digging up this great thread detailing some caveats of token voting that become more obvious by the day in most projects

DAOs & Token-based Governance is a fantasy. Stop emphasizing token-based voting; start focusing on assigning executive power. Even countries and big corporations fail to ensure wide participation by their "token holders" - instead they maintain strong executive bodies Thread 👇

I think of DAOs as leaderfull organizations, where everyone is a leader. The insight that "the leader is the one who knows what to do next" is deeply profound and frankly world-changing.
