This debate is not about funding. This debate is about values. Values that must be defended because it’s those that the project are radiating.

To me, @joshs and @aquietinvestor have made statements that contradict each others regarding the place of ZEC holders, but @joshs has the palm of the most conflicting one between this proposal and his very recent comment:

“I believe that coin holders should determine if and how dev funds are distributed.” – [Building Consensus. ECC Update - #5 by joshs](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/building-consensus-ecc-update/50578/5)

I honestly don’t know either why @aquietinvestor offered to help me, given he his behind this very proposal that I am so starkly against, but here we are.

I’m curious where this goes. The ZEC price may crash for a while, but ultimately, once we get PoS, I’m confident it won’t be possible to take advantage of ZEC holders anymore.
