Lately, I can’t quite keep it together when it comes to governance voting. They say it’s “community decides,” but a bunch of people just delegate their votes to a few big accounts—so in the end, it turns into those few people making the decisions. Who on earth did the tokens govern for… Anyway, it’s not like I’m the kind of small retail investor who always cuts positions before bed.
Even more ridiculous: everyone is talking up modularization and the “DA layer narrative” like it’s flying—developers are excited like it’s New Year’s—while users (including me) are left utterly baffled: what does any of this have to do with me clicking a voting button? Then the other person even criticized me: “You say you don’t hold positions long-term—so why do you want to get involved in governance?” I don’t know either. I just feel that “a sense of participation” is getting more and more like window dressing. Forget it—what we can do is stick to decentralized delegation, avoid putting blind faith in celebrity votes, and don’t casually hand over that little bit of power we have.
