Honestly, as much as I've read, I still don't understand what changes are happening with the "hardfork" on Tuesday. I understand that it's changing the voting system some how. Also people saying many long time/new users disagree with it and wanting more say in the changes that are made in the future; I also hear wanting to a elect some sort of council to vote on changes proposed.

My main question is this, how is the changes on Tuesday going to obstruct or hurt causes like project curie? does it make the voting powers of whales less effective?
