When it comes to the Cardano Treasury at this point in the game, I think those funds should be used for maintaining Cardano, improvements to Cardano, real marketing of Cardano and forms of project support with repayment plans. As far as I'm concerned, the days of cashing out from the Treasury for ideas and ventures that bring nothing to the chain but fun mentions, ego masturbation or green peace posturing just dont sit well with me anymore. The wasteful spending days are over. I've been very accommodating for years in efforts to give everyone a shot at building something ground breaking, to achieve greatness on chain. I've watched company start on Cardano to obtain community support just to jump ship to other chains where they felt the grass would be greener when to me, it would appear their execution resulted in lack of interest or growth and Cardano was blamed. Where are they now? I'm tired of seeing Cardano be used, bullied and otherwise bled by ALL parties with their thumb in the pie while so many of us continue working for free, taken for granted and acting as the front line infantry taking the shots for the officers as they sit on their horses upon the distant hills overlooking the fray below. It's time for a real change in how us Dreps are treated, how the power entities operate in "Cardano's" favor or not, and how the Treasury is handled. Why do we have founding entities with endless ADA at their disposal, more worried about collecting voting power and supporting interests that do nothing for Cardano instead of just funding these efforts themselves? If these proposals were worthy of Treasury funds, are they not worthy of being funded by the entities that support them? If not, why should we support them? I want to see everyone succeed, prosper, innovate and compete, but the rules need to change once and for all and people need to start adding more of their own skin in the game. It's not 2017 anymore.
