#28 议案进入投票阶段尾声，可能是本年度最后一次投票。

#28 在讨论什么？

你觉得我们需要从 community pool 里面拿出 4500USD（即 164,616 LIKE）请 Irtysh Digital 帮 likecoin 在 Twitter 上面搞宣传嘛？


支持观点：

  1. LikeCoin 目前的确非常需要搞宣传扩大市场；
  2. 值此 LikeCoin 搞空投之际（详情参考 #25），搞一轮 LikeCoin 宣传活动，无疑可以让空投得到更好的效果，即 #25 #28 相辅相成；
  3. 如果 3 个月后的市场推广效果不佳，未来可以讨论罢免 Irtysh Digital 或者要求更便宜的价格。


弃权（中立）观点：

  1. 验证人“potato”缺乏市场推广相关知识、背景，不知道为期 3 个月花费 4500USD（即 164,616 LIKE）的收费是否合理，无从判断……
  2. 验证人“potato”不用 Twitter，不知道 Twitter 推广会取得何种效果……
以上 Irtysh Digital 的分析报告，验证“potato”表示看得不是很懂……


反对观点：

  1. 如果 Twitter 宣传不能起到预期效果，#28 就是浪费钱;
  2. 不知道是谁找了 Irtysh Digital，也不知道 4500USD 宣传费是如何商定的；
  3. Irtysh Digital 认为目前 Likecoin 的潜在市场有三：A类 cosmos 生态系统、B类 Web3.0 和 C类 文字内容工作者。
如果是向C类推广，我认为搭建一个英文版 Matters 或者多语种友好的 Matters，新用户注册免费送 100 likecoin 会更有效（参考隔壁 potato media 是如何忽悠用户的）；
如果是向A类B类推广，我认为空投最有效。在 #25 空投议案已通过当下，搞 #28 无非就是再多花 4500USD 叠加空投的推广效果。


结合以上多种思考后，我认为我应该就 #28 投赞同（YES）或者弃权（Abstain）。截至我决定投票时，距离 #28 投票截至还有大约 2 天时间。

投票率约 30%。虽然超过 99% 的投票支持 #28 通过，但是 #28 是自 #20 以来第一次有 Veto 投票。除了 2 人投 Veto，还有 3 人投 No，2 人投 Abstain。对比近期投票，#28 的民间支持率貌似不高，反对声音也是近期最高的议案。

对比一下投票率比较高的著名 #25 空投议案
还有投票率不高但是全员 YES 的 #24


基于以上原因，我决定给 #28 投弃权票（Abstain），原因如下：

  1. 作为一个仅有 0.07% 投票权排名倒数的验证人，投弃权票对 #28 的结果几乎毫无影响；
  2. 真的缺乏市场营销经验，有些细节无从判断；
  3. 如果只看表面任何议案都有益处，而坏处或者漏洞要仔细思考才能发现。我希望我投弃权票可以帮助选民提升意识，别一听说有空投发钱就激动跑去投 YES；
  4. 让目前 3 人 No，2 人 Veto，3 人 Abstain 的声音稍微大一点。



记得某一年新加坡大选，我遇上了一个新加坡老师。我问他：

投票了嘛？
投了……
投了谁？
反对党……
为什么？
因为人民行动党（李光耀创建的执政党）肯定会赢，我支持反对党让他们在议会的声音稍微大一点，避免新加坡走向独裁……



Voting period of #28 is approaching to the end, which is probably the last vote in the year of 2021.

What is #28 talking about?

Do you think that we need to take $4,500 ( 164,616 LIKE ) from the Community Pool to hire Irtysh Digital to execute a series of marketing campaigns on Twitter to promote LikeCoin from 20 November 2021 to 19 January 2022?


YES view:

  1. LikeCoin extremely do need some promotion to expand current market and enhance user recognition；
  2. As #25 has been passed recently and is about to launch very soon, running a round of promotion campaign at this time point could enhance the impaction of Likecoin Fairdrop;
  3. If this 3 month campaign could not reach a satisfying result, we could search a better partner to replace Irtysh Digital in the future or negotiate a better price with Irtysh Digital.


Abstain (or Neutral) view:

  1. The validator "potato" lacks background / knowledge of marketing, and has no idea whether the payment of $4,500 is a fair price for this job;
  2. The validator "potato" does not use Twitter, and has no idea to expect / predict a cryptocoin campaign on Twitter.
Based on the analysis report generated by Irtysh Digital, validator "potato" could not get it very well


No view:

  1. if Twitter promotion could not reach a satisfying result, #28 is a waste of money;
  2. #28 does not mention who found Irtysh Digital, and how $4,500 was settled.
  3. Irtysh Digital believes that there are 3 potential LikeCoin markets: A-cosmos ecosystem; B-Web3.0; C-content creator.
If we target to C-content creator, I suppose that developing an English version Matters or multi-language friendly Matters, and give every new registration 100 LikeCoin as reward would be a more effective way (refer to how Potato Media is attracting new users...). 
If we target to A-cosmos ecosystem or B-Web3.0, I suppose that airdrop is the best. As #25 has been passed, proposing #28 is just spend extra $4,500 to enhance the effect of #25.


After considering from different aspects as mentioned above, I suppose that I would probably vote YES or Abstain for #28.


By the time I made my decision and was about to vote, the voting rate of #28 was about 30%. Although more than 99% voted YES, #28 was the first proposal received Veto since #20. Besides 2 wallets voted Veto, there were 3 voted No, and 2 voted Abstain.

Compared with other proposals happened in December 2021, it seems that #28 is not very popular in delegators, and the disagree voice of #28 is also the highest among those recent proposals.

#25 Airdrop voting rate
#24 got 100% YES vote


Based on the facts above, I decided to vote Abstain for #28. Here are my reasons:

  1. As a validator with merely 0.07% voting power, vote Abstain has 0 impaction on the result of #28. In my opinion, #28 would pass without doubt.
  2. Lacking marketing experience, and cannot analyze #28 from a more detailed level;
  3. Every proposal has a beneficial aspect, however, the negative side or loophole may not be so that obvious and could only turn out after taking some time to consider from different aspects. I hope that my Abstain vote could raise an awareness in normal delegators-DON'T GIVE YOUR YES SO EASILY!
  4. Raise the voice of the disagree group: 3 wallets NO, 2 wallets Veto, 3 wallets Abstain.
