Don't think about it: just do it.

Do it!
I can't recall ever promoting any proposal on Hive... ever.
First time for everything I guess.
70k HBD is a small price to pay
Hell, look at my account. I could technically pay for it myself out of pocket. Of course, I'd never do that, because I have nothing to gain by creating such a documentary. That's exactly why the decentralized Hive fund exists in the first place: so we can throw money at projects that benefit the entire ecosystem, but not necessarily the people we hire to create the thing. Hive needs to show more strength in this arena.
How many other communities have a story to tell?
We already had big players like Vitalik commenting on how big of a deal this hostile takeover and subsequent fork of the chain was. There are a lot of maximalists in crypto. There are a lot of tribalists. We will not be taken seriously until we step up to the plate and show the world what we got.
Truly, 70k HBD out of the dev fund is not a big risk. What is the worst that can happen? It doesn't get made? Plenty of the stuff the Hive fund pays for doesn't get made or live up to expectations. That's the beauty of the Hive fund; it's like a venture capital fund. 10% of the projects can provide 99% of the value. We can fail 90% of the time and still come out of it smelling like roses.
Besides, even John McAfee had his own documentary!
And just look how well that worked out!
Joking aside, the return proposal currently stands at 29,064,310 HP
The documentary proposal sits at 28,956,366 HP.
- It only needs 108,044 more HP to get funded.
- It's going to get funded.
- Maybe you go down in history books as the account that made it happen :D
- Do it!
Important notes from the proposal:
This will not be a Hive "shill" piece with the sole goal of making the Hive community feel good.
This will not be a revenge piece.
We will not be portraying Binance and Huobi as being complicit to the Steem takeover.
- No burnt bridges
- No technicalities
- Attempts to appeal to a wider audience.
- Portray the philosophical struggle of community vs perceived threat.
Conclusion
It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. All I gotta do is click a button and a documentary gets made for me? How crazy is that? If this thing actually gets produced there is no way it's worth less than the cost to make it. Guaranteed.
Click the damn button!
