9/
The PRO maxibid argument included:
- clearly communicated the raise was a donation
- Discord was unmanageable and indicative of its vulnerability to state influence (bot armies and threats received)
- a small window was presented to transfer the funds raised into the safe and reliable Wau Holland
- nobody knew if 54 million would be adequate to free Julian - hence maxbid now
- Wau Holland had a long history safeguarding Julian/Wikileaks funding
Anti- maxibid argument
- multi -sigs who were promaxibid left
- Wau Holland - a Foundation - is not completely transparent (German tax office dealings)
- 10000 holders - many with technical capability, not bureaucrats, means of freeing JA by a DAO, potentially wider ranging
- NFT was too expensive and no reason to enforce DAO into a maxibid
- a missed opportunity to showcase what a DAO could have achieved
12/
