Milenius: DAOs require fluid, contextual leadership rather than no leadership
“Part of our experience of growing up has been to not be afraid of leadership. Leadership is so big. With humans, whether they're coordinating on mass scales, on micro scales, or anything in between, you know, we've really learned that a good leader is worth ev…”
Milenius: Purely self-centered participation prevents successful DAO coordination
“If everybody comes at this from, like, some kind of hyper-rational, self-centered, I'm only in it for myself, mentality. Then they'll just never coordinate. They'll never cooperate, you know, and they'll never put aside their differences and do the hard work o…”

Milenius: Blockchains enable traditional banks to become transnational actors
“Seeing it as this emergent, accessible space, I think, is really, really compelling for not only banks, but, like, tons of different finance companies and different enterprises in general to suddenly become these transnational actors that they weren't before, …”
Milenius: Diversified asset pools protect DAI against single-asset failures
“And so, one of the really, really important details about DAI is this idea that there's a lot of different types of assets. So you can imagine supply chain invoices, you can imagine, like, commodities like gold, you can imagine pure cryptocurrencies like Ether…”
