The main mission of the DAO is not "protect" the "funds" as if we are talking about a widows's endowment, is to promote the game with the best of their ability and resources.
Of course the main reason for listing in Binance is to promote the game and allow newcomers to easily onboard Splinterlands, suggesting that this is promoted by whales looking for exit liquidity is a really cheap gaslightning, is literally the opposite; whales are doing this psyop (to ruin and mud the proposal) looking desperately not to lose their grip on the game, which is sad and annoying 50%/50%. But rest assured that everybody is now aware of who wants what and why.
And opening and closing the comment with threatens of leaving the game...
I don't want to get personal (I don't know you at all and there is no reason why you are not an excellent person) so I just will say, noone is more important than the whole. I will be happy if some disgruntled whale leaves and dumps their SPS bag and drag us to 1 cent. The sooner they leave, the better for the game long term.
My 2 decs.
ok cool. You didn't want to get personal, but you did :D
Its ok, you can think what you want!
