Apologies dude, I certainly didn't mean to sound demeaning but I get why you felt that way. Let me try to explain better:
As I said, I understand why someone could think overpaying is a problem, and I don't think you should blindly assume anything. But I also don't think I would be doing anyone a service if I fail to point out that our real problem with respect to execution is that we are under-resourced.
Because the solution to that problem is to use the abundant DAO treasury resources to aggressively recruit and retain talent, that course of action is the exact opposite of the course of action implied by the concern we are overpaying. That's why I want to come out forcefully against the assumption we are overpaying: I think it is actually a huge own goal for the DAO, and therefore a toxic and unproductive assumption.
We have been forked dozens of times, and that's fine imo because there are 2 things you can't fork: community/contributors and treasury. We're in a unique position to leverage our treasury to increase our contributors' collective energy, to execute on our highly ambitious roadmap to bring more value to the treasury. I believe this flywheel effect is real and will be one of the reasons we crush it together in 2022.
be well ohmie
