I witnessed some of the initial growth of Polkadot Americas and the initiative seemed to have a lot of potential. I was even invited to participate in several of their live streams at one point. Some of the team members were very active and dedicated. However, as of now this activity seems to have slowed down and the streaming seems to have stopped, as well as activity on the telegram group.

My current questions are:

• what is your plan moving forward and/or have you decided to stop all activities until funding is obtained?
• have you considered requesting USDT/USDC instead of DOT?
• have you considering coming to a platform such as AAG to present your proposal?

Hello Florentina, great to hear from you! And of course, you witnessed the growth of the community. For the moment, we have paused the streams since planning and executing the programs requires effort, time, and funding. However, the Telegram group remains active, with its natural highs and lows in participation.

•	Our activities, such as the weekly programs, will resume next week. The past month was a short break to focus on submitting this proposal and waiting for the results.
•	We chose the DOT token since several members of the proposal prefer to hold DOT instead of USDT.
•	We will be presenting at AGG next week, and we are currently waiting for feedback and comments from the community.
