Isn't it time to step down and let someone competent control the donated funds?
Who would that be, and how much should they be paid 
With the kind of money we are talking about (over 1,000 btc), you could hire any auditor like Deloitte and Touché, for maybe a single bitcoin a year.
That's basically like an accountant, right? They're not supposed to be in charge of operations.I don't think handing over decision making to a large corporation would make the forum any better.

That sounds just like another buzz-word mostly used by DeFi-scams. I'd leave this forum if it turns into some dynamic moving site where algorithms decide what I get to read.
