In my opinion, you deserve to receive money for your work, I know you are one of the people in the frontlines and from reading through all the comments I know you did an awesome job with the listings, there is one thing I disagree with though, the amount...

The amount of money you are asking is way too much in my opinion... I know that 30k is not much for Americans, but 30k is a lot for other countries, and Hive is a world-wide blockchain, so the salary is a little too much in my opinion... many doctors in my country don't earn that in 1 whole year working only at the hospital(most have to work at multiple places)! And I live in Europe, which isn't exactly poor... so, I will fund it, but not to 30k(still not sure how to fund it up to a certain amount), I think 15k for all that work is more aligned to what I believe you should earn, especially since, like I said, this is a worldwide blockchain and many countries and investors are represented here, the salary should have that in mind.

Ofc, if the community reaches the consensus that you deserve 30k, I'm fine with it ofc...

This second point is more of a rant, but after reading some comments on different post regarding this proposal I have to say something...

It seems some people are diminishing the importance of all the people who tweeted and fought on tweeter to give exchanges and big crypto people bad PR for the hostile takeover, which pisses me off a little, especially since the bad PR was probably one of the reasons that so many exchanges decided to join in on the fight, and even made CZ and binance realize they must have done something wrong, the bad PR also made your job a little easier. I took days out of my time, and even tried to multitask while studying for an exam, to tweet and fight the hostile takeover on tweeter while many people only tried to monetize the whole thing on Steem(which I never did since the fight was more about values for me) ... it's kinda sad to see that some people are diminishing that "work".
