As of this week, ENS (Ethereum Name Service) tokens have been airdropped to .eth domain holders. The idea was to issue tokens for governance and policies, but the odd thing is that they decided to let it have its own market.
I think the idea behind this decision is to make the connections between politics and money explicit, rather than trying to deny it or separate it. We can see in the real world that politicians lie about this stuff all the time, while their supporters just hold their heads down and pretend it's not going on. Is this system a better one than the ones we have now? We'll find out, I guess.
