I submit the following discussion document to gauge community interest for two weeks, and if the community deems it acceptable, I will subsequently submit a proposal incorporating all feedback. We will appear on AAG on Oct 24 to present the initial idea.
Tl;dr Requesting $25K USDT to support the sponsorship as the Official Blockchain Partner for the BitBasel Closing Party, hosted by Grammy Award winners Anitta and Ozuna.
<hr />
Note: I have been in conversation with <a href="https://linktr.ee/bitbasel">BitBasel</a> since early August with the view of doing something material in 2025, as the runway for the 2024 Miami Art Week was too tight for proper planning and execution. The 2024 Closing Party sponsorship opportunity is something that we feel we can execute well, and benefit both parties.&nbsp; Click here to see the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xax9BaPM-wguqR1Xfih9jtUBpJwXDLNl/view?usp=sharing">original BitBasel 2024 Sponsorship deck</a>&nbsp;which I declined to pursue or bring to OpenGov due to said time constraints.
