Reflecting on BanklessDAO and Life | Bill Ford aka The Marvel

Making Bank: A BanklessDAO Podcast

Today’s episode marks our 50th show since we relaunched it in February of 2022. Over these nearly two years, we’ve stayed true to our mission: offering a window into the people of BanklessDAO and the projects they are working on that drive their passion in exploring web3 technology and culture.

Though a large percentage of our contributors are U.S.-based, we are a global organization working toward decentralization and exploring the potential of these tools.

Today you’ll hear a bit of reflection on how BanklessDAO came to be, and the personal story of one of it’s earliest members.
