Yuga's Thoughts

Thought experiment:

Suppose the U.S. presidential election were conducted today on Ethereum via smart contract. One address, one vote. No mechanism for Sybil resistance. Contract requires 0.1 ETH to vote. Only two choices: Biden or Trump. Popular vote wins.

Who wins?

Do we spend the 0.1 or just need it for participation?

Trump, because only crypto people would know how to vote.

Assuming voting was done on sol and there were too many failed transactions for quorum

I shared something like this on X, we should use gitcoin grant verification mechanism, we could fork their API which we can use to verify badges that qualifies voters, in my defence anyone could get 0.1 eth in their wallet to just vote and keep moving it from wallet to wallet, you simply can’t move badges, each badge is exclusive to each wallet according to their activity over the years. 

But then that probably makes it even harder for the regular new person in web3 to vote as an American citizen which the 0.1 eth kind of solves.
