CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: This DAO Is Trying to Buy the Constitution for $20M

A look at one of the boldest experiments in internet financial organizing yet. 

This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.

On Thursday, Nov. 18th, Sotheby’s is auctioning off one of just 13 (or 11, depending on your source) copies of the original edition of the U.S. Constitution, printed in September 1787 for distribution to members of the Continental Congress and the states that would need to debate and ratify the document. It’s the first time the document has been for sale in a third of a century, and this time, a new DAO has sprung up to make the purchase collectively. On today’s episode, NLW breaks down ConstitutionDAO, looking at:

  • What the project is trying to achieve 
  • How quickly it’s coming together and gaining momentum
  • What it means for the future of DAOs

The Intelligence from The Economist - Peronists’ peril: Argentina’s elections

The ruling party got a pasting at the polls, owing in part to a reeling economy. We ask what the opposition’s gains mean for the country. The practice of assisted dying is being enshrined in law the world over; we examine the ethical dimensions of its spread. And why electric vehicles failed to keep their market dominance a century ago.
