RE: SPS DAO - We Only Move Forward Through Compromise
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Oligarchy (from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía) 'rule by few'; from ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and ἄρχω (árkhō) 'to rule, command')[1][2][3] is a conceptual form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.
this is what the dao is now, the whales decide if a proposal passes or not, 90% of the community might be for or against but when whales decide, thats what wins. Like clay hire, he was in good relationship with whales and there you go, one hand clear the other.
it is totally pointless to vote any dao proposal for a normal and average player
I don't think it's quite an Oligarchy but Azircon has done a fabulous job at creating this perception. Not sure what his motive is but it certainly isn't a good look for a web 3 game.
Motive is, as always, inside human nature, greed for money, power and the percepition to have control and power over people
I disagree on it being pointless. I know in my case I look at all the votes and look for people I know in the community to see what they think.
Said another way, maybe their vote won't make a difference in the total vote count by itself, but it does affect how your friends and other community members think. There are a few times I have decided to change how I will vote because of what people I respect think. (if they didn't vote then I wouldn't know their thoughts)
Then you are referring to discussion and ideas sharing, thats fine, but i dont know how large is your stake, if azircon decides to sink a proposal because for example he doesnt like the dude proposing, then anything wont change the outcome
AZ is big, but no holder has more than 2%. Put another way, you would have to have at least 17 of the top holders to agree to "sink" anything for sure. And if you look at the past votes, people disagree on pretty much every proposal.
Anything controversial will need a large segment of the holders (big and small) to agree. Just go look at the past votes and you'll see.
Well you see, i had a perception which you telling me Is wrong, but thats what i got from Reading discussions, chats (not to Say i think a lot of people are afraid to express my same idea and get their account downvoted bombed)
I'm happy to help clear up that perception David. I don't want people to be afraid and they don't need to be.
That's really the whole point of the article, we have to work together even when we don't agree on every point, because if we don't, then nothing will change until we do! :)
