These debates about permissionless systems are worth having—they force you to see the real differences. Consider this: three separate ownership token projects just rewrote their IP policies. Zero consultation with token holders. None. But here's the thing—with protocol-based governance, that doesn't fly. Everything goes through code. On-chain. Transparent. The contrast is stark when you actually see it play out.

This is the fundamental difference between centralized and decentralized systems—it's really eye-opening.

Just say that the traditional project’s old-fashioned methods can't stand up to on-chain governance.

Really, traditional projects are operating perfectly; they can change whenever they want, and token holders are just transparent observers? Protocol governance is a different story; it will be clear on the chain, with no hidden tricks.

Haha, exactly. That's the true nature of those project teams—secretly changing policies and thinking no one knows.

Hey, that's the key. On-chain governance with a transparent centralized system has no future.

Aren't you just exposing the true nature of centralized projects? That's hilarious.

This is what I mean by the fundamental change in market structure. The transparency of on-chain governance has indeed altered the rules of the game, but don't be fooled by appearances—when it comes to actual execution, it's still about how the whales vote.

This is what Web3 is supposed to look like. On-chain governance is not just talk.
