When this proposal was put up, it wasn't an issue. It became an issue with subsequent proposals like the DHF agreement to buy a million HIVE and 130,000 HBD, which was still fine. Then the DAO passed a proposal to hire cryptomancer as well. It all adds up and when the DAO chooses to budget pretty much every dollar it has, that doesn't allow much room for things like market fluctuations. I'm pretty sure people did point this stuff out as I made it clear to Matt when he ran the cryptomancer proposal that this proposal we're getting now was a very real possibility. Unless the DAO wants to start selling DEC or SPS we don't have a lot of options. Regardless of who said what and when, we currently have a budget problem and need to fix it.
