🌱 Welcome to our metaphorical garden! 🌱

## Guest Introduction: Gonçalo Magalhães
- Background: "Legacy dinosaur" with a building background -- previously helped folks evaluate where to buy land and place assets
- Met up with Felipe in Lisbon

## Updates (DAOhaus Universe)
- [RabbitHole](https://rabbithole.gg/) campaign kicked off
- FoundationsDAO almost at 2000 folks now
- Interesting to see what happens next! What will a 2000+ person DAO do?
- How can we focus this energy? What kind of laser can we become?
- Releasing multicall soon!
- Folks have been using the new safe minions and new forms -- looking for feedback!

### How did you get into DAOs?
- People person -- connect with folks easily
- Met folks involved with Liscon and around the web3 & crypto space
- Onboarded into DeFi and NFTs, and his "mind was blown" when seeing what was on top of the Ethereum platform and what the community is addressing
- Digital representation to things he's envisioned around communal living
- Started asking how to integrate these 2 realities? How to bridge gap between communities IRL and in the digital space?

## What is Offchain?
- "Offchaining" a value: onchain value -> offchain
- Not trying to impose vision -- rather working with community projects while wearing "builder cap"
- Identify basic necessities for each community group
- A landing platform is critical when establishing a community hub
- Help set up other projects for success
- Some projects have clearcut vision like The DAOist and Offchain works with projects to help catalize and push forward
- When meeting Felipe, it was apparent of meeting someone "with the right level of altruism" -- we all sometimes need to be a bit selfish at times, but with a balance
- *Needs to be a celebration of the individual* in order for the community to come together and align
- Offchain's current focus is helping projects come to life correctly, and then will discuss a *Lisbon Token* that can be used across projects and provide means for folks to interact

## Individuals and Community
- Balance and relationship of the individual and individuality to the larger community
- Critical topic with DAOs -- need healthy conversation and dissent in DAOs
- "Selfish" is a very strong word -- can't have an engaged community without looking at what folks receive for participation
- To get to space of true generosity individuals need to have basic needs covered
- What is the catalyst that brings folks together?

## Funding DAOs and Visas
- Being able to provide Visas for folks who invest is a win-win situation
- Has run funds before as DAOs -- come up with some directions and let folks vote on them
- Saw that folks were interested in the Golden Visa idea

## Real Estate Experimentation
- DAOhaus talked about "nomadic hacker houses" -- started as an April Fool's joke, but then folks were interested!
- What hurdles are there in this space?
- The DAOist has been experimenting with this -- creating "coordination points" and securing Portugal as a "port" for DAOs
- Come stay in Lisbon for as long as needed on a project, could be supported by a communications team
- Ideas move faster than execution
- Ric Burton sponsored teenager hackers going to Liscon
- Felipe wants to create an *art residency* focused community house
- What would scaling issues look like when dealing with real estate/rentals?

## Discussion & Questions
- What would a blueprint/playbook look like for future builders?
- Offchain helping with handling logistics, and eventually can help with playbooks for others
- What was the hardest aspect of this learning journey?
- There's lots of FOMO in this space -- often folks change their minds quickly around things and people forget their manners
- Folks need to treat each other with respect and courtesy and to stop ghosting each other
- Folks under such massive cognitive loads that this becomes an issue and concern
- How was Liscon? What was the general vibe?
- Dao is a region in Portugal
- There are tendencies to try everything and get burnt out
- All projects want their own thing -- "we need narratives for shared successes"
- Vibe: *spacetime is contested* -- everyone wanted to be everywhere, and sometimes it felt good to have space
- Took example from MCON and focused largely on hosted panels
- Lots of new folks in the space and lots of excitement -- "feels like we're on to something with the web3 space"
-
