**Summary**

- Tomi Astikainen is the only Polkadot Ambassador in Finland.
- He has been working to build a local Polkadot community on a voluntary basis.
- Tomi organized a Polkadot Decoded Viewing Party and encouraged others to become Ambassadors.
- He appeared on the Hopium Podcast, the first Finnish media to discuss Polkadot.
- The podcast preparation and recording took about ten hours.
- Tomi is seeking a tip of 50 DOT (5 DOT per hour) for his work.
- He believes that media representation and community activation efforts should be incentivized.
- Vote "Aye" to support his learning and efforts in promoting Polkadot.

The proposal is for the Polkadot community to tip the author 50 DOT for their work as the only Polkadot Ambassador in Finland, including an eight-hour preparation and two-hour recording for a Finnish language podcast about crypto and blockchain. The reasoning is that those who represent Polkadot in the media and initiate important conversations should receive incentives.
