Recently reviewing governance pages, I found that my few votes are like throwing stones into the sea... Many people directly delegate to a few "big accounts," to be honest, for convenience, but over time it turns into a few people holding meetings while everyone else just nods along. Who exactly does governance tokens serve? Maybe it’s the patience of ordinary people.
Now I’m more like pruning a potted plant: if I can vote myself, I do; if I don’t understand, I don’t force myself to join the fun; I’d rather not participate than blindly delegate. By the way, I’m watching the community argue over the boundaries of privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance, which gets pretty torn apart. It’s actually the same — where the power of speech is concentrated, that’s where the rules will eventually grow. Anyway, I’ll leave some room first, and not put all my future hopes on “they will make the right choices for me.”
