I only look to ValuePlan as a project that has the goal to do marketing and spreading Hive to more places and getting more users, investors, or new partnerships with stores or other crypto projects.

I think transparency on this is essential, although the funds do not come directly from the pocket of the community, they are still funds that end up being exchanged for Hive and sold in the market to pay for the expenses of events/projects, creating sales pressure on Hive.

About @guiltyparties we still talking about this topic.
