Fascinating discussion here. I’m in favor of compensation as a grounds for recognizing abnormal market behavior but can definitely see the cases on both sides of this argument.
To me this is a great example of community coming together to rally for change through governance of which I encourage.
Both the compensation amount and future precedents here are definitely uncertain but in my mind I believe passing this would give other community members confidence that meaningful change can happen without the intervention of the core team which I believe is worth taking a punt on.
This gives me confidence that this proposal would not have significant implications. If the funds are largely idle I think this experiment is one worth pushing forward on (either in its current form or with slight revisions to the compensation amount).
Will be keeping a close eye on this!
