PsyDAO

Before Bitcoin powered trillion dollar financial markets, it powered the psychedelic renaissance. The Silk Road marketplace, launched in 2011, became cryptocurrency's first major use case. By anonymously connecting buyers and sellers through Bitcoin, the Silk Road became the Amazon for all things taboo - including psychedelics. Before its dramatic shutdown in 2013 and the incarceration of its founder Ross Ulbricht, the notorious marketplace processed $1.2 billion in transactions and left a lasting impact on both the cryptocurrency scene and psychedelic culture.
