I mean, it literally says that HBD will be used first and DEC next. Regardless, most of the DEC received by the DAO will be during pre-sales. There's no reason for the team to pay in anything other than DEC there. They receive DEC, or maybe credits but those are "converted" to DEC. Why would the team not pay in DEC when it is at peg?

Many players wanted to go the opposite direction. Stop this connection between the DAO and the team. Some even wanted the DAO's DEC burned. This proposal goes in the opposite direction.
