Ok hear me out An AI trading bot that we seed-fund with a one-time community grant We let it loose on the altcoin and meme coin market, with some mid-risk parameters If initially successful (2–3x the seed), it first pays back the grants, but from there on, it keeps trading in perpetuity or until it runs out of cash (the contract will accept donations to be restarted if that happens) The twist? It then converts 20–30% of its profit to ETH every week and programmatically sends that to the burn address, and only reinvests the rest If it reaches escape velocity, it will become a perpetual, ever-growing source of burn / deflation alongside EIP 1559 Nobody profits except, indirectly, ETH hodlers

Why burn if we can donate to public goods? (Or at least split the amount into two parts, 50 burn, 50 protocol guild)

Some people want to see t̶h̶e̶ w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ ETH burn — there are already plenty of public good funding mechanisms, I like the idea of pushing the envelope with a nihilistic bot that converts gambling proceeds into entropy. I agree with your other point — the bot would likely get left holding the bags at the start of the next bear. Depending on the holdings, it could thaw and awaken again at the next season, though (imagine if it had been holding DOGE or XRP all those years), and resume its activities when everybody has forgotten about it
