Someone asked for more opinions from large stakeholders, so I'll briefly add my opinion. All the tokenomics you've discussed were already discussed and coding plans were made as early as Hivefest, as I recall. Even we discussed briefly in discord. My opinions basically match that of ABW (and apparently smooth as well).

If anything, Hive needs to be spending more right now, not less, but spending more requires more ideas and programmers capable of implementing them. And as ABW has already pointed out, until at least SPL proposal, I've personally been spending more than entire DHF expenditures on devs. And of course at some point, DHF will have to take over those costs, as I won't fund it forever on my own.

But the root cause of our disagreement is your argument that reducing DHF will help Hive price. I completely disagree with this thesis. Of course, on each side it is just a guess, so there is no way to definitively prove it except to stop spending on DHF (which IMO would be a complete disaster).

Note I don't always agree on every proposal (as you can see I don't vote for them all, especially ones that ask too much without clear enough benefit), but nonetheless despite that I think the overall result of DHF spending will be beneficial to Hive in the long term. Spend or die is the proper way to look at it, IMO. As far as I can tell, the biggest stakeholders in Hive agree with this idea to some degree. This is also the method by which I was ultimately successful in business, I should add.
