“That's a good place to meet and make your contribution and receive your reward. The Optimism Fractal Community is amazing, and I feel great about it. This is my view on Optimism Fractal: it's my weekly accountability group session that holds me responsible for what I'm producing, either for that community or for other communities. As you said earlier in the program, we have all these little connections, and we're stitching them together. I like to think of it like a patchwork quilt, where each of us is a singular patch, and we're stitching and sewing them all together. At the end of the day, we're going to produce this very beautiful, massive quilt.
With that being said, we get to showcase our work, which is awesome. We get to hold each other accountable for our work, and then, as you mentioned, we're evaluated by our peer group on the quality of our work or the time we spent doing it. We get rewarded with Respect, a token which I think is another little activation in your brain, a synapse of building confidence. So yeah, that's how I like to think of Optimism Fractal.
I'm there as often as I can. Sometimes I have commitments in my in-person life that prevent me from being there, but I enjoy the time I spend there very much. It's really cool what they've built, and like you said, Hats Tree - they have their own Hats protocol in there. I think I've claimed almost every single hat that I'm eligible for, so my Hats Tree is expanding.”
