RE: EIP FAQ
Rather than taking the “high road” and leading by example approach,
We did come from a place where many, including myself were voting honestly around HF 17-19. But slowly, the broken economy overwhelmed us and those of us who didn't outright leave capitulated into turning this place into a toilet.
If we lost the fight when things were far better, there's virtually no hope now of leading by example since a new equilibrium around self voting/vote selling has set in. I think the broken windows theory very much applies here. Our best chance is to reform the economic rules that lead to large scale misbehavior.
If this goes through, then I’m sure we’ll all be very interested to find out if that is in fact the case …
As am I
First @trafalgar, let me thank you for investing the time to reply. Frankly, I am not accustomed to that, from a “whale.” “In here” for over a year now, most of the time, my experience has not been that favorable when corresponding with a “whale” …
You have made a valid case, to my mind, for the point of your post – arguing in favor of these proposed changes. And, I accept your specific point here since, as I said to begin with, presumably you would know far better than most. It is your “straight up” and candid style which is refreshing to me, so thank you for that as well.
At the end of it all, as I have written about before in my own posts, I suppose some like the use of the word “pioneers” in describing what we are going through. “Pioneers” in what? Learning firsthand what it is like to experience the “utopia” of a decentralized blockchain and all that is really happening vs. the “marketing hype” about what might happen. At the core of it, it is dealing with human nature. In all of its “glory” and how to “manage” that, when no one really has any authority “in here” to direct change vs. affect change …
We’ll find out together what the “Top 20” decide is the best course, going forward, as God knows there is a considerable problem which needs an effective solution to address it. The sooner the better …
Have a good day @trafalgar!
