ABOUT

On: March 20, 2021

Welcome to 3 Moons

I live as an expat after a life in aviation, business, and finance. I spend my time reading, writing, and exploring projects that interest me.
I’m drawn to building exponential communities — self-selecting groups that empower people to cooperate and grow together.

Digital assets, Blockchain, DeFi, DAOs, Decentralized & Automated governance, Automated finance, Seasteading, Free Cities, and Startup Societies.
We explore, prototype, and publish — translating frontier ideas into practical tools and strategies.

x20s is Dan’s abbreviation for exponential communities — the “20” represents the letters removed, similar to the a16z convention.

Georgia’s crypto rails work — but pricing matters. A quoted rate of 1 USDT ≈ 1.0162 implies an effective ~1.6% premium versus a 1:1 benchmark. It’s not a visible fee, but embedded pricing. Small on $1,000. Meaningful at scale.
