It was said to me the other day, I should write the post instead of giving the idea's I have in discord to people. Not the first time I have had my ear chewed about that. I did that with a post for *The Alliance*. It didn't attract much attention. Until recently I did not realise some of whom have been looking are reading too. I do know there are a few take some time and do read what I post. I thank you for that. Thank you too for the time you give in the discord chats. A few new names have looked recently at whet I posted, This is due mainly to writing about the new foundation. I think we hit a home run with that effort in expanding the concept in mind. More people have an understanding of the concept to some degree than before. Growth is limited to the investment cap to the foundation. I do see the need for additional funding. I do not think that can be denied. In this case the more the merrier.

I did make a suggestion to a member of the Foundation structure board about maybe hosting a couple of shows about the top two projects on the voting. Two separate shows. The first to dissect the first project in a community environment and go through it on a deeper level, Let people voice their concerns about the project and some aspects of it. Doing this prior to the foundation being formed, may eliminate some of the following disagreements of opinion.

As we are working on this from a community mind and the best concerns for the Chain's future is what we are all thinking about. There is an opportunity to gain some investment from members already involved in the platform, Let those who are already here, by some stake in the new foundation if it is intended to remunerate to private individuals or formed entities.

Keeping in mind this is for the Chain benefit and not an individuals. This can be done on a sliding scale giving those with the lowest amount to invest an opportunity. It does also show t he higher valued accounts not gaining a total advantage over those lower and create a more level reward from the finance generated. Those with a higher stake would not agree with this.

The basics are simple. We would like to reach X amount of Steem Power of financial investment. This can be done over several tiers. as an investment to dividend return's. (This removes the stake power having control over an account.) We are not intending to create a individually controlled system. It is said to become independent.

We should be building what external industry can make use of in a secure and safe manner. Creating an external source of support is essential. Right now we would invite a business to build the foundation for us and they will want returns shares and control over what it is suppose to be use building. Unless someone has been working in the background with a project already. We have ot got the structure to support any big business.

I think investment from business or loans is nothing more then to slow growth and reduce control the community will have for this formed foundation.

Tier 1: 1 Steem = 1 Dividend Share.
Tier 2: 1 Steem = 0.85 Dividend Share.
Tier 3: 1 Steem = 0.70 Dividend Share.
Tier 4: 1 Steem = 0.50 Dividend Share.

(Even if this does not give a great generation of financial support. It give those who have been here already a chance to gain some footing on the ground floor, before any external investment is gained.)

These tiers can be set to amounts of finance gained. until the total X amount is reached. These Dividend Shares would return a % of the profit made from physical world industry investment. To throw another spanner in the works. Any growth gained by the account itself would go to funding the account as part of the finance generated through dividend investment. One more spanner. This amount should be capped and not exceed the amount invested by 2 x per year. After all this is for the success of the Chain as a whole.

With all that said, No matter which proposal is chosen, If anything I have wrote would like to be used as part of the overall project, I am happy to share my thoughts on how to overcome some of the obstacles I have voiced in previous posts. In all the posts I have wrote. I have wrote with a mindset for what I believe is a strong foot forward for the Chain itself and not any private entity.

Investing with Steem in the physical world creates a demand and an environment to utilise services provided with Steem/SBD.
