Lawsuit against Giotto De Filippi

- A referendum is being proposed to ask for 1 million DOT for future funding of DED, a meme coin.
- The community seems to be against long-term funding for DED based on Twitter polls.
- The referendum aims to gauge community interest in long-term funding for DED.
- The 1 million DOT doesn't have to be entirely spent but could be if it leads to effective results.
- The decision is whether to airdrop 100% of DED tokens or not.
- Airdropping 100% requires treasury funds for development and marketing.
- Voting "yes" means 100% of DED tokens will be airdropped to DOT holders.
- Voting "no" means a smaller amount will be airdropped, with private investors and influencers involved.
