If it’s good or not is another topic, but it is definitely possible to skip banks and other middlemen.
- sremani 5y agoThis Crypto bullshit has to stop -- ConstitutionDAO did not give ownership to its stake holders. It was a glorified IoU, a private fiat version of stock/equity into the so called Constitution copy. All the power was held by an LLC and two dudes.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI'm not a lawyer, but this reads like offering shares in a private company. No matter how you knock this up, a corporation or individual ends up with ownership and control in the real world. You need a real-world way to enforce whatever they promise, which is either through civil law via contract or criminal law via fraud. All crypto is is a signature on a document. These documents are not guaranteed to hold up in court, especially when there isn't good case law around whatever you invented to get around existing laws.

- rosndo 5y agoThat commenter seems a bit confused, yeah. But what is it shilling Don? Cryptocurrencies in general? I doubt they’re shilling the failed ConstitutionDAO? “shills” to me are more like commenters such as rasengan, who is actively advertising his cryptocurrency-as-DNS nonsense whenever given the opportunity.
