@levelsio What countries would you compare China to in terms of travel costs? Hotels, food, transportation etc. I could just ask an LLM, but I’m more curious about real world experience.

The first official Polkadot x Harbour Industrial Capital livestream just aired and it delivered some serious clarity on where Polkadot is headed. From funding issues to ecosystem strategy, here are the key things I picked up while tuned in 👇 ➠They went straight into it: Should the Treasury be funding commercial projects with no real accountability? The take? If it’s not a public good, it shouldn’t be using public funds, especially when some teams get paid but deliver nothing. ➠ OpenGov isn’t broken, but it has blind spots. Most voters aren’t trained to assess complex proposals like VCs do. That mismatch leads to risky funding decisions—and it's starting to show. ➠That’s where Harbour Capital comes in. They’re here to bridge the gap, focusing on seed and pre-seed funding for real builders. They’ve already backed projects like @MandalaChain and @xcavateofficial , and they’re open to reviewing more. ➠ One point that really stood out: Polkadot’s transparency is unmatched but it’s also why it gets so much heat. Unlike other ecosystems that move behind closed doors, everything here plays out in public. It’s a strength, but it also invites more criticism. ➠They also highlighted key verticals they’re betting on ➛ Gaming (@PlayPudgyParty , @FIFARivals ) ➛ Real World Assets ( tokenized real estate, stocks ) ➛ DeFi ( @hydration_net, stablecoins) ➛ AI & Infra ( @origin_trail, @hyperbridge) ➠ Mario made a strong case: If the Treasury is funding a commercial product, it should own a stake in it. That way, when projects succeed, the ecosystem shares the reward. ➠Oh... and if you’re building? You can pitch directly to the HIC Advisory Board. They’ll review everything, but only the strongest projects get funded. Now, I didn’t catch the very beginning of the stream, but from the point I joined, it was full of hard truths and forward-thinking solutions. This wasn’t just another chat. It felt like the start of a smarter, more intentional Polkadot. Builders, the door’s open. Link to the live stream below 👇 [x.com/Polkadot/statu…] Speakers of today: @Pakm2n , @alice_und_bob, Xiaojie Pang, @Mick_Republik, @harbour_ind_cap, and @Mario4Altenburg.
