[THIS IS GOING TO FAIL ANYWAYS, NO MATTER WHAT YOU VOTE. CHOSE A WRONG PRE-IMAGE.]

Background

I am the only Polkadot Ambassador in Finland, so far. I have been working to establish the basis for a local community here, completely on a voluntary basis. As part of that slow but steady progress, I found organisers for one of the four European Polkadot Decoded Viewing Parties. I have also created connections to reliable crypto influencers and citizen journalists. This is my first ever OpenGov proposal, aiming to learn the ropes so I can teach others later. (I know the pre-image was wrongly selected but I'm here to make mistakes so others don't have to).

Hopium Podcast

Hopium is a Finnish language podcast about crypto and blockchain, available on Spotify and on YouTube. It is a citizen journalism initiative outside of our "Dotsama bubble". I was invited to talk about Polkadot in their 44th episode. This was the first time ever that Polkadot is discussed in any Finnish media. Based on the feedback received, it will not be the last one. The hosts would like to do a follow up episode, delving deeper into Polkadot DeFi.

Time investment

Although the groundwork has taken months, the preparation for this podcast specifically was about eight hours and the recording itself about two hours.

Tip

The tip that I’m asking for is for 10 hours of work, 10 DOT per hour, 100 DOT in total.

Reasoning

On our journey to futher 'human decentralization', tips for those who represent Polkadot in the media should function as incentives, at least before Ambassadors collective is in full steam.
