Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on Twitter, "It is abnormal to use 'governance rights' as an indicator of token value. It is like saying that I bought $X because someone may buy it from me and a group of other people in the future. To it, twisting the protocol to their special interests is not a good deal for just multi-millionaires and hedge funds (including the attackers) as a regular person to pay $500 for a 0.0001% chance of influencing the outcome of some votes. I just thought it was a good deal.”
