Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1649

A rare Australian opal will be turned into a Polkadot-themed amulet.
It will be shown on Outback Opal Hunters (Discovery Channel).
The opal will be split into 100 billion tokens on Polkadot.
The Polkadot Treasury will own it, so everyone in the community can have a piece.
The amulet will be sold to a Polkadot member for the whole community.
It will be displayed at Polkadot events with "As seen on Discovery Channel."
This is Polkadot’s first real-world asset (RWA) owned by the Treasury.
The show’s director supports sharing opal ownership using blockchain.

Nay

Without being able to situate this in a larger strategy, while an interesting opportunity, I believe the next phase needs to be builder focused rather than creating awareness among the general population.

Nay

We are unsure of the value this will bring to the ecosystem beyond awareness.

You know what, this is the kind of marketing that we should throw $250k at. On a more serious note, the previous similar episode they've done "Digi Diggers Sell First Digital Opal In The Metaverse! | Outback Opal Hunters" doesn't seem to have made an impact in terms of generating interest/clicks/views to justify funding this one and hope for some eyes to turn towards Polkadot.

Nay

Exposure is not a big problem for polkadot currently.

We are fairly certain that the price tag is not worth the approach, especially given the current economic state. Nay, not needed.

Nay

I think it's a marketing strategy that we don't need at Polkadot and it won't have the right impact.

Abstain

i find the idea interesting but can't ignore the fact that programmatic ads could achieve many more views at a much lower cost. abstaining for now as the price seems too high for the current market. would also like more clarity on streaming platform numbers for episode re-runs if available
