Nobody is disputing your importance to this community or the work you've done. So this isn't personal.

Hive is below 6 cents. Sitting at $0.057 and down 14% this past month. The ecosystem is bleeding and the token is at historic lows. I think this proposal and honestly every other active proposal should be under serious scrutiny right now.

Taking 90k HBD out of the DHF right now, roughly $81k USD, while the chain is in this state would be a terrible look. It doesn't matter how justified the work was. Right now it looks like people grabbing silverware off the Titanic while it sinks. The optics are awful and they reflect on everyone involved, not just you.

Nobody is doubting your intentions or if you deserve to be compensated. But I think it would be fiscally irresponsible to support this proposal at this point in time, especially considering we've already had other funded projects voluntarily take a funding cut and the controversy around the DHF right now. The DHF needs to be preserved, not drawn down, when the ecosystem is fighting for survival.
