Alright, time to get back to the question, What's the Hype with DAOs? In the last episode, we discussed what DAOs are, how do they work and why we need them. Plus, we took a quick look at the differences between DAOs and traditional organisations. For this podcast episode, we're going to get into more technical details, talk about the 'Original DAO', types of DAOs and different types of memberships. Let's begin!

In today's episode, we discuss:

1. (01:28) Story of the 'Original DAO' 🏚

2. (03:11) Types of DAOs 🗂

3. (05:07) Types of DAO memberships 📝

Welcome back to a brand new episode of What's The Hype? with Perfunktory. I hope you all are following your new year resolutions and I hope you continue to do so till at least February. Personally, I haven’t set any resolutions for this year because I started making the changes I wanted to implement this year from early December itself, but I can’t deny the boost in productivity that you get at the start of a new year. Everything seems possible and the year promises to be the best one ever. I hope it turns out to be a brilliant year for you, definitely one for the books!

Before we move forward, I strongly urge all of you to take utmost care of yourself and your family since COVID cases are on the rise again. Hope that it does not get to the level of the second wave which was devastating. Take care and mask up!

Did you hear about the DAO that tried to buy a rare copy of the US Constitution a few weeks back? They got outbid by Citadel's CEO in the auction but the way they managed to raise $40 million dollars was commendable and showed us all the power of Community and Twitter. But what exactly is a DAO and why do you see everyone talking about it these days?

That brings me to the question, What's the Hype with DAOs?

In today's episode, we discuss:

1. (02:08) What is a DAO? 🏢

2. (03:16) How do DAOs work? 🏋️‍♀️

3. (04:05) Why do we need DAOs? 🤔

4. (05:29) DAOs vs Traditional Organisations 📝

Welcome back to a brand new episode of What's The Hype? with Perfunktory. Alright, I admit that I've been a little behind with the consistency of the podcast and the newsletter but guys, the shaadi season was upon us which actually was quite busy for me this year. But now we're back and we'll try to pick up the pace once again. December is the holiday month of the year, no? Just can't seem to get anything done and plus it's so cold so productivity goes down majorly.

Did you know that a record number of employees are quitting or thinking about doing so? Let’s take a deep dive into what this is, why is this happening and how can companies make the best of this situation. Again, this is just a perfunktory take on the situation and covers the most important facts on the surface. I'm sure there are smaller details here and there that also contribute to this phenomenon taking place.

That brings us to the question, What's the Hype with The Great Attrition or The Great Resignation?

Welcome back to a brand new episode of What's The Hype? with Perfunktory. There was no newsletter issue this week since I still haven't finished writing on the topic I have selected. I can give you a hint that it's in the music industry and that's the field that I work in primarily so it's natural that the imposter syndrome sets in and it takes more time to do something than it usually should. I hope to have it done and complete by this Monday so you should have something in your inboxes.

There was a brief news on 11th November, 2021 that Evergrande, the second largest real estate developer in China, has officially defaulted on its bonds. It was unable to make the required interest payments of $148 million in time. Although there was a follow up to that news that they met a deadline to pay overdue interest on three US-dollar bonds before their grace period ended, a report said Thursday, signalling it had averted another potential default and triggering a rally in their shares. Evergrande was up 8.4 percent in Hong Kong morning trade. But what exactly happened with Evergrande and what led to this situation that it is in right now?

Welcome back to a brand new episode of What's The Hype? with Perfunktory. As we enter the hangover months of the year, I've started building a list of goals that I want to achieve before the end of this year. I have a solid target for the Perfunktory Newsletter and the Podcast and together we'll try to hit these before the year comes to a close. I also want to start a community either on Discord or Slack so do let me know what you use and we'll get started there as well.

Welcome back to a brand new episodes of What's the Hype? with Perfunktory. My name is Ravdeep Anand. Last week was really tough considering I spent most of my time on the bed with a fever. Perfunktory is still very much a one-man operation so if I am sick, the entire operation comes to a full-stop. I will try my best to take out two episodes this week of the podcast so we get back on track. I hope you checked out the newsletter issue that I wrote on Squid Game and how it is a satire on the impact of capitalism on our society. I had a lot of fun researching the issue and these themes were swirling through my brain even when I was watching the show. But this week for the podcast, we'll be discussing something totally different and also something that is not in the crypto space. If you have any questions, feedback or any suggestions to improve the newsletter or podcast further, do reach out to me on our Instagram or Twitter.

Have you heard the news? Facebook is reportedly changing their name to signal that they are not a social media company but a Metaverse company. The change could be announced at the company’s annual Connect Conference on October 28th or earlier than that. Facebook has already announced plans to invest $50 million as part of its efforts to create a ‘responsible’ metaverse. It also plans to create nearly 10,000 new jobs in Europe as part of its ‘metaverse’ ambitions. That brings us to the question - What's The Hype with the Metaverse?

Let me guess: You’ve been hearing about NFTs from every Crypto bro on your Instagram feed, your WhatsApp group which discusses investments all day or even your favourite ‘Life Guru’ preaching to you about their NFTs rather than life lessons and you’re just wondering - WHAT ARE NFTs?

Welcome to the first episode of What's The Hype? with Perfunktory. My name is Ravdeep Anand and together, we'll be going on a journey of 20 episodes for our first season. I had been thinking about starting a podcast since a while and I believe there couldn't be a better time to begin than now. I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing but the good folks at India Film Project and Anchor by Spotify have been helping out with a lot.

Let me give you situation that you might find relatable. You're reading something in the paper, on the web or while doom-scrolling through social media. You come across something and the first thing that comes out of your mouth is What's the Hype?

My name is Ravdeep Anand, and I spend a lot of my time perfunctorily reading about all kinds of things. But due to today’s ‘content’ overload and the unnecessary hype around things, it becomes difficult to cut out the noise and get to the bottom of what is happening around us.

That's where this podcast comes in. Acting as a supplement to our newsletter, What's The Hype? by Perfunktory aims to break down trending subjects as perfunctorily as possible. But what does Perfunctory mean? It means an action that is carried out without real interest, feeling, or effort. That's what this is supposed to be, an effortless, no agenda, playground where we discuss everything from music to gaming, technology, culture and my favourite, The Metaverse. I will also be joined in these conversations by some of the folks who already work in these fields, sharing their experiences and takeaways.
