Vitalik Buterin recently spoke out again, this time criticizing the governance methods of Privacy Coins.

He directly named Zcash, saying to never fall into the "token voting" trap. In his view, this token voting mechanism has too many flaws - it's worse than Zcash's current governance mechanism. Why? Because privacy is something that can easily be undermined by the logic of "whoever has more coins gets to decide."

It is indeed worth thinking about; Privacy Coins were originally meant to combat the concentration of power, but if large holders can influence direction based on the number of tokens, isn't that just shooting oneself in the foot? Although V God said this directly, it indeed hit the pain point of DAO governance— not all issues can be solved by voting, especially when it involves core values.
