Lately, watching DAO votes, I increasingly feel that: taking it slow is not shameful. No matter how "for the community" the proposal is written, the incentives and power structures underneath can't be hidden—who gets subsidies, who has veto power, who can change parameters, these basically determine whether your vote counts. When everyone gets excited, they rush to "approve," which, frankly, is just treating themselves as free endorsers.

And now, retail investors complain about miners/validators taking too much, MEV sorting being unfair, but then they give the same group of people even greater authority in governance... it's a bit ironic. Anyway, now I tend to pause for a day when I see proposals labeled "urgent" or "fast-tracked," to see who’s the most anxious, and usually I can smell the salt.
