$87 million spent, resulting in millions of complaints... 🌐 Every ecosystem has its "corruption" issues, or rather, every place with interests has corruption. This is an issue that can't be avoided through mechanisms because human nature can't be programmed.
As a contributor in this ecosystem for 5 years, we've seen too many opaque interests, but we've also seen many voices of justice. The @Polkadot community is now in a balance of good and evil conflicts. However, I believe every community has this kind of conflict balance. The difference is that good conflicts can lead to development, while extreme conflicts can be disastrous. Of course, Polkadot hasn't reached that level yet. This is a good opportunity to bring issues to light🥃
When will the @Polkadot Treasury add a new category —— Investment?
1. To create additional revenue streams for the Treasury.
2. In a sense, investing in a promising, self-sustaining project is more valuable than funding a project that will rely on Treasury support for the next 100 years. This approach also benefits community development. I’m not here to criticize infrastructure teams without a profit model. The Polkadot Treasury needs to fund these public good projects without a profit model, but not those scammers who are just out to exploit the system.
3. Grants/Funds received for free will never be as motivating as investments obtained through effort and cost.
Call all builders to action @gavofyork@alice_und_bob@seunlanlege@GldnCalf
It's insane to me how much money the Polkadot treasury is wasting on misplaced marketing. Did we learn nothing from FTX and https://t.co/m20U7NcBIE?
Blockchains like optimism, arbitrum are giving hundreds of millions of dollars to developers and builders.
Bearish.
As the founder of the previous largest (non-DOT) TVL and market cap/FDV project in the Polkadot ecosystem, I have to say that we do not want to engage with the Polkadot ecosystem and team at all. It is a highly toxic ecosystem that lacks any real value for web3, and it does not focus on users or adoption at all. We are simply too busy to disclose the many facts about the discrimination we have faced as Asian founders in this ecosystem (which is a sentiment shared by all Asian founders).

At 5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made. Thrust is more than double the Saturn V moon rocket.
It is the first spaceship design capable of making life multiplanetary.
Goal of the next mission is to make it through the meteorically extreme heat of reentry.
We are releasing the PNS Roadmap for Q1 2024!
The PNS App is under revamp, and we will release a new version in March and have dozens of bug fixes and improvements.
