Into The Abyss | The Rise of the DAO

December 17, 2019 • 24 Minutes

The Rise of the DAO

In this part one of a two part series, the rise and fall of the DAO we take a full look at the events leading up to the infamous DAO hack where upwards of 50 million USD worth of the cryptocurrency Ether was stolen from an autonomous blockchain organization. In part one we focus on the events leading up to the Slock team becoming the largest crowdfunded project of all time (at the time).

Please let me know if you have comments, feedback, suggestions, corrections, ideas for future shows, etc.

Thanks for listening!
