It seems to me that simple solutions breed centralisation, centralisation breeds complex solutions that end up killing decentralisation at the root.
Essentially:
- it is better to wait once for formalisation by grants than to solve everything all the time “ad hoc”
- It is better to keep DAO-principles at once than to give a lot of power to the Foundation
- It is better to learn to develop without grants and then growth with grants will be quite good
I was able to participate in many DAOs and realise that their value is in communities, not foundations.
