GreenPill is about crypto-economic systems that create positive externalities for their neighbors & for the world.
We explore the intersection of programmable money, game theory, & mechanism design. We search for powerful new ways to fund, design, develop, & market regenerative web3-era applications and digital assets. We launch the meme of regenerative crypto-economics into the world.
Ethereum is the ultimate substrate for human coordination. Learn about the web3 builders who are solving coordination failures and creating a more regenerative infrastructure for the world using Ethereum.

Fantastic Pod
Highly recommend to anyone going down the Web3 / DAO rabbit hole. Owocki is one of the stronger and genuine thought leaders we have and when you couple that with his ability to draw top talent to the pod, you get a recipe for quality content.
Finally a show about regenerative economics
Really grateful for the deep thought and discussion about regenerative economics and future society. Really brilliant guests and strong interviewing. I daresay this show fills the most important niche in the space.
Inspiring and actionable
My new favorite podcast! Optimistic, concise, and a useful guide toward our solarpunk future ☀️
