## Article

While at Devcon 2024 I spoke to Beth McCarthy, program director of Funding the Commons which I also spoke at in Bangkok about our progress on building on-chain post-capitalism with Breadchain Cooperative. Beth is also my co-author for the Katabasis crypto science fiction series and we spoke together at Devcon about the meme power of capital and why it’s bad.

We discussed Beth’s suggestions for building community when things are so online, the importance of in-person events, and her experience of being up close and personal with many of the previous phases of crypto.
