Activism in the Age of Cryptocurrency

" summary

A staged protest inside the Texas Capitol is filmed, then minted on Ethereum as a one‑of‑one and listed via Manifold and Zora while using PartyBid pooled bidding so many small donors can participate; the same model previously auctioned a Ukrainian flag and sold for over $7M (largest single pledge ~500 ETH), with proceeds routed to vetted local groups and the Ukrainian government. A Unicorn DAO aims to fix a gender gap where women made ~5% of NFT sales, and crypto is used to move funds around sanctions and help relatives abroad.
