about what this should look like, existing projects philosophies on web3 identity, and, more importantly, where should this information live on-chain, off-chain, and both?

EthDenver attendees are the stewards of identity and reputation now and what it will look like in the future. The ideas shared in this panel will spread into the work that builders are doing and become a point of consideration for users. How will this project contribute to building the Web3 persona, how do you want to be represented in Web3, and do you agree with this approach? An individual chooses their words and their actions, but it’s up to us to find a way for them to relay this to the broader Web3 ecosystem accurately. “
