    Season 3, Episode 6 - The IRS Is After Me: Why You Should Incorporate Your DAO (with Adam Miller)

    While ‘Decentralized Autonomous Organizations’ and ‘Incorporation’ might sound mutually exclusive, that could not be further from the truth. In fact, DAOs are not really protected or given the opportunity to realize their full potential until they incorporate. The reason why is threefold: first, if a DAO is not recognized as a legal entity, all of its contributors are at significant personal risk; second, if a DAO doesn’t have corporate personhood, it cannot own any intellectual property, participate in traditional finance, or hire employees; third, without tax entity, all of a DAOs members can be held accountable for taxes on any net earnings the DAO generates. The problem is, not a lot of people know about this and continue to organize with the hopes of changing the world without first ensuring that their foundation is stable. Others who might be aware about the benefits of incorporation dismiss it out of fear that it is ‘too complicated’ or ‘too expensive.’ In reality, incorporation has never been easier than it is today. In this podcast episode, Adam Miller will share everything you need to know about how to incorporate your DAO.

    As a former Senior Investigative Counsel, federal prosecutor, and Chainalysis alum, Amanda Wick has been in nearly every corner of the crypto ecosystem. After nearly a decade in government service and working at a startup, she grew passionate about the need for increased inclusion of women in the future of digital assets. She recently founded a non-profit called the Association for Women In Crypto to provide networking and education opportunities that will help promote and advance women in the space.  Cryptocurrency has existed for more than a decade, but countless people still don't know what it is and think it's just "criminal money." But market activity has risen to over a trillion dollars, and most governments around the world have recognized it is here to stay. So what, and why should women, especially, care? Because the future of digital finance has yet to be written and this time around, women have an opportunity to fight harder to ensure inclusion and equality. Amanda Wick will explain why everyone should care about cryptocurrency, but why women especially should care, why they should get involved, and how women can ensure there is greater inclusion in the future of digital finance.
