RE: Exposed to the Rocks: Thoughts about the DHF Proposals

Totally agree ! Humans aren't evolved to handle rejection well, the instinct is to get defensive and then come back harder, which is not usually right in the modern era.

But there is one other factor I think should be considered; whether the system can afford to accept a proposal no matter how the creator values their time and skill. Which is why I keep arguing that the current governance method is better than many out there, but could be refined further so that the votes required are a function of the value requested rather than a flat figure defined by the Return Proposal. Or perhaps we need a separate track for people with ideas needing smaller amounts of HBD (but done in a way that stops people breaking large projects up into artificially small parts).

It is also why I push proposals to show the benefit to Hive in actual numbers. As an accountant and business owner, I love to see financial business cases ! If there's a proposal to onboard new users, for example, they should have data to show (say) a first year value of each new user in terms of capital introduced (i.e. HIVE bought rather than just earned in rewards), then show how many new users they expect to onboard (and how they arrive at that figure); that way we can see if the cost of onboarding per user is more or less than the capital growth gained.
