> I would like to ask a question: is goal of this proposal of having more yield exposure for GHO holders to yield, or for AAVE to have a role in “save the current DeFi situation” because Curve is too big to fail?

two birds one stone. 2M USDT is not much on a 55M debt and definitely on itself doesn’t change much except sending a signal of support.

on the other side, I’m personally convinced that 6 months from now, the CRV value will be either 0/a few cents OR much higher than the price of the current proposal.  
This strategic acquisition allows diversification from balancer and helps GHO that is the strategic focus for the Aave DAO now.  
Every investment has a conviction part.

@lmihaylov this is outside the topic of the current proposal, if you have an opinion on this, feel free to express it here : [Post Vyper Exploit - CRV Market Update and Recommendations](https://governance.aave.com/t/post-vyper-exploit-crv-market-update-and-recommendations/14214/) Please stick to the topic of current proposal.
