[DAO: QmYZarq] Cap the # of POI on the map, and make them tradable NFT's

The original purpose of the 500k vp count for a POI proposal to get implemented was to limit the number of POI’s on the map, because a map that’s too cluttered is not useful.

Now the only projects who get POI’s are ones backed by whales. This isn’t consistent with the supposed ethos of DCL, and it’s not limiting the # of POI’s.

I propose putting a hard cap on POI’s, and make them into NFT’s so they are tradable on OpenSea and other marketplaces.

Another option would be to make them rentable like land, which might be more attractive in the long run.

Full disclosure: I was one of the last to get one before the 500k cutoff.

With delegation of votes increasing, it should become easier to get POIs. Having them become tradable and creating a commodity out of them I think would have entirely the opposite effect and empower whales even more who could monopolize the market on POIs should they desire to do so. That said I think the concern whales overall is slightly over inflated, but that is a different conversation.

Do we really want it to be easier to get a gold star on the map?
