Why I want to be a Threshold delegate:
I am confident my experience with Threshold and beyond can be beneficial to people who may not have as much time to devote to following the myriad opportunities and questions facing this project now and in our exciting future.
I identify with Jake’s statement above regarding committing blood, sweat and tears to Threshold. As you see listed below, I’ve been involved with Keep for nearly 6 years and Threshold since inception. I significantly increased my activities starting in October 2022, and since mid-November I’ve spent 30-40 hours a week between roles on the Marketing and Treasury Guild committees, as well as on other DAO-wide activities (I’m currently compensated as a guild member and for up to 22 additional hours/week spent on a temporary role leading multiple Marketing Guild workstreams).
I commit to voting on every issue, as well as posting my reasoning on this forum, so anyone considering delegating can determine how well my views reflect theirs. I also welcome dialog here, in Discord and on twitter (including direct message).
I confirm that:
I’m willing and able to participate in governance of the upcoming DAO. I understand this is an ongoing role that requires active participation: Agree
I understand that delegates are unpaid volunteers. Being a delegate does not qualify me for any payment in tokens: Agree

(While I’m a fan of Ancient Greek writers and thinkers, I don’t claim to be the “crypto Socrates”; that was a handle I originally set for asking questions, but switched to it as my main account when I got locked out of my original.)
