Blog topic: the Bisq DAO as an evolution of the social organization #252

A vastly underrated factor in the dramatic economic growth, innovation, and resulting lifestyle improvements of the past ~200 years has been the limited liability corporation.

While this legal entity has (and will continue) to power great things, it has limitations.

The Bisq DAO is a model for a new paradigm that enables initiatives to proliferate independent of the state (no state/political approval needed), fueled by the activity of anyone who chooses to participate (no boss/office politics approval needed), where the cycle of funding and market validation flows directly from consumers to producers (no investor approval/social politics needed).

We should be careful not to suggest this as a 'successor' to the corporation, but rather as a new model that fixes some elements of other models, that may make sense in some applications.

Vitalik Buterin's essay on DAOs from a while ago might be a good reference, along with some high-level history of the corporation.

Although blog posts are elements of the website, with the new growth infrastructure, it makes more sense to manage blog post ideas on the growth kanban board so it's easier to relate them to current priorities.

Of course, blog posts will continue to be submitted as PRs and reviewed here as usual.
