I also share some concerns about /r/ethtrader previously, and have a love/hate relationship with all trading, as it definitely can fuel energy and attention to a movement, but also equally damage it and mislead people.
Iām applying a longer-term value investing approach to crypto-assets, integrated with real physical businesses that meet the needs of users and customers (food, housing, clothing, etc.) There are aspects of ethtrader such as hyping coins with no long-term plan or return, but also very diverse ideas and viewpoints. Also memes, entertainment, and NFTs are fun and accessible to non-technical users, so we would definitely lose something of life enjoyment by only participating in āserious investment forumsā. I hope itās possible to do both. /r/ethtrader for its shortcoming seems like one forum to exchange investing theses.
Does anyone actually hold DONUTs or have personal experience of the kinds of behaviors that are incentivized by being awarded them?
150k issuance to the moderators seems steep, but again, it is not easy to cultivate a large community, so one can view it as the return on the social capital theyāve invested.
For the reasons and caveats above, Iām in support of the proposal, and also to learn what technical steps are needed to interoperate any other such mainnet tokens on xDai in the future.
