##2 申请资助金额：50000u

##3 捐赠意义

GCC is kindly requested to donate 50K to P2P Foundation to continue with this support, to achieve the same level of activity, but hopefully to achieve the following breakthroughs in the 2024-2025 period:

• Finish the book project this fall, with Chinese translation
• Potentially influence the Chinese public with these types of ideas (lecture tours , workshops )
• Intensify the participation in global Web3 communities
• One of the aims of the next year would also to seek extra funds from other actors for more active outreach, i.e. specifically improving the quality of the wiki content and the outreach of this documentation.

Michel Bauwens is the founder and director of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production and commons-centric economics. Michel was also a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group. He has (co-)published various books and reports, such as ‘Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy’, and more recently, P2P, A Commons Manifesto (Westminster Un. Pr. 2019).

During the early development of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto engaged in discussions on the P2P Foundation forum (https://www.bitcoin.com/satoshi-archive/forum/p2p-foundation/) and had multiple private email exchanges with Michel.

He is currently engaged in studying the impact of the acceleration of global catastrophic risks and its intersection with civilizational transitions, by focusing on the underestimated importance of commons-based institutions; and in a separate inquiry on the optimal forms of mutual coordination for translocal economic networks, and how these capacities intersect with market and state dynamics.

Michel was also one of the earliest individuals to openly discuss Bitcoin on Twitter. Throughout his lifetime, he has dedicated himself to transforming P2P ideas into an encyclopedia, delivering over 700 lectures worldwide in the past seven years and teaching courses at various universities.

He studied the emergence of cosmo-local forms of productive organization, in the Cosmo-Local Reader. Post-Covid, Michel Bauwens is doing 'civilizational transition' research for the Civilization Research Institute, and functions as research coordinator for the Global Chinese Commons, a crypto-nomadic community.
