Someone asked me whether delegated voting is “more democratic,” and I just want to say: it’s true that it’s more convenient, and it’s also true that it’s more oligarchic. The moment you hand your vote over, the governance token starts governing you— you handle the emotions, they handle the ballots, and in the end they conveniently turn the narrative into “community consensus.” To put it bluntly, the biggest barrier to on-chain democracy isn’t technology; it’s your laziness. Recently, around the upgrade/maintenance of that mainstream public chain, everyone’s been guessing whether the project will migrate. But I see more people doing calculations: who can secure a few more delegated votes amid the chaos, and—while they’re at it—change the roadmap into a version that’s friendlier to themselves. In any case, don’t treat “participating in governance” as a talisman; voting will also be deeply consumed.
