Humans are social animals that love to be around like-minded people and have fun. Over time, the fun activities led to building something cool, and they shared it with their neighbors and friends in the community. Since humans were primates living a foraging lifestyle, this has been the case. Although technology advanced and almost half of the earth’s population carries a supercomputer in their pockets, the instinct related to gathering like minds and working together on a project they all like has not changed much.
This can be seen throughout programming – nearly all the popular software frameworks, operating systems, database systems, and machine learning algorithms are predominantly created by NOT FOR PROFIT organizations. Linux is a prime example. Most of the world runs on Linux, which is built by volunteers. Software released under the Apache Foundation umbrella falls into this category.
Where are we going with this and how does it relate to DAOs? That’s what I’m going to talk about next. While these people built systems for fun, there was no practical way for them to earn money. As a result of the lack of income, many community members have stopped doing the work that they love to feed their families. Wouldn’t it be great if you could work on something you’re passionate about while also earning a living? That’s where DAOs come in! Using DAOs, loosely coupled, like minded people can find tasks of their passion, build them together and make a living! With DAO, anyone can work from anywhere in the world and earn money while doing what they love.
