I never vote irl or in crypto fwiw.

Over time I came to realize that voting implies agreeing to be bound by the outcome.

I much prefer to make my own decisions in life rather than feel bound by group decisions, and since I don't buy the "accept vote outcomes only if you win" ethos, I choose not to vote - anywhere.

Of course this position was originally formed in the context of political forced-choice false-dichotomy voting and I am definitely not saying that is the voting climate in DASH. However, for me the principle holds in even the most benign voting situations - I must ask myself if I am willing to be bound by the outcome, win or lose. If not - if I would want to sell my DASH after a particular outcome for instance, then I would have the dilemma of feeling locked in to a course I did not agree with. If I don't participate in the making of a decision - if I don't have skin in the game - then I can more objectively assess whether the resulting product is a good fit for me.

For those of you who believe the "voter apathy" meme - sometimes it's not about apathy at all.

Don't get me wrong - voting is a useful tool for breaking deadlocks in a group, for choosing a group path. I have no objection to its use but it's not a tool this (contented) MN holder will ever use. On reflection, I am a consumer/user/fan of DASH rather than part of its developer community. In the unlikely event that something better popped up, I would jump ship with sadness but not regret.

I felt a need to explain my position, for some reason, and it helped me to think it through.
