Adam has 8% vp (source Adam)

Is 39%vp a threat?

Yes, Adam is a threat at this time because he is irresponsible with his voting power and he does not always follow DFINITY. He votes randomly sometimes and he develops conspiracy theories and acts on them at other times. Unfortunately, he has other whale friends in his social circles who have been willing to trust his poor judgement and they often cast their vote according to his recommendation. If he were more judicious with how he votes, then it wouldn’t be a problem that he wields so much voting power. However, anyone who directly or indirectly controls as much voting power as he does should be held accountable to a higher standard.

@borovan

I know WTN is controlled so I just vote no and sometimes yes depending on how i feel. If the vote mattered I’d give it more than 1ms of thought.

Me voting on NNS : 8%
Me voting on WaterNeuron : 7% of 1% where the 7% means nothing.

@wpb

You antics on forum proposal threads like “Drain the Swamp”, “Remove 32 Node Providers”, and “SYBILing Nodes…” seem more like a rich man throwing a temper tantrum and putting a target on peoples back just because you can get away with it. It’s unprofessional and I believe will eventually prove to be a harm to the internet computer when people outside the forum start to realize just how much power and influence someone like you has on this ecosystem. You are an insider who knew the founder before the idea of the internet computer existed and you became one of the very first investors. This gives you a lot of power and influence that everyone in this ecosystem has to live with because you own your massive voting power. Yet your proposals and forum posts come straight from the playbook of a meme coin or NFT Discord server. How can businesses and governments take the internet computer seriously when they see you throwing your weight around like this and recognize that you literally own 7% of the NNS voting power and can influence up to 15% of total voting power in the NNS to follow your lead on proposals like 135750 that are 100% opposite of the core principals that make blockchain decentralization valuable.
