Hello @fig,
I am thrilled to hear your reasoning and support the philosophy behind it.
Currently, my weekly income from manual work in real life does not surpass the value of 2 AAVE tokens. These are circumstances not under my control, but rather the legal system of the country is which I immigrated to as a refugee. In the past 5-6 years, I’ve never reached a yearly income level equivalent to 5000 AAVE tokens.
I’ve recently joined the Aave DAO because I’ve understood its utility in the Ethereum apps ecosystem and I seek to learn more about borrowing/lending mechanisms in crypto markets. I am a protocol user on rollups such as Arbitrum (with “peanuts”).
There is a high probability that I could rapidly accumulate knowledge while fulfilling my duties. Less than realistic to dream that I could gather and set aside assets with a value of 1000+ AAVE in a short or medium horizon.
I am sharing my personal context as a new delegate to offer an illustration of how voting weight requirements could hinder DAO participation for some individuals.
Thank you. @jengajojo @Kene_StableLab @0xkeyrock.eth @lbsblockchain
