Sorry, but this is outrageous!

I do not support this. This in my opinion was community effort.

Not to sound rude or ungrateful, but the exchanges would probably have supported THE HIVE COMMUNITY despite who approached them. Only because we showed our strength collectively. Without each and every person that talked, shouted, and pushed back on #steemhostiletakeover, this might not have been possible.

It's okay that you feel entitled to take some credit, but $30,000 is a little too much for something the entire community brought to the table. Without the community none of this would have been possible.

I'd probably support a much lower amount, but this surely feels like a cash grab from the pool. Money that can be used in other aspects of the blockchain.

Cheers!
