Vitalik:The Notion of “Governance Rights” as a Narrative for Why a Token Should Be Valuable Is Pathological

Validated Individual Expert

The notion of "governance rights" as a narrative for why a token should be valuable is pathological. You're literally saying "I'm buying $X because later on someone might buy it from me and a bunch of other people to twist the protocol toward their special interests"

As a regular individual, "pay $500 to get a 0.0001% chance to influence the outcome of some votes" is just not a good trade. The only people for whom it is a good trade are multimillionaires and hedge funds (including attackers).
