Feist, this proposal is quite interesting. A billion dollars to fund a bold and aggressive Ethereum advocacy effort is much better than the current lukewarm attitude of the foundation. At least now the board has to tie their decisions to the token price, hitting the core of the issue.

ME News May 22 Report: Feist proposed raising at least $1 billion to establish a new Ethereum advocacy organization to "save" ETH. The foundation, as a non-profit, holds very little ETH, lacks staking income, and struggles to align with the network economy, requiring strong funding, a willing and fighting leadership, and a board directly linked to ETH prices, with some funds potentially coming from staking rewards. During the same period, the foundation experienced talent loss, and the community expressed dissatisfaction with governance and ETH performance.
