PieDAO BTC++

PieDAO is a community DAO focused on tokenising automated wealth creation strategies. The DAO's first line of products are Balancer Smart Pools, constant weight index funds, PieVaults, yield-generating tokenized portfolio allocations with productive assets, and The Oven, a system that allows users to save gas on expensive transactions by batching them together.

BTC++ is a weighed allocation between the different representations of Bitcoin on Ethereum. Bitcoin, for DeFi, diversified.

For as long as the modern-day financial system has existed, the ability to achieve financial freedom has been available exclusively to those who had (some) wealth to begin with: more often than not, one needed to be born to a successful family, have access to strong financial education, and initial capital to play with.

For the rest of us, getting from 0 to 1 in wealth creation is a gigantic chasm extremely hard to overcome, meaning that we have to spend most of our lives focusing on earning income, never quite getting to the stage of actually accumulating wealth. The introduction of crypto networks and decentralized finance has offered countless improvements to the way our financial system operates, often removing geographical barriers and permission-seeking of traditional systems, but we must admit that financial inclusion has not been one of them.

1. They require significant technical knowledge (expertise)

2. They require a significant amount of time investment to monitor trends and markets on a regular basis (time)

3. They have high transaction fees (money)

These prerequisites of expertise, time, and money make access to DeFI a luxury available to a select few.

We strongly believe that this vicious cycle should cease to exist, and that anyone should be able to have control over their financial future, no matter the country they live in, their economic status, their level of technical expertise, or financial education.

The PieDAO community envisions a world where wealth creation is a passive, automated process accessible to anyone with an internet connection without heavy prerequisites, while strategies to create wealth are in the hands of the most objectively talented individuals, distributed across the globe and correctly incentivized.

PieDAO is a community completely decentralized from day one, whose task is to govern the ecosystem of products designed to make this future possible.

The core products of PieDAO are carefully curated baskets of assets, traditionally known as ETFs — or Pies as they are referred to in our ecosystem.

Pies are designed for regular people with a busy lifestyle, little to no starting capital, and no time to spend watching the DeFi twitter trying to catch the next big hit.

DOUGH, the PieDAO governance token, is the driving force behind the entire ecosystem, allowing people across the globe to make decisions on what products to create, what strategies to deploy, and what assets to include.

• We do what’s right over what’s easy: We do things because we believe them to be right not because they are easy to do or because everybody is doing them. We are radically open-minded about what’s right and truly commit to understanding the reasoning with the people we disagree with.
