    Introducing VDAO: Ep-1 Building Antifragile Network States | Greenpill Podcast

    New @greenpillnet pod out today! 🌍 Kicking off a brand new Green Pill mini-series on Mondays hosted by VDAO (Marc Ziade & Kris Miller) — exploring how we can design antifragile network states that thrive through stress, decentralize sovereignty, and build regenerative communities.
