Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable with governance voting.
Many people say it’s “community decision,” but when I click to see, delegated votes are layered on top of each other, and in the end, it’s just a few big wallets/institutions pressing buttons…
Honestly, who does governance tokens really serve?
Is it the protocol, or just making it easier for a minority to keep the steering wheel steady?
Plus, with the current stacking and shared security yield stacking, I understand the criticism of “copycat” schemes:
You think you’re diversifying risk, but you might actually be piling all the risk onto the same chain.
Last night, I even considered revoking authorization from several wallets and uninstalling the app—too noisy, it was bothering me to watch.
But thinking about my “sleep consensus,” not staying up late or chasing price surges, there’s not much I can do—just avoid complex copycats and not casually delegate my votes.
Take it slow… that’s how I’ll go for now.
