What i find particularly interesting about our situation is how good we did without the promised resources from the foundation.
Waiting for the treasury model seems like a sub-optimal solution imho. Isn’t it better to give a community the means to experiment with self governance as soon and as much as possible?
Personally i think establishing common ground during a timeframe in the development, when there is still some leeway for making mistakes and learning from those mistakes would make for a superior approach. That timeframe starts with the shelley release…
Like @philpa said in his last video, Cardano succeeding or failing is highly dependant on the community.
This community could have been so much bigger, and more prepared for shelley if certain parsons actually cared for growing and educating it. We have an amazing community with an exceptionally strong core.
Just imagine if that 600 000$ would have been spent on community building.
Just, close your eyes… find your inner sanctum… and imagine it…
