Just as Bitcoin begain to ossify about 10 years ago, the co-opting of Zcash by the American ruling class into a "Bitcoin 2" narrative will do wonders for the price and not much else.

It'd be a mistake to kill only one part of the dev fund.
If dissolved, then no half measures, dissolve it all, both the ZCG and coinholder streams. The coinholder stream accrues ~216 ZEC a day until the halving. Same problem.
Part of the reason for ZCG funding until the current ZIP was a governance balance. Part of it was to provide speculative funding for ideas that needed incubation.
Coinholder grants were a bridge away from direct funding when funding was scarce. It served its purpose.
If dev funding is no longer needed, a better market signal is the retirement of the entire fund. A half measure leaves the door open to ongoing debate and politics. Markets like certainty.
Redirect both streams to the NSM through the halving, as Sean's draft does for ZCG. ZCG honors every approved grant, then sends the rest to the NSM.
One proposed exception is a one-time endowment for a legal defense fund for Zcash developers, decided by coinholders.
Note: ZODL recently received a retroactive coin holder grant (non ZCG) for core protocol work and will apply for future grants if the fund still exists. My argument for a full, rather than partial retirement would eliminate that potential source of funding.

It's time to turn off the ZCG funding stream.
ZCG has over $125M in funding, and will receive millions more before the spigot is turned off. The program was never designed to handle this amount of funding.

One conclusion I've reached about human advancement is that we create solutions for existing problems until we reach a point where we start creating problems to justify solutions.
The paradox of human progress.
By the time jack is done with Dessa; it's just gonna be mind-blowing.
Lmaoo, finally got to check this out.
At this point, everyone is gonna have a passphrase they use over the phone.
I can't help but think of how dangerous Claude & Dessa would be together.
Nonetheless, Dessa sure sounds like a real human, however, you could notice she still sounds like a 'dumb' one (she probably hasn't been trained on much data yet).
Best believe it gets smarter from here tho. Wild times we're in.

She's such a marketer.
Imagine channeling ask this energy on something useful.

This time last week Friday, I was on stage at @blockfestafrica talking about AI, blockchain, and building trust in this new age of intelligence.
I spend a lot of time building with AI, and it keeps showing me how much more is possible. But many people still don’t know where to start or what they can trust.
Those of us figuring it out have a duty to bring more Africans along: show what works, be honest about what doesn’t, and help people use these tools to build something of their own.
We have too much talent here to leave people out of the next digital economy.
gm & happy new week frens, gon be your best one yet.
