<p>In this episode, we dive into the evolution of DAO communities and events with Yalor and Stacey. From the early days of MetaCartel, MCON &amp; MetaCamp, to the ambitious vision of MetaCampus, we talk about the importance of in-person gatherings and building the social fabric.</p> <p>What are MetaCamp and MetaCampus? Why choose Costa Rica for building a Web3 village, and why choose Detroit for MCON III? And most importantly, why investing in relationships might be more valuable than chasing the next memecoin?</p> <p><br></p> <p><em>“More financial games are not what will move the world and save us from impending collapse.&quot; - Yalor</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>These are some of the questions and answers discussed. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Overall:</p> <ul> <li><p>Origins of MCON and MetaCamp</p> </li> <li><p>The GM Bus project</p> </li> <li><p>Evolution of MetaCartel and its impact on the ecosystem</p> </li> <li><p>The concept and development of MetaCampus</p> </li> <li><p>The importance of community-building in Web3</p> </li> <li><p>Why Detroit as the new location for MCON</p> </li> <li><p>Doing conferences differently</p> </li> <li><p>The social layer and relationship-building at MetaCamp</p> </li> <li><p>Reputation and identity in decentralized networks</p> </li> <li><p>The value of in-person gatherings</p> <p><br></p> </li> </ul> <p>A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to MetaCamp, an offshoot of MCON that offers a more intimate atmosphere in Costa Rica.
