Governance over the platform we live on is a good long-term idea

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand how exactly is this relevant for PRPL :|

Even though this does not meet the proliferation requirement, it is important for the Purple DAO to have a say in the Builder DAO governance.

Purple has an interest in ensuring the tooling we're built on is maintained in our best interests. This seems like a reasonable amount to spend in participating in nouns builder governance. I'm sympathetic to the argument that this doesn't directly affect the mission, but I'm okay with some operational overhead, which I think this fits into.

onboard with having a say in the protocol this dao runs on

At this moment I don't see the value and I rather reserve funds for other potential opportunities. We are still so early in the Farcaster ecosystem and with so many uncertainties, I think holding off on funding external priorities is a better bet. Allowing us to grow our ability to launch larger chunk of capital for the right internal opportunity.

This would help improve our influence on the direction of BuilderDAO

I think it will be valuable for Purple to have an active and official voice in the governance of BuilderDAO.

This isn’t on mission enough for me to cast a for vote and not far enough away to warrant casting an against vote.

Believe we should have some say in the Governance that our DAO is running on.

This prop furthers our mission because - short term, it drives up Purple token's utility by offering BuilderDAO governance via proxy at 10-20 cents on the dollar. This will increase auction demand and create more inflow to our treasury. - long term, it de-risks Purple because BuilderDAO builds products that our DAO literally can't live without (for now). While individual members can hold these tokens, it's not a replacement for Purple as an organization to have a voice in BuilderDAO

I do not think that this expense directly serves the Purple mission. We have to be willing to say "no" to things that are not core to the proliferation of the ecosystem. If this purchase goes through, we will need to spend a non-trivial amount of time evaluating BuilderDAO proposals and voting using the Purple token. It's a distraction and we should be very, very wary of distractions.

Understanding we rely on BuilderDAO to operate, I don’t think this moves us towards our goal of expanding the Farcaster ecosystem.

Does this proliferate and expand the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem? No, not directly.
