Temperature Check - How to Increase Liquidity for the HOP Token?

I donā€™t think this should have been put up for a vote yet. If it remains up, I am voting no, mostly for that reason and particularly so given the strong reactions weā€™ve seen so far.

In an effort somewhat break the brigade and turn this into a productive discussion, I think itā€™s important to note that what @RichardShart is suggestingā€“there can be value creation from making treasury assets productiveā€“is a legitimate idea and itā€™s been tried a ton before and written about quite a lot. I think the first time it was discussed was in this Placeholder blog post: Stop Burning Tokens ā€“ Buyback and Make Instead ā€” Placeholder. Pickle Finance went on to implement something like this: Into the Brine Vol. 5 ā€” Smart Treasury and Basis PickleJar | by Pickle Finance | Medium Iā€™d be very curious to hear how it worked out for them and what they learned as a result.

In short, this proposal as itā€™s written needs to be discussed in a lot greater detail and consider some major revisions and plans based on community feedback. The way Iā€™m reading this, it feels more like pool2 incentivization which is likely not a good use of resources. A better program would consider some of the ideas from the links I posted above. Otherwise, itā€™s also just not time to vote on this.
