Lawsuit against Giotto De Filippi

- A referendum is asking for 1 million DOT to fund a project called DED.
- Many people on Twitter think the community does not want to support DED long-term.
- The referendum will help decide if DED should be funded for the future.
- Airdropping means giving away 100% of the DED tokens to DOT holders.
- If 100% of tokens are airdropped, we need to make sure we have money to help DED grow.
- Voting "yes" means all tokens go to DOT holders; "no" means some tokens will go to other investors and influencers.
- The person discussing this is not voting because they want to understand what the community thinks.
