Thank you again for the additional feedback. I could have used the initial Trad-Fi feedback in a more positive light, so I have rewritten my pitch for funding.
— Amended Proposal —
We attended multiple traditional finance, legal and family-office-focused events during quarter one. I spent my time discussing crypto with them and getting an understanding of their knowledge and appetite to invest in the space. There were concerns about the technology and volatility.
The volatility is widely known, should be priced into any investment, and is easily managed by investment size. The second needs to be fixed and is something my proposal plans to do.
We plan to utilise the grant to cover the costs of booths at Traditional Finance events, such as Accountex and AYU events. This strategic investment will allow us to demonstrate the ease of payments and the speed of ApeChain, addressing the concerns raised.
We know the delegates at these events love coffee and Kombucha for the more health-conscious delegates. We will use part of the grant to gift tokens to delegates and then demonstrate the speed of ApeChain and the ease of using crypto for micropayments, like coffee.
We will also have part of the stand space dedicated to two MBA (Made By Apes) products, demonstrating the quality of our community and the businesses within it.
I want to showcase the technology and the people, signpost them to Bored Security to learn more about wallets and offer them a chance to ask basic questions on the stall, enjoy a beverage, and even purchase some of our selected MBA products.
Such amazing imagery, hidden behinds walls of text and spreadsheets.
So many unnecessary words.
My ADHD brain has a hard time reading this. It’s just too much.
Lessen the personal narrative. I stopped reading at interested in BTC after two friends three weeks apart, I have no need for that level of detail backstory for this proposal.
Reduce all team bios. Eliminate every unnecessary word.
Short, concise. Quick. To the point. Easily digestible.
I love the idea of talking ApeCoin over coffee at large events. But for the love of God, get to the point.
Run it through Chat GPT if you have to, with the simple prompt: “Eliminate every unnecessary word or detail.”
Your proposal description needs to be just that. Describing the proposal.
This proposal intends to address three major issues: educating new consumers on crypto and blockchains as a whole, understanding that consumers do not need a Yuga asset to participate in the DAO, and dispelling the belief that crypto is only used for nefarious reasons.
Additionally, our goal is to have 15% of patrons set up recurring buys of $APE for 60 months (waaay too long of a commitment for any consumer in my point of view, but I digress.)
This will be achieved by hosting a mobile solar powered coffee bar sponsored by ApeCoin that provides free coffee and education at events around the world.
I agree. The author is assuming people all made money and those who did are even still holders and part of the community.
I paid 40 ETH for my BAYC. Probably down 50ETH+ on Yuga NFTs (maybe more, even accounting for the airdrop). I am down what might be for some life changing money.
Also the proposal is long winded. Alot about the authors, but less about why and how this is what a grant should for. Also is this suitable for a grant or a commercial arrangement?
This proposal is live for vote at Snapshot. The voting period closes 13 days from now at 9PM EST.
The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimize for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP. Any material deviations from an AIP, as initially approved, will be disclosed to the APE holder community.
