I have some other commitments that week but yeah DAO is completely meaningless... ask 100 people and 99 of them won't have a clue what it means. Steem Proposals a majority of them will at least get a sense of what it is. That's called inutitive naming. And this is why language matters. Because if we use one system we have to do way more education and problem solving and convincing that we're not weird. Use steem proposals and other non weird and inutitive wording and people are like... "oh yeah cool. I get it." Language is marketing.
But we are on a blockchain where we use a cringy non intuitive name "Witness" for a block producer.
So my hope AND guess is it will end up being steem proposal regardless of that person wanting it to be DAO ... it's just not going to happen unless he really pushes it and for what good. If steemit is trying to impress other blockchain developers i get it... but I sure hope that this is not the main audience of steem.
Also exhibit A by @blocktrades
Also our system will be the same "Steem Proposals"
We created the majority of it a while back but then it has been delayed in coming out so we stopped work on it.
