Dear Polkadot Community,

I am seeking your support for my ongoing work in investigation, news dissemination, meme creation, community communications, and active participation in discussions across various groups. Over the past eight months, from January to August 2024, I have dedicated myself to enhancing engagement within our community and promoting awareness only about Polkadot and its governance system.

Achievements and Impact:

During this period, I have successfully contributed to the following metrics on my account on X:

Total Visualizations: 1,920,971

Total Interactions: 100,125

Bookmarks: 751

New Followers: 1,779

Responses: 3,633

Reposts: 4,010

Video Visualizations: 148,369

Content Visualizations: 155,643

These statistics highlight my commitment to not only informing the community about the latest news and developments within Polkadot but also engaging and encouraging more individuals to participate actively in OpenGov voting. By addressing critical issues, proposing constructive ideas, and sharing intriguing insights about our voting system, I strive to attract a diverse audience and increase participation in our governance processes.

The Importance of Decentralized Voting:

It is essential to recognize that the true essence of decentralized voting can only be realized when we achieve a significant turnout of both participants and tokens. If participation remains limited to a small circle of individuals, the decisions made may reflect the interests of a select few rather than the collective will of the entire community. To ensure that our governance is genuinely representative, we must strive for higher engagement and mobilize our community to take part in shaping the future of Polkadot.

Tip Request:

To support these initiatives, I am requesting a tip of 888 DOT. This amount represents only a small fraction of the total DOT discussed in our community, much of which has often been allocated without receiving adequate feedback on past proposals.

Call to Action:

With your support, I can continue to enhance my efforts in fostering a vibrant and informed Polkadot community. Together, we can empower more citizens to engage in meaningful discussions and take part in shaping the future of Polkadot through active voting in OpenGov.

Dear estemeed HAs, DVs and Whales:

I understand that some of you may be inclined to vote NAY on my proposal, and I respect your perspective. It is crucial to acknowledge the necessity of protecting our ecosystem from proposals that could be detrimental to the wallets of our investors, the reputation of Polkadot, and the passion of our community members.

However, we are witnessing an increasing number of proposals that seem more focused on marketing rather than on meaningful development for our ecosystem. This trend is concerning and must be addressed. One effective way to discourage such requests is to bring to light the names and often absurd demands made by these individuals, sharing them with the broader audience on platforms like X. By doing so, we can deter such behavior and encourage a more constructive approach to proposals that genuinely benefit Polkadot and its community.

I hold deep admiration for the work and time you dedicate to addressing the daily matters of Polkadot. Yet, it is essential that we confront the reality of our situation. The issue at hand is not solely about individuals like myself or others who strive to shed light on the facts that can hinder investor confidence in our remarkable technology. It is about fostering a community that prioritizes integrity and genuine development.

Thank you for considering this perspective as we navigate these challenges together.
