the blockchain is mainly relevant here because it means you can't identify the entities with control of particular tokens. this prevents DAOs from operating within the traditional co-op model: "one member, one vote" doesn't work if you have no idea even how many members you have.Permalink Look on archive.org

(as a reminder, these cryptographic proofs are proved by either: - voraciously consuming electricity - voraciously consuming hard drives - directly rewarding people in proportion to their existing capital (this is the "good" one))Permalink Look on archive.org
