Disclaimer
- I didn't talk to anyone before making this post, and i'm pretty sure that, especially @khaleelkazi and @anomadsoul (the only 2 Leo managers I know), don't like polemics and may not even approve what i'm about to write.
- If anyone finds this post controversial that's your problem! I merely refer to the blockchain and make comparisons. You don't like comparisons? that's your problem too! When we say "A deserves and B does not deserve" to make any sense you need to know the merits or not and make comparisons.
- I voted for Leo's proposal and will withdraw my vote if i feel that what is written in the proposal post is not being achieved, it's simple.
@leofinance is asking to DHF 240K HBD to onboard 10K new users to Hive, starting at Sep 2023 until the end of 2024
I admit they could be more restrained, set targets only for 2023, make a more modest proposal for 2023 and if it went well they would soon make a new proposal for 2024. Like that, maybe some non-believers would not look at the proposal as too high.
But they chose to make a proposal until 2024. In any case, and it may even be my case, if someone thinks it's too much money and still thinks it's a good proposal, you can vote and take your vote away when you think it's enough.
Now let's talk about big money🤑 (this is the part that can be considered as controversy or comparations, again, it's your problem!)
sorry for the arrogance but I'm fed up with whale suckers
I believe most of you are just distracted people
@valueplan
The sole account purpose is to hold DHF funds that will be distributed for initiatives and projects aimed at getting Hive visibility and onboard new users.The account was created by @guiltyparties who is a key holder and is responsible for recovery as trustee, @blocktrades, @crimsonclad, @smooth, and @theycallmedan are the additional keyholders, all have the full set of keys (text extracted from first valueplan post).
Some facts
1.100.000 HBD (one million one hundred thousand) from DHF since Jan 2022@valueplan has received
You can check all @valueplan proposals below, all approved of course!

How many new users onboard Hive with initiatives payed by @valueplan?
10?
100?
1000?
10000?
I've no idea! Have you?
What we know
Some numbers from @valueplan and the biggest projects supported by the fund
- 440.752 HBD to several Venezuelan accounts
- 326.003 Hive + 7.912 HBD to @ssekulji (rally car)
- 99.705 HBD to @hivefest
- 71.645 HBD + 3.425 Hive to @mcsamm (Ghana borehole project)
Hope this numbers help you to zoom out and have a bigger perspective of what is going on and what is to much money or not!

Instead of mass on-boarding, we should build apps that would attract user by value, and also retain them because of that. Seems all the whales are aware of this.
We need more devs.
It's hard to attract devs because of money. Hive is under 200M market cap and the barrier of entry for the DHF is very high.
Once in a while someone adventures trying to get a cut of the fund but eventually fails and get discouraged. The standards and difficulty to get are way too high and then the pay for it is too low for most beginners (need reputation here to get good pay)
It is a tough sell to onboard devs, but that definitely is a must and we do need more devs, I am just not sure how we could do that.
On the upside, we have many dev tools and libraries to make the job easier, it is impressive for such a "small" blockchain
1 million is not enough to start from some place? I think it is.
Not everyone can get 1 million in funding like that guy and I think he is, sadly, trying to onboard new users instead of new devs
My "we need devs" is about something like the account valueplan to onboard devs, not single dev proposals. Give them something to start and let them do the rest or pay them to dev something already in mind, for example an app for simple onboard, manage keys, make this process completely easy and ready to use for new users.
Don't even talk about smart contracts, there are lots of things to improve and do in dev area.
Omg, 1 million HBD is like what? 5% of all HBD in circulation? Crazy sums of money
It's A LOT OF MONEY!
