Summary
Pet3r Pan got into crypto around 2017, writing his Before Bitcoin series and finding his way into the Ethereum community. As a core member of the movement, Pet3r is one of the earliest DAO pioneers as a champion of Metacartel.
This conversation revolves around the power of curating people and projects. Metacartel has instantiated itself as a loose-ish collective of certified 'good people.' Trust, positive sum personalities, and vibes are all forms of capital under this new paradigm. It's pretty cool.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Layer 0. Layer 0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that |
| 0:12.4 | make up the Ethereum community. Crypto is built by code, but is composed by people, and |
| 0:17.3 | each individual member of the community has their own story to tell. |
| 0:21.7 | CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, and Layer |
| 0:25.5 | 0 is a podcast that focuses on the people behind the code because Ethereum is people |
| 0:29.8 | all the way down, and it always has been. |
| 0:32.6 | Today, I'm talking with Peter Pan, who is a fellow class of 2017 crypto person, got |
| 0:39.4 | into the world of crypto around the same time I did, made similar typical newbie mistakes |
| 0:45.0 | that one does, buying XRP. But Peter immediately injected himself right into the core of the |
| 0:52.9 | Ethereum community and kind of led the charge for DAWs. He was one of the earliest DAWers |
| 1:01.2 | to really kind of reinvigorate this whole DAW revolution, starting, I think in maybe |
| 1:06.3 | early 2019. Peter's legacy, along with others as well, is Metacartel. Metacartel was the |
| 1:14.5 | first DAW after Molok DAW to really use the dope Molok framework and to try and bestow |
| 1:21.5 | part of what its visions should be upon the world via funding grants. But it's really |
| 1:26.2 | turned into much, much more than that. I think Metacartel is a meme that is also a public |
| 1:34.1 | good kind of. It's a vibe that we all as a collective humanity can tap into. Defining |
| 1:40.9 | Metacartel, I think is inherently impossible, but I think you will, as a listener, understand |
| 1:46.5 | why after you listen to this conversation with Peter Pan. So without further ado, let's |
| 1:51.0 | go ahead and get right into that conversation. But before we do, a moment to talk about |
| 1:55.0 | some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible. |
| 1:58.1 | Bankless is proud to be supported by Uniswap. Uniswap is a new paradigm in asset exchange |
