Stakeholders voting authority

Djatlantic, a Twitterati says:

“Omg. VechainThor is greater than the WP. This is to placate newbies and western investors. Who needs a WP when Vechain is the very best of the best. You don’t invest in VechainThor, you are doing this all wrong mates.”

Cameron McEwan, another Twitterati says:

“Here’s to making a better future!”

Uare, a Redditor says:

“30% of voting power to authority nodes is a lot. I don’t know if those numbers were already revealed before, but if they were I wasn’t paying attention and no one raised concerns about it. But 30% means if a change is beneficial or detrimental to authority node holders, they’re likely all going to come to a consensus on it, meaning only 21% of the non-authority node voting power needs to vote with them. This is assuming a simple majority is needed on all decisions. The other dangerous part of this voting structure is, voters are stupid. There’s bound to be 10%-20% of voters that vote against their own interest out of stupidity.”

According to CoinMarketCap, at press time, VeChain [VEN] was trading at $4.46 with a market cap of $2 billion and has seen a rise of more than 1% in the past 24 hours.
