Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 123 - Dream DAO - Empowering Gen-Z builders with Web3 to regenerate the planet
In episode 123, we’re excited to welcome Amanda Maritan and Shaan Patel, Co-Stewards of Dream DAO, a movement that gives Gen Z the funding, mentorship, and training to contribute to Web3 projects that regenerate people and our planet. We discuss their programs that have helped onboard Gen Z leaders to Web3, why young people should get excited about blockchain, how Web3 technology can help regenerate the planet, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
You don’t have to be a computer scientist or super tech savvy to succeed in Web3. As Web3 is a new and emerging space, there’s a place for everyone to build, regardless of their background or area of expertise.
Gen-Z has grown up using technology that they had no part in building, and platforms that are often misaligned with their values. By building in Web3, it gives Gen-Z the opportunity to shape the future of technology, and ensure it aligns with their values.
Youth are deeply committed to building a regenerative future, but often lacked the tools and network to coordinate at a global level. Web3 helps solve the coordination problem, and will be a gamechanger in helping youth build a more sustainable world.
