for the record i think voting rights is table stakes for a token. my point is that it doesn't need a specific use case or have complex tokenomics to be valuable also by virtue of being onchain voting becomes super accessible to token holders https://warpcast.com/stephancill/0x064ba856

yeah i also mean voting is kind of broken for us public equities most voting control is held by large asset managers who are passive by definition and don't really have the ability or desire to be active in the companies in which they're invested on behalf of *all of america* retirees, pensioners, 401ks, etc.
