How did you end up in the Aragon ecosystem?
Humanities ongoing success is dependent on optimizing human coordination at scale. I think DAOs are the best bottom-up way to do this. The Aragon community talks the talk, but also walks the walk. As I started exploring the Aragon ecosystem I was struck by the general level of intelligence in the community. The eagerness to debate, experiment, and try new governance models was really inspiring. This made me want to spend my nights/weekends learning about the platform and contributing to the community.
Why are you here?
Where else is there to be? As far as DAO platforms go, Aragon is the best. Aragon has no real competition (yet). Being an early contributor involved lots of pain, frustration, and totally avoidable snafus. There’s many occasions where, if there was an equally viable DAO platform/community, I would have started contributing there instead. That wasn’t an option though, so here we are. Now many new initiatives are being developed to address the frustrations of the community (yay). Hopefully this will improve the Aragon contributor experience.
In other news… 1Hive is awesome! We’re dogfooding the latest Aragon apps and creating new DAO models. It’s lots of fun! 
In addition to that, contributing to the meta-evolution of the Aragon community has not been dull. Really excited about the CRDAO, NestDAO, and improving ANT valuation. The dream of a world where people can be freely speak, act, and share in positive-sum value creation is slowly becoming a reality. So great. Much excite! Can’t stop thinking about it lol
