🗳️ Web3 governance is broken.
🐋 Whales dominate votes
🤫 Real users get sidelined
📉 “Decentralization” becomes a meme

But @Polkadot is flipping the script with 🔐 Proof of Personhood:

🧠 X person = X voice
❌ No KYC
👀 No surveillance
🛡️ Just real humans, Sybil-resistant, privacy-first

Most ID systems =
📸 Show your passport
📂 Hand over your data
🕵️ Let a company track you

@Polkadot’s approach is actually different:
🔒 You basically prove you’re human not a wallet farm or bot army
👻 Without revealing who you are
💡 It’s zero-knowledge meets Web3-native identity

This could reshape everything:
✅ DAO voting
✅ Fair airdrops
✅ Public goods funding

But most importantly, it could make decentralization much better, when whales overwhelmingly control a blockchain, can you really call it decentralized ?
