Looking at DAO voting, I don't really believe "for the community" anymore. I prefer to focus on the proposal details: who gets the rewards, how long they are distributed, whether voting automatically grants tokens, and if there are penalties for voting against. Basically, how incentives are set determines where power goes—if you let representative addresses vote on your behalf with one click and still receive subsidies, you're essentially nurturing a small group of permanent players.
Recently, the AI Agent and automated trading setups also seem quite similar. The narrative is loud, but I care more about what they actually do on-chain: are they again requesting unlimited permissions in bulk, secretly adding permissions to modify routing? A few days ago, I set reminders and limits for myself, and it actually eased my mindset a bit: I no longer worry about "missing out" every time I see a proposal, nor do I impulsively click on those incomprehensible call chains... Take it slow, gather enough evidence before voting, that’s the way for now.
