Proph3t is the anonymous Founder of MetaDAO.
In this episode, we discuss one of our favorite trending projects in crypto, MetaDAO, and why the world needs decision-making markets. Inspired by American economist Robert Hanson who proposed the idea back in 2000 to "vote on values, but bet on beliefs," MetaDAO is the first project to put this into practice, where anyone can create, manage, and participate in futarchies.

How did I disguise the message? There are thirteen horizontal lines & spaces in the puzzle. They represent letters A - M with A being the bottom space. The vertical lines | | represent the letter on a line or space. I doubled the lines to || || to demonstrate that we count up the grid a second time for letters N - Z.
🧩 Should I create another puzzle?
