  • 002: Permanent Storage on Arweave, Data Democracy, & People-Powered Finance In a Post Fiat World - Chopping it up with Dameon of Arcademy
    May 27 2023

    This week Geo chats with Dameon, creator of Arcademy, for a wide-ranging conversation including the need for permanent storage on the blockchain, allowing users to chose which dataset the AI model they are using is trained on, why democracy doesn’t scale, network states, and escaping the trap of inflation and defining value in a post fiat world.

    Storing things on the blockchain is even more relevant now that companies like Youtube, Imgur and Twitter threatening to delete old content and inactive accounts.

    Arcademy is an education platform for developers to learn to build on the Arweave blockchain. The site has been rolled into Arweave's domain.
