So, since CERTAIN People are starting shirt, I think you need to know the whole story. 

PSV was my father's idea, or not PSV as it is today, but Preservation Wealth Management was his company. He was a first generation college graduate, he built it with my mother. Mom was a PhD in Business Management, since the employment prospects for an economist with an infant were not great then (oh yeah, I was a Senior year final exams surprise, she still graduated Summa), she continued her education while Dad went to work. 

They were a great team- he had the networking skill and was immediately liked by everyone, she was frankly a genius. They complemented each other so well, and Preservation was like my sibling. 

But cancer is an evil thing with no sense of reason, and it took my mom from us. I was about to start at Cambridge. I bleached my hair and dyed it pink to make her laugh one last time, and it stays. Dad was near catatonic emotionally, but he also lost his sense of business. While I was away, he started to let things slip, and with changing environments, regulations, mass failures, my sibling started to die too, and I was worried Dad would go with it. 

When I wasn't looking, Reine de Pomme showed up. Dad was sad, every day at Preservation was a reminder of what he had lost. She bought it for nothing, with the only real win for Dad being a clause that she had to employ me when I graduated. 

She did, but she made me pay for it through sanctioned hostile environments (sending all kinds of weird VPs to send me on goose chase errands), obstructing any project I worked on, and frankly poisonous performance reviews. 

So I left, and when the time came, I took what is rightfully mine. 

​Sorry, not sorry, Reine. 

Recently I got the chance to exchange messages with Parrish Dauphin, heir to a manufacturing empire that he hopes to redeem through good works- or good buys. 

"Growing up, I was kept from seeing the impact of the business that made my family's life so lush, and that of others so spare." He writes. "It was revealed to me pretty abruptly, I went to undergrad in Cambridge, abroad from where I grew up, and in an elective class on sustainable economics, I was met at the door by a very confident person with pink cotton candy hair..."

Ok- if he's going to out me, I need to in the spirit of full disclosure reveal we were classmates in that sustainable econ class, and yes I got in his face immediately on the first day. 

"... and she asked me what I was doing there, being the 'spawn of the problem?'"

I've never been described as subtle.

"Anyway, I learned so much in that class, and classes that followed, and from friends that followed and stayed. I know I was just supposed to get a luxury education as a matter of course before returning to the family business, but my eyes were opened after a deep slumber in comfort. I couldn't just return like it was a dream."

Parrish did return to his home, but also to his former friends with a new deal. They combined their one month allowance from family trusts and other deposits, secretly, and started to seek out viable but underfunded social change businesses. After some impressive returns- amazing what a little cash can do to give something a boost- they developed a microloan platform aimed at specifically others in finance looking to at least provide viable alternatives to existing structures if not dismantle them completely. 

​Carry on the revolution, Parrish. This cloud-haired chick is proud to call you a friend. 

Hey- remember when I was confused? I figured it out. 

Put a fork in it, it's done!

New rules for this "step" child of the parent block...

Recently, a certain well-known former colleague (of sorts) has been up to stuff. 

This person, under the guise of a philanthropic DAO, has been quietly (and not so quietly, as we saw with FOREST/RANGR and that nasty business) acquiring true DAOs- but that's not what it's all about...

I don't know where this goes, but if you want to consider the contradiction for yourself, here's a great primer:

But seriously, I think this article can answer most of your questions.
