"Research indicates that habitual gamblers typically exhibit a mean discount factor slightly below 0.8, whereas problem gamblers tend to have a discount factor closer to 0.5." . Crypto users are at ~0.72 on this scale. So, I guess we're all good - we don't have a problem.

Can't believe I wrote a 31-tweet thread. JFC I don't even know who I am anymore. Give me a follow or a retweet . Or check out
ROOK (@rook) has been getting a lot of attention lately, but not really the kind any dao would want. The team has been accused of siphoning funds from the ~$45M treasury to enrich themselves at the expense of tokenholders. Let's see what's actually happening. 🦙 🏫 ⬇️

As one comment said. "Sounds like dev team and ROOK token holders got married 2 years ago, and now dev team wants to divorce, keep the kids, the assets, and ask the ROOK holders to say 'thank you'".

It's all just a bit gross. The incubator dao proposal feels like it threw gasoline on an already tense situation.

There's an argument to be made that trying to cash in on trading the token for the treasury value could be called a governance attack. And doing it after so much time has been spent building new products may be shortsighted.

That's basically where I'm going to end this. There's more, and things will keep developing, but I'm tapping out here. It's a messy situation. I don't think it's as simple as saying 'the team is siphoning funds from the treasury'.

Yea, that's some bullshit. Another uncomfortable aspect is this 'fun' tidbit over who owns the IP. Hint. It's not the dao. And given the current state of things, it's hard to imagine the team handing over the IP to the dao.

There's one comment I want to read through as it really captures the insanity here. "You’re gonna tell me that holders got inflated to death with emissions, funded the project indirectly and now you wanna take away any possible upside of the tech/war chest that was accumulated."

Also, who are they kidding by calling it an incubator dao?. Like token holders are just going to be able to take this money and go build an industry-leading MEV product real quick?. c'mon now.

It seems extremely contradictory that distributing $10M here is acceptable, while they cited regulatory concern constantly before. If they can distribute $10M here, then why not more and let people rage-quit?. It does feel like they scream regulatory concern when convenient.

As someone with no skin in the game, it's hard to see it as anything other than a giant "FUCK YOU" to ROOK holders. It would grant $7M in stables and ~$3M in ROOK to a spinoff dao for people to do whatever they want with.
