Community Wealth Building Web3 Accelerator

By Omar Brownson, Andres Copeland & Mario Jefferson

TLDR:  The time to confront old and dying ideas is now.  However, we are not fighting old models. We are making them obsolete. With web3 tools, Los DAO is creating new community wealth based on values of social equity. We want to make the scarcity mindset obsolete. We have what we need. And we have a web3 accelerator to get you up to speed. We call this Defy Money. Join our movement.

Buying a Los DAO Complete Access Pass give you:

  • A lifetime basic membership to all things Los DAO (and access to our inclusive and one-stop community of builders, designers, devs, advisors and more.)
  • Access to a token-gated discord and Web3 tools with step-by-step guides to build out your startup, non-profit or change-making idea.
  • Ability to create your own token and, more importantly, an ecosystem for you to exchange your token to build long term value.
  • Discovery expeditions and community protocol evaluations that are fun and non-technical
  • Community scaling solutions
    • Validator nodes
    • RPC nodes
    • Staking pools
    • Community projects
  • Eligibility to win NFTs and other airdrops with artists who represent our values.
  • As we build out our ecosystem, you will have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making of our community bank and other DeFi strategies.

If this is what you want, let’s keep keeping on.

Los DAO Manifesto

  1. Defy Money is for everyone.
  2. Money is incomplete if the opportunity to access and manage it is limited by others.
  3. Economies fail when they do not include planetary and human rights.
  4. We must learn to co-invest as partners and creators.
  5. Defy Money means you own your time. And you own your data.
  6. We are creating social change and community trust with trustless technologies.
  7. For us, community is the best of both autonomy and interdependence working together.

“Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and you know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and you know Earth, you may make your victory complete.”

- Sun Tzu

How does Los DAO and Defy Money work?

We believe in these 10 key values which inspired the creation of Bitcoin.  These values are built into the blockchain and the standard by which we hold ourselves against. If you’re new to web3, these are essential mechanisms that will be covered in our accelerator.

  • Consensus
  • Trustless
  • Censorship Resistance
  • Pseudonymity
  • Open Source
  • Permissionless
  • Legal Indifference
  • Fungibility
  • Forward Compatibility
  • Immutability
  • Incentive Alignment

You can expect your funds to go towards supporting:

  • Core contributors. A team of OG founders, agile developers, creatives, artists, and community ringleaders will be working hard to make this magic possible. The founders are vested for a three year period. We are in this for the long haul.
  • Operating expenses. We are building community wealth. In order to do so, we will be covering all things for community education, web3 infrastructure, and blockchain related fees.
  • Security and DeFi. Seeding the web3 infrastructure to support our long term growth.
  • Community. Proposals from our DAO for future projects.

Then What?

This is about real world impact. We want to bridge the physical world, digital world, and the metaverse. Down the line, Los DAO will be a universe of diverse, impact-driven leaders and DeFi infrastructure.

By giving ownership to this community infrastructure, we can amplify good work without the fear of constantly needing to fundraise or beg for resources. We will exit the rat race.  The community will be empowered to race for what it loves and increase the value of the Los DAO universe.

FOUNDING TEAM

Supercompute - Mario Jefferson - Crypto Veteran. Activist. DeFi Explorer. Coming fresh off the heels of Occupy LA, Mario saw the power of owning your narrative. “We are the 99%.” And many other new ideas such as “be the bank” took root. A singularity of thinking emerged as Mario went down the wormhole of cryptocurrency and embraced many of its core ideals deeply and personally.

In 2014, Mario then founded Supercompute after hearing of Ethereum’s potential. DAO have the opportunity to be the best example of what autonomy and unity can look like without contradiction...if we do it right…which we will together.

Since 2019, Mario has been crypto-independent and in a financial position to exit the old economy. It has been a long time since his days of Occupy LA and selling bitcoin for pizza and bail.

Long Horizon - Omar Brownson - Entrepreneur. Leader. Public Speaker. Omar is inspired by nature, gratitude and web3. Omar founded Long Horizon to advise on and invest in web3 projects. He’s an Advisor to Full Spectrum Capital. He launched the genesis NFT collection for Gratitude Blooming and co-hosts the Gratitude Blooming Podcast (ranked in the top 10% in the world.) He also teaches Gratitude At Work on Simon Sinek’s platform.

Previously, he co-founded the gratitude app gthx and was the founding executive director of RiverLA where he collaborated with architect Frank Gehry and local leaders to reimagine the 51-mile Los Angeles River. He has held leadership positions across finance, land use, and social impact. Everything he’s done has been about building the world he wants to live in.

Just in Time Services - Andres Copeland - Father. Author. Artist. As a lifelong hairstylist, Dreece came into the crypto space in 2016, testing early stage protocols before it was cool. With a Discovery mindset, Dreece saw a new way for the community to work. With Bitcoins core values alone, Dreece knew liberation from that other system was certainly possible.

JITservices is a protocol by Dreece with the expressed purpose of Creating an Accessible DeFi Protocol stack for everyday small businesses adhering to core Bitcoin values.
