If All Else Fails: Remember The Overtime Contingency
Perhaps the most troubling thought that I keep coming back to over, and over again, is the overtime contingency dilemma.
Much like when our favorite innies realized that they could be activated outside of work without their consent, the Kier-DAO would most certainly include some sort of overbearing entity pulling strings and controlling things behind-the-scenes.
The governance of our made-up DAO would seem decentralized, until someone flips the switch, and you are left – as Dylan G was, confused in a closet, confronting a new reality.
Be More Than an Innie and Don’t Stake Your Soul
Alright, my fellow crypto cinephiles, as fun as this journey through our imagined Kier Eagan decentralized autonomous organization has been – it is time for me to head back to ground level.
While the Lumon innies are kept in the dark for the most part, that does not have to be our reality.
Here in the real world, we each have the ability to keep our “outie” perspectives when making important investment decisions. This empowers us to spot some of these glaring DAO-scam red flags discussed above, and reroute quickly to a better financial future. As my final parting advice, before I head out and greet Mr. Graner the security guard on my way out the door: Don’t be an innie, and always ask yourself, is this DAO allowing you to be the best version of The You You Are?
Go forth DeFi dreamers, and be sure to keep this little thought experiment in mind as you navigate the complex world of decentralization, blockchains and tokenomics.
