Is Gitcoin over its skis? should we hold spending flat while addressing unavoidable risks?

Internal audit? This is honestly just more scope.

We can talk about and think about spending less money… or we can just rip off the bandaid and do it. We have a cold winter ahead and we are burning thru our resources like they are infinite.

Everyone else in the space is making cuts for a good reason, we need to follow suit.

Giveth spends around $120k a month with 40+ paid contributors, ~50% being full time, and GTC is spending 10x that, but it is not an org 10x the size. We are very inefficient with our resources IMO, and can do more with less, but there is no motivation to move that direction, because it is hard!

We have to accept the Macro reality and think long term. Going a little slower now will allow us to go further overall.
