I personally think it should happen, I'm not too sure about chainculture as I've only ever watched the streams and never attended, but kind of feels like cancelling it after 10 consecutive years would feel like a bigger blow to moral than prices are doing these days.

I think we should be way more careful with proposals and it seems like many are ending now and giving us some breathing room (although if our sell pressure from proposals/rewardspool really has an effect on market is hard to say - I lean against no, considering there's like 60% of all hive on exchanges and alts out there doing just as bad as we are, so it is mostly in the hands of the markets imo and many of us are just desperately looking for people to point fingers at). Anyway, quite a long sentence as usual, I'm not great at keeping those short.

Even though I recognize this comment is going to trigger quite a lot of people, keep in mind I'm saying this as unselfishly as possible since I've never attended and doubtful to attend this one either, it should get funded and it should happen.

This is coming from someone who's all in hive pretty much and for the past few years decided to fairly launch a gaming project that turned way bigger than expected against a declining price that kept eating at most of his hive and continues to. So I'm definitely there with people about the price hurting us and I'm unsure how much longer I would've been able to take it mentally but am somewhat optimistic again with AI making things cheaper and possible to work on for myself rather than have to rely too much on others to get things done who mostly look to extract as much as they can - maybe we've had a similar issue in the DHF compartment over the years as some outsourced devs/artists/others I've had the "pleasure" of working together with these last few years regarding my project.

I warned you about long sentences.
