56 Votes For My Proposal So Far (Starts In 2 Days) 😀
The proposal spurred up a lot of questions and got fairly good visibility so far.
It hit the PeakD Daily Top!
One of the main questions revolved around if anything would change on a protocol level or require a hard fork of HIVE, STEEM, or Blurt. Nothing would change from that perspective and someone could continue on HIVE through whatever interface they are using without any knowledge of this proposal or app and everything would stay the same for them.
Most People On HIVE .....
Would agree that we need more development, more users, more traffic, additional revenue sources, more marketing, and less divisiveness.
Having a proposal that addresses that is a positive thing and why aren't there 20 or 30 proposals per month to build the system out?
Daily Funded: 26,159.741 HBD
Daily Budget: 235,197.963 HBD
Total Budget: 23,519,796.261 HBD
The HIVE Backed Dollar is a debt against HIVE. We have plenty of breathing room and what is the system for if we don't utilize some of the budget to keep building?
The fact that not very many people are attempting to submit a proposal to the system is a concern.
The Opposition
Some of the reaction was less than positive which you can expect that with anything but none of it carried a lot of weight. The proposal would still have a problem getting quickly approved even if I just made it for HIVE and cut the premise of STEEM and HIVE out. The same goes for other stuff like breaking down more about my experience, going into more details about the technical details, powering up a million dollars worth of HIVE, completing the entire project AND then asking for funding.
All these various things are easy excuses in some respects and most of us would agree there is a lot of self censorship on here. That goes for support for Proposals as well. Some people aren't going to want others to see they voted for it.

I have been asked before how I got all these games scheduled with these MLB Partner League teams. I said, "I just asked." They gave me a shot and saw I was sourcing a quality team and making moves so we reschedule every year.
I was doing all this before Dogecoin did 10,000% in a year.
So if you feel that I'm not that guy to make things happen there are a few other proposals out there that aren't currently funded.
The LeoFinance proposal is unfunded currently. I'm sure people would have various issues or things to say but as someone holding a bit of LEO I have a smile on my face EAR to EAR Baby! 😁🦁
Downside Risk
The downside risk of voting for the proposal is basically negligible. For starters let's say it did get past the funding threshold. You would find out within a week or two if I was taking massive action. If I wasn't posting updates and progress reports you could just Unsupport the Proposal.
Where are all the developers who are going to pick HIVE to build on and build an app for free to MAYBE get funding????? 🦗🦗🦗
For everyone who thinks this proposal is bogus why don't you submit a proposal? Why don't you build a team and build an app for free as a tryout?
There should be massive action. We have 6 to 8 months to make this cycle count. Imagine if no one new shows up and previous users don't reengage......then what? 4 years until the next cycle peak? Are you going to survive that long?
