Here's something worth thinking about: if an organization is primarily funded by the government, labeling it as an "NGO" (non-governmental organization) doesn't quite add up. The whole point of the NGO designation is that it operates independently from government control and funding. When government money is the main revenue source, you're essentially describing a government-funded entity—not a non-governmental one. It's more accurate to call it what it actually is. This matters, especially in Web3 communities where governance structures and organizational transparency are becoming crucial. Getting the terminology right helps everyone understand where resources and decision-making power actually come from.

Government-funded NGOs are just government departments wearing a disguise, to put it bluntly, it's just a name change to continue to play people for suckers. Web3 is all about transparency, and this kind of behavior of hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat should really be thoroughly investigated.

Haha, this is a typical "change the name and you can deceive people" trap, right? The government and the big financial backers have it all covered and still have the nerve to call it non-governmental? To put it bluntly, it's just a guise of an NGO to continue to Be Played for Suckers.

Isn't this just a rebranded government department? How can they even call themselves an NGO? It's laughable.
