It is clear from Discord discussions that there are two broad views among Fingerprints members.
One significant group, largely consisting of a small number of major token holders, is primarily looking for financial return and liquidity for their holdings of $PRINTS. They do not necessarily wish to be tied into the DAO for a significant period of time, at least not at their current investment level.
The other significant group, largely consisting of a large number of smaller token holders, would like to continue and improve the DAO as a collaborative collecting entity as this is what they bought into. They have less interest in liquidity, certainly at this time, seeing this as a long-term play.
Rather than plow ahead trying to suit all members, let's split the DAO's assets into two groups, one focused on liquidity and financial returns, the other a continuation of the DAO.
Whilst it is not possible to precisely address every member's individual requirements, this proposal would at least solve the largest issue facing the DAO today in a way that provokes less animosity from those finding themselves on the other side.
