Aave's recent governance vote has concluded, with opposition votes accounting for 51%, and the proposal from Aave Labs was ultimately approved. Founder Stani then posted a long tweet explaining that his interests are aligned with those of the token holders, and he also specifically clarified that the $15 million worth of tokens previously purchased were purely a long-term optimistic investment and not intended to influence voting.

This level of transparency is commendable. Since you believe in the future of this ecosystem, continuing to increase your holdings will only further strengthen the community's trust. After all, you said this is a lifelong career, which can prove your commitment more convincingly than any false reputation. When a founder keeps buying their own project tokens, it boosts the community's confidence—such energy is entirely different.
