Last night before bed, I happened to see someone shouting again, “Just delegate your votes to XX,” and with a twitch of my hand I almost clicked it too… To be honest, delegating votes is originally meant to be convenient, but once you save time saving time, it turns into a few people finishing the talking—governance tokens end up feeling like, “they govern me”: I’m the one doing the interaction to collect the tokens, and they’re the ones who decide on changing the rules.

What I hate most is that while people say “decentralization,” the voting pages have always been dominated by the same handful of addresses. Even ordinary people who don’t read the details of the proposals can understand it—after all, during the day they go to work, and at night they do tasks, so where would they find the energy to read those long posts? The feeling from chain games—like the economy getting spun out of control by inflation plus a studio swooping in—is kind of similar: power/output are concentrated, and the rest can only follow the spiral… Anyway, I’m more cautious about delegating now; I’d rather take a bit less than bundle up my “right to agree” and hand it to someone with a single click.
