As the DAO has voted not to pursue a comprehensive professionalization effort, a decision needs to be made about what to do with the DAO's accumulated assets as an alternative.
Given the current gap between $APED price and net asset value of DAO holdings, liquidating the DAO would generate substantial returns for $APED Holders. There have been few concrete proposals/ideas that would generate similar returns as simply liquidating the DAOs assets.
Conservatively, liquidating the DAO assets would generate between 6-8 eth per 1,000 $APED in returns. This is equivalent to at least 2x return for investors from the last fundraising round.
The actual mechanics about how to liquidate the DAO (trading committee formation, pricing guidelines, timelines, etc) can developed and voted on separately. For now, it's important for the DAO to definitively determine if liquidating and returning ETH proceeds to $APED holders pro rata is a strategy it is committed to pursuing.
Should the DAO liquidate all of its assets?
