## What Jamie wrote

I find Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) one of the most interesting structures in crypto. I bought [Lil Noun 1416](https://lilnouns.wtf/lilnoun/1416) so I could be a [Lil Nouns DAO](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote) voting member, and have been actively voting on most proposals. 

The details on different types of DAOs that Vitalik outlines here is interesting. I think his point here is that there is no single best DAO voting method. You need to design for what you are doing. There is still much to learn and discover here.
