Well my dear @crimsonclad, I don't intend to waste many written words to give my personal opinion on your proposal. Why would I do that if we both know that people here don't like to read, doesn't know to read, or are too lazy to read? Especially through a bit long and dense post like yours today?
And on the other hand, because: ¿Who the heck would be interested in my own opinion and why would they take it into account?
Therefore, what I will do now is simply contribute to your cause by allowing people to get to know you a little better and that they can learn more in depth about the valuable and tireless work that you have developed for the Hive blockchain over the last six years, so that they can draw their own "well informed" conclusions by themselves before they dare to leave a negative or discouraging comment without really knowing who you are and what you have done. 
hey, thank you so much much for this! I even haven't seen half of these, lol. Talks tend to just be the most easily found items, but are only a small portion of the day to day. I'd guess (but who knows?) that monetarily, the exchange and swap listings (which without listing fees save about $10k plus per and going up exponentially with the size of the entity, and without MM support to have as a fallback for relationship management) are sitting somewhere closer to $150-200k range alone in directly saved costs. But just to be clear, your opinions DO very much matter on the subject, whether pro or or anti.
People making non-supportive comments (well, most of them 😂) aren't doing so because they hate me, but rather because they are scared about the state of Hive and the timing of what feels like a 'huge' proposal, even though once it's broken down it quickly becomes pretty miniscule. I think they're also worried that this is going to be an immediately sell the whole amount, which is in line with a lot of how proposals for salaries are handled, and that's not the goal here either since this isn't a salary.
In either case, I appreciate you stopping to make a comment regardless as I know no matter what, many people will be uncomfortable to do so because they're being told I'll retaliate or shame their opinions. I know that if there's someone who's always ready to speak their mind regardless, that's you. Cheers 🖤
