Full Disclosure

I, Ernest Of Gaia, am one of the DAOPlanet Co-Founders. The knowledge that I have learned in the BanklessDAO has been crucial to what I have shared with folks in DAOPlanet and vice-versa. While I don’t claim to be nearly as active as most other Founders and many other Members, I do have a vested interest in its success as an Organization and I do see the success of both DAOs to be mutually beneficial and aligned in Values and Mission. #JustDAOit

Meet the Bankless DAOPlanet Builders!!

Proposal to Sponsor DAOPlanet NYC 2022 event at 50,000 BANK

Hey Ernest. I’m generally supportive of work in this area, and naturally I’m a big believer in events as a way to spread knowledge, inspiration and drive an industry forward. (For those of you who don’t know me, I’m co-founder & CEO of a media & events company focused on financial technology.)

It’s the leadership of DAOPlanet that I have a substantive issue with. To be more direct, DAOofSteve, who for me is the most visible, authoritative member of DAOPlanet, is one of the most incompetent individuals with whom I’ve ever worked closely. He also ranks highly in terms of unethical behavior, though I don’t view him as outright evil.

I’m not trying to call you out here, Ernest; you know I love & respect you. However, I didn’t know you were a founder of DAOPlanet. My attention and interactions from January and February 2022 were 100% focused on DAODenver, and DAOofSteve was at the top of that hierarchy; which frankly, led to a real shit-show of an event. I would have come to you, Ernest, for help had I known you were intimately involved in DAOPlanet at the time.

I have told DAOofSteve several times directly – via discord, via voice call, and directly to his face during the DAODenver event itself – that he is terribly incompetent, and I will never work directly with him again.

In addition, many of the major contributors to DAODenver left the DAOPlanet organization immediately after the conclusion of the event due to their experience with DAOofSteve. I’ll highlight the folks from page 4 of this doc: 2022-05_P1: DAODenver '22 Crew Compensation_Voting Proposal - Google Docs

^^ Those above with blue underlines are confirmed leavers. There may be others.
^^ In addition, one other contributor filed suit against DAOofSteve in a California court.

My understanding is that DAOofSteve is still a major part of DAOPlanet and DAOPlanet.NYC. Therefore I wholeheartedly object to this proposal for the bDAO to support the DAOPlanet.NYC.

Please correct me if my understanding is not accurate.

I too must submit my dissent, with all due respect to ernest_of_gaia, rotorless, FlowScience and the rest of the Bankless family I hold in such high regard. The reality is that many people (myself included) delivered disproportionate value to DAOdenver, but were disenfranchised by Steve/DP, and have yet to be remunerated. DP NYC - to me - intends to build on the backs of those contributors without giving them any credit or remuneration.

I will remind everyone that if it weren’t for my effort along with @Brustkern to push and drive the banners for Bankless, it would in no way be represented. Additionally, I created the graphic @ernest_of_gaia has used above, and I feel like it is now being used against me. I want to be clear that despite Steve holding all the keys and funds, I regard him and his involvement in DAODenver as an individual, not as a representative of DAOPlanet, and that there is no official contract between the two separate and distinct organizations/DAOs, and that it is fundamentally immoral and disingenuous for DAOPlanet to claim ownership or parade the success of DAODenver.
