Unfortunately there are a lot of scams in the web3 space. The projects doing real good far outweigh these scams, of course, but this doesn’t take away from the importance of being able to recognize bad actors in the space. In this episode, we discuss what you should look for when evaluating potential partners and projects in web3, and some red flags that could indicate that a project is a scam.

For many non-profits, April is the start of a new fiscal year and fundraising year. As non-profits continue adjusting to the changing philanthropic environment, they are looking for new ways to engage with potential donors. Now is the time for non-profits to begin accepting cryptocurrency donations.

Twice a week, I have the honor of hosting the Crypto Altruism podcast. One of the most enriching aspects of this experience, is having the opportunity to meet and engage in dialogue with a number of community leaders and changemakers. Throughout these conversations, some core themes have begun to emerge. In this post I reflect on five of these themes.

On February 24th, 2022, from 2pm-5pm EST, Crypto Altruism Founder Drew Simon will be co-hosting ChangeDAO’s 7 Stories of Social Change Show. This experience, hosted on Twitter and Spatial, is a celebration of NFTs as a Force for Change, and aims to elevate the stories of seven amazing changemakers who are using NFTs for good.

One of the biggest benefits for humanity, that will be ushered in by blockchain, is the role it will play in helping cut out the middle man, or intermediary organizations, that have traditionally funneled money away from the average individual and put it in the hands of the already wealthy.

In this episode, we  discuss a topic that can be, well, fear inducing for many in the web3 community: Blockchain and government! But don’t worry, we’re not talking about regulation here, or how governments are trying to shut crypto down. Instead we focus on how blockchain and crypto can build better governments.

In this episode, we share some strategies for how to stay well while working in the web3 space. Let’s face it, the web3 space is overwhelming and fast paced, and it can often be difficult to keep up. The end result can sometimes be stress, anxiety, and constant FOMO. By using some of these strategies, it can help ensure you get the most out of web3 while taking care of your self.

In this episode, we explore some of the prevailing narratives around crypto and blockchain, that are often negative or exaggerated, and challenge them head on. These perceptions create stigma around the space, which can act as a barrier to entry for some, and discourage those from the social impact sector, such as charities, non-profits, and community leaders, from engaging with the space.
