RE: Power Cooldown

And we did focus on that. The cost to do something like that again far exceeds what could be extracted or gained. There's no more massive lump sum of potentially overwhelming governance influence available for purchase by simply selling the key of an account. And isn't there a delay now before newly staked tokens become effective in governance? That means if you can see the monster coming, people will make emotionally charged decisions (get scared). With a shortened powerdown period, they'd weaken the walls of governance quicker, panic sell, create a chain reaction where others panic sell because monkey see monkey do. Then two weeks later you find out it was all a hoax. But the place is destroyed anyway because of a weakened/shortened powerdown period. Monster didn't even have to lift a finger.

"...13 weeks to have access to your entire stash is just too much time in crypto."

But you didn't answer my question up there. And we don't lose access to our funds once powered up.
