January 2023 GMC Community Discussion of Submitted Applications

@jasperthegovghost’s work and application speak for themselves. That said, the magnitude of Jasper’s impact is hard to get one’s head around. How valuable is such high-profile networking and high-impact marketing to a protocol like Rocket Pool? Companies routinely pay heavy-hitting executives obscene salaries to access their networks, without getting essays in the tens of thousands of words from them that are their own marketing campaigns.

I would caution this community against undervaluing marketing, which often happens in the Ethereum ecosystem. Read the stats in Jasper’s post, and think about how we got here (1M impressions in a month? :exploding_head:).

All of that is to say that I believe the real value of Jasper’s contributions to Rocket Pool far exceeds what the DAO can afford. Thank you, Jasper, for putting your heart and soul into Rocket Pool!
