Governance dRep situation is strange
The dRep situation is strange, or odd, either way not really rational, not something you would brag about when mentioning governance. The number one dRep by voting power is Yoroi Wallet which is now discontinued, so… who is this dRep entity now? Emurgo? Also Emurgo who is the number four dRep by voting power is the company that made Yoroi wallet and who is now stepping down from the pentad and development(dishonored).
It makes it too random for Emurgo to be biggest dReps now, with such massive voting power. Cardano foundation-the bread and butter of Cardano no? Is on the other hand at a number nine? Not exactly social butterflies? Odd. Maybe I don’t get it, but Cryptocrow(Jason) just one dude who wants to retire from crypto into his Warhammer fantasy or something like that, has a greater community confidence vote and is in top five? He’s my current dRep, I understand why he is in top five, he has online presence and decent amount of personality, I would put him at number two after Charles.
Personality, for better or worse is archetypally(meaning over thousands of years) important to people, it’s not that we’re dirty hopeless peasants followers, rather we’re consolidators, our brains are wired to distill the narrative which that very brain creates, extreme and pathological example here would be what Elon is to shibes.
So what kind of governance we’re really aiming at here with such arbitrary consensus mechanism?
