I just translated a DAO proposal and almost accidentally clicked "Approve"… Then I looked at it a couple more times and got scared: on the surface it says "more fair incentives," but in reality, it's quietly shifting voting power toward certain types of addresses, and the rewards are also just feeding "active users" (in other words, more like their own people). The sneakiest part of this kind of thing isn't the parameters, but the narrative — you think you're changing benefits, but you're actually changing the power structure.
Recently, I've been talking about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and the risk assets rising and falling together. Watching this makes me even more cautious: when the market heats up, people tend to get caught up in voting, seeing "free tokens" and "budget expansion" as good news. Anyway, I’ve gotten used to first seeing who can gain new permissions and who can get continuous cash flow before deciding whether to press that button… for now, just do it this way, don’t click randomly.
