Summary: Niran is a real, reliable, fragile and transparent leader. His insight into community organization and community order has found us a door to Web3, and now his main job is to issue keys to community organization.
Niran – “When someone wants to write about the impact of cryptocurrencies on our society in 10 years time, [will write] that cryptocurrencies will change the life of the community and provide more resources for the community to thrive.”
Just as I walked out of the hotel to find the Uber that picked me up, I vaguely felt the warmth of the sun shining on my skin. It's a beautiful day in Denver. Today's meeting is very relaxed, but everyone is still full of enthusiasm and energy. Since the epidemic, there is nothing more exciting than meeting friends you haven't seen in a long time or have been in touch with online on the first day. Feel relaxed and happy.
I opened the Woods Boss door and I was greeted by Yalor, who was moving things into his car. He asked if I could come and help him, and I said yes. It's a great opportunity to go out at this moment, plus I'm really hungry and it feels like the food truck is calling to me.
This is also the first time I met Niran.

Niran speaks and listens to others at MCON
I stepped forward.
Although the chat was brief, we hit it off. I asked about his work at Panvala and he asked me what I was doing. I told him I love writing and shared my Twitter handle. He also said he would go back and check.
I'm curious that people will keep following my channel without special needs so far, which surprises me. Especially in an industry with tons of money making opportunities! After a while, Niran came and invited me to participate in the Panvala community conference call. I attended and arranged an interview with him. Just like during the MCON exchange, this interview was still conducted in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The conversation was free and we chatted for a while. We chatted about the community, DAOs, physical airdrops, and more.

The more we talked, the more I felt that Niran was a born leader. He is humble and takes responsibility for the results of others. He attends. He coordinates (even if it doesn't come naturally). He puts in the work. However, I could still feel that there was more to it (he didn't show it)... To me, what sets Niran apart from the others is his ability to immediately build trust with others. Trust takes time to build. However, only a minority can move beyond the time base needed to build trust.
Niran breaks that mold.
I think he built trust in just a few days. First of all, you can find that he is really knowledgeable. No nonsense. There is nothing wrong with anything. Niran dives headlong into topics he likes, but at the same time shows the patience to pander to the audience. He is also very transparent and vulnerable. If there is a question for which he does not know the answer, he will admit it. He will search for the unknown. One of my favorite no-nonsense scenes is when I ask Niran: "Is there anything that isn't new in the crypto space but interests you?" He says it's the community. I pressed for a reason, and his response was... charming.

A little photo of Niran (literally)
Instead of discussing community atmosphere, which seems to be a subtext to describe what makes certain DAO communities special (at least today), Niran instead refers to the golden age of fraternities, an era that recorded people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Very passionate about organizing the community. He also pointed out that there are still many organizations from that era that exist today, including the Rotary Club (founded in 1905) and Kiwani's club (founded in 1915). I can tell that Niran has really thought deeply about the subject (community) and I respect that. Approaching a subject through an unconventional angle makes his interviews fascinating (at least for me). Niran contrasts the golden age of fraternity with Web3 and it strikes me as amazing. That said, to me, simply being "in the know" doesn't make you any more convincing. Authenticity, vulnerability and transparency are the real reasons I trust Niran.
Niran goes on to describe how he is accountable for the output of others. Here are a few words from the conversation:
"I don't think that sense of responsibility has never really existed before, just like the knowledge of a technology and what it can do will just fall from the sky."

When asked how to describe his personality, Niran joked that he was "a forgetful professor" and "a visitor here, but at home with a lot of his own thoughts." I don't think that's entirely true, Because in our conversation he was, to be fair, Niran was a bit reserved. It is perhaps best described as sane, with an insatiable natural curiosity. He always tries to understand the core of things and not just the surface. In my opinion, that's why he's staying ahead.
Niran believes that self-driving order is very important. Self-driven order can be described as not being controlled by anything but the result of human actions. Not designed by humans. By describing how the city changes, he provides a sublime vision of self-propelled order.
"It's about seeing how cities change, how people move over time. Watch new buildings, new infrastructure. Think back to when it didn't exist, and think about what else was planned Ready to implement. Think about how this will affect the people who use it, it's like running an entire city in my head."

Niran's brain
"Decentralization is cool, it's a valuable and useful tool in the toolkit to get things done, but spontaneous order is like trying to identify and determine the meaning of the world."

physical airdrop
It all started with testing prototypes IRL.
Teddy KGBNiran will be the master of the game, establishing rules similar to smart contracts, and the chips are tokens. Niran publishes the game and people give him real money in exchange for chips.
The most spectacular sight happened shortly after the launch of the game, when someone (who had just received tokens) entered the mezzanine right away and airdropped tokens to the crowd.

Some words from Niran...
"It's amazing. Like this is the coolest thing in the world. That's what I want to do in the future. It's not necessarily about the thing itself, it's more about what people do with it. I want to see people Doing amazing things, doing what they want to do given the resources. It’s a moment of honor for me when I see people do amazing things.”
