Crypto and the dweb hold the promise of dragging governance and decision making processes out of boardrooms and out from behind closed doors, thrusting them into the open for all to see, comment on and participate in. The crypto-deam is sometimes portrayed as an egalitarian future in which everyone has a voice and is able to express their concerns and needs to the fullest extent possible. In this hypothetical future, society has been transformed into a kind of digital labor union, with mobs of the common man replacing the committees, boards, bureaus and c-suites that currently run our everyday lives. However in the trajectory of history up until the invention of the internet, there are few instances of true direct democracy being granted to citizens at scales beyond a few dozen people. Handing over control of everything (not just government, but also infrastructure and public goods, private companies, land, etc) to an interconnected web of individual voters could be disastrous without proper precautions being taken beforehand.
