I'd like to host a public retrospective on "The Rise and Fall of $KLIMA" in order to move the #ReFi space forward.

We need to know what happened...
Who made money.
What mistakes were made.
What we learned.

How we can improve.

Who's with me?
I'd like to invite @ArchimedesCryp1, @Dionysus_Klima & the rest of the founding team of @KlimaDAO to the table.

Along with @gregory_landua, @erde_kette from @regen_network and @josephpallant from @BICOWG.

Also the folks at @SCB_Tweets & anyone else who bridged credits for $BCT
I'm happy to host this at a safe space in-person in Lisbon with all stakeholders present and off-the-record if necessary.

Neutral moderator.

This is not about my brand, this is about building a movement with integrity and solving the most pressing challenges of our time.
Reflecting on the first major introduction of the concept in the space:

"It may appear as a ponzi on the outside..." @KlimaDAO via @BanklessHQ on "How crypto can be good for the planet"

Good ser @yidagao the @KlimaDAO logo is listed on @shimacapital’s website, maybe you can help us understand your perspective as well?

I know you’ve supported several #ReFi projects in the space and must have a deep understanding of the dynamics at play.

You down?
I knew none of them would show up so I had to tell the story my self…

Why does biodiversity matter?

This week's @ReFiPodcast features my good friend @AleMazzi333 from @sovereignnature talking about nature conservation enabled by digital assets & online communities.

An overview... 🧵🪡

I was struck by this @wef report Ale mentions, "over 50% of global GDP is dependent on biodiversity."

Even more shocking that "businesses are more dependent on nature than *previously thought*, with approximately $44 trillion of economic value..."

If the largest capital institutions in the world are sounding the alarm for the preservation of nature, how do we do actually make this happen?

How can we shift the vast sums of capital required to preserve our most precious resource: Life itself?

I would like to invite all of #ReFi to participate in a public retro on @KlimaDAO. 📉

ICYMI - $KLIMA is a billion dollar ponzi scheme which promised to finance climate action... instead it made a small group of VCs, carbon brokers & founders millions. 💸

Here's the story.

1/ FOUNDING TEAM OF KLIMA DAO ...
Firstly, I want to start with my motivation.

1. I'm a committed husband and father of two young boys.
2. I am gravely concerned about our planet's future.
3. I have dedicated my entire life to building a better world for generations to come.

I believe public ledgers paired with digital measurement reporting and verification (dMRV) are the critical tools to unlock trust and enable trillions of dollars of critical climate financing within the next 30 years.

Capital flows at the speed of trust.

I've just wrapped up my interim Head of Growth role at @ToucanProtocol to focus on building a protocol at @ReFiDAOist to become an accelerator for the #ReFi movement...

Here's some of what I learned in my time at @ToucanProtocol & a glipse at what's next... 🧵🪡

1/n
🦜 Learnings from @ToucanProtocol 🦜

1. Timing is key — launching in a bull market vs. bear market makes a huge difference

2. Partnerships — @KlimaDAO needed @ToucanProtocol to launch, and visa versa. Find strong partners early.

3. Composability — do less, better.

2/n
3. Build a great team — having an early team with deep technical talent is key to change the world

@raphabenoi, @positonic, @mrjackish, @adamspiers @johnx25bd & @somspace 🌊

4. Know your space — Raph and James spent 18 months ahead of launch researching the carbon market.

@IETA's task group for digital carbon markets released a statement via @CarbonPulse. There are big implications for #ReFi here. 👀

carbon-pulse.com/153786/

Here are the key takeaways taken from the article by the IETA Council Task Group on Digital Climate Markets 🧵🪡

1/n
"Over the past several weeks, the Task Group heard from data providers, exchanges, independent standards, project developers, and digital innovators on the use of digital tools in the carbon market."

carbon-pulse.com/153786/

2/n
"Our main conclusion is that digital innovation can improve the performance of carbon markets across the value chain" ✅

But...

"such innovation comes with significant risks across the three main use cases, which need to be carefully identified and managed." 🤔

What is #ReFi and why does it matters for climate change?

Follow me on this thread 🧵...
Down the magic rabbit hole 🐰🎩🕳️

I've made > 30x ROI and locked up over 9,000 tons of carbon in just 60 days...

This is what I've learned👇🏽

1/n
Imagine a financial system that is fully transparent, plants trees, electrifies the grid, supports local economies and promotes biodiversity.

That's #Refi, or Regenerative Finance.

It's built on #DeFi (decentralized finance) on public blockchains like #Ethereum.

2/n
If you're thinking, "Oh, but isn't crypto bad for the environment?"

You're not alone.

But no, not all crypto is bad for the environment.

Some blockchains are very energy efficient. Proof of Stake (PoS) is 99.99% more efficient than #Bitcoin's Proof of Work.
