RE: The Limits of Crypto-Economic Governance (Response to Vitalik's Critique of DPOS)
All that you say is spot on. There are going to be questions going forward. How do people adapt and adjust? Many resist change....there will be some who do not get it. Plus, this is a process that is not going to happen in a year or two. We are going to see this evolve over decades.
One thing about the masses, once the trend starts in a particular direction, they are easily led. This is what the present system did..lead them around by the nose. However, if there is a strong group of people who start the trend in the opposite direction, most will follow suit.
There will always be those who exhibit bad behavior while refusing to conform. However, most will fit in with the norm of society.
We see this in riots...group mentality ....people do things in that situation they would never do on their own.
Have the prevailing mindset of doing good for others, and the masses should follow.
...and in the end we come to facts like...thinking with your own head and not listening to the crowd, do your own research.
