DAOs are the least effective thing in the entire world.

After seeing JUP pause their DAO through the rest of the year it is more abundantly clear than ever that this is just a terrible model for tokens and businesses.

They emphasized that this is to ensure growth and product development. But what leaves me wondering, is why can't that occur even with the DAO?

Simple, because if the DAO doesn't approve of something, the delay and voting process essentially causes the entire development life cycle in this insanely fast market to be obsolete by the time it actually gets pushed through and in progress.

This is why I look at something like Raydium, who has largely been able to capitalize on so many markets, comparing competitors here.

Raydium created LaunchLabs and managed to capitalize on swap volume and dex volume being able to ship this quickly.

Raydium has buy backs of their token in the millions of dollars of ranges, consistently.

Jup got approval for buybacks and burns, but it has largely been one and done, because of votes.

Jup has extensive spending for their sub committees and groups and needs approvals to pivot any and all of that spending.

All in all, a business can only struggle when you have to appease to a group of capital extractive individuals trying to do all they can to gain a share of what the business has generated, in this case 'a DAO'
