I agree with you, that we need to wait and decide what to do with 5k ARB Leo later. No point in giving out them 10% for free.
I'm not sure though if we should have opened another pool. It might be good to have lbi:swap.btc pool only if we want to get BTC for future uses that VSC might provide. Holding swap.btc as a treasury is counterproductive because the liquidity of the market is poor and it's expensive. I tried using it, but ended up with @v4vapp instead as it was easier and cheaper
