text: Let me explain how things were before #dTAO and how they are now. You might already know, but I want you to point out what you think is the downside.
  
  Before, the validators decided how many emissions each subnet received. This led to many issues, sometimes even conflicts of interest, because certain subnets belonged to specific validators. With dTAO, each staker individually chooses where to place their stake, so emissions go to those whom the community believes deserve them. Everything is much more democratic now.
  
  The $TAO inflation hasn't changed, and the percentages that miners and validators receive remain the same. The only difference is that they no longer receive TAO directly but instead get Alpha, while the retention of TAO in the pool determines the emissions.
  
  On top of that, TAO has become the liquidity of this system, gaining additional utility. The fact that people rushed to buy Alpha doesn’t mean that dTAO is a flawed mechanism. In fact, we were warned about this in advance. Just look at BNB, which truly exploded only after DeFi appeared on BSC and BNB started being used as liquidity in pools.
