why not make the collection ceiling a maximum of 250k? it used to be so, so investors earned. how do you like my suggestion?

Hey Carnegie, I know where you are coming from, but the reality is, that the market in early 2021 is completely different to the one in 2022. Due to the success of Polkastarter 100s of copycats emerged. Additionally, projects who were raising maybe 1-2 million in early 2021 are now raising 5-10. We don't think it's fair that the public only gets a very very small chunk of that and insist that public has at least 10% of the total raise, ideally more, as we strongly believe, that public investors can bring a lot of value to the project. We still hope and continue to build towards, that POLS holders and investors will continue to add value to the project beyond the IDO and become long-term supporters of the project they invest in and help them succeeed.
