Our community can hardly agree on a strategy.

So it is.

If you post the same argument but show data proving you bought more HIVE than you earned from Hive,

There is nothing to prove. Hive is my job. Its the primary thing I do. Talking about skin in the game, I have no skin outside this game. Thats primarily why I cant let Hive continue in the direction it has been going in, because it affects me more than almost anyone else on this chain.

I am even considering unsupporting the proposals I supported and voting only the return proposal to raise the bar.

Then there is no point in discussing strategy at all. There is no strategy, spend when you have it, stop when you dont.
Why talk about it if it doesnt matter.

It is a lot because HBD is not magic money. I'd dare say it is not even money. Asking for 540HBD means, at the bottomline, asking to sell 540 HBD worth of HIVE.

You missed the point of the comment. The whole comment explains why Im saying what im saying.

because this is vastly different from a bull market with enough liqudity to fund projects

So when does strategy start to matter? When we have money it doesnt matter. When we dont have money it doesnt matter.

Does it matter ever? When things are going well nobody cares to think about this stuff and never will.
So we have to make the shift now, when people actually start to care, there is no other point in time when it can be done.

Under current condition all proposals sum down to how much they will add in sell pressure.

Thats the no-strategy approach. Its all the same, lump it all together. Doing open source stuff is the same as keychain spending on building towards revenue generation that brings money potentially into the system. "Its all the same, its just numbers."

How productive can the money being spent be? Thats the question.
1 HBD to one project does not EVER equal 1 HBD to another.
