Our team at Colorful Notion tabulated this dashboard <a href="https://dune.com/substrate/polkadot-and-kusama-decentralized-voices">Decentralized Voices on Dune</a> this past month (see also <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/decentralized-voices-the-story-so-far/7076/9">forum post</a>) and to the best of our knowledge these Polkadot DVs aren't getting paid to do the kind of quality analyses they do, including commenting on this forum. &nbsp; There are a LOT of proposals, and doing this work is not easy. &nbsp; They act as general purpose "DOT experts", which we believe is tip worthy.
This tip is for Decentralized Voices OpenGov voters who have put in a LOT of time and energy this month, and sheer courage. &nbsp;
You can disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. &nbsp;About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. &nbsp; Because they change things. &nbsp;They push Polkadot forwards. &nbsp;While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see people who should be recognized for their courage and for trying to make a difference. &nbsp; Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change Polkadot, are the ones who do.
<h2 id="thankyoudecentralizedvoices">Thank you Decentralized Voices!</h2>
PS This is not an April fools joke. &nbsp;But if any DV doesn't think they deserve a tip, kindly send it to another DV who does, or send it back to the Treasury.&nbsp;
