Why does this need a DAO? Why does someone have to "own" it? They could just have it be run by the smart contract without human intervention.

I think that's ultimately what everyone wants. However, I think we need more research because once you throw away the keys they're gone forever. This is something that needs time to get right.

Bitcoin doesn't have any keys to throw away. How is Bitcoin doing?
