I’ve been getting a little too into DAO voting lately… On the surface, it’s “the community decides,” but once you open the proposal attachments, you realize the incentives are written like the tea dregs—stir them a couple times and then they finally sink down: who gets the subsidies, who can be exempted, whose permissions conveniently get labeled with a “temporary,” and then that “temporary” turns into something permanent. To put it plainly, voting isn’t just about picking a plan—it’s about rearranging who gets to count when it comes to who has the final say.

These past couple of days, around the time of the main public chain’s upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group has been guessing whether projects will migrate. But I’m more curious to see: if they really do migrate, how will they package it in the proposal, and will the flow of funds from the treasury move first… Anyway, whenever I see “for ecosystem stability,” I tend to check first whether it’s hot or not.

As for “long-term,” my somewhat not-proud definition of it is: being able to resist the urge to act on impulse for two weeks counts as long-term, a month counts as practice, and a quarter? Well, that depends on the market leaving me alone first.
