@Cosmick777 @llildur It would be cool if I would not be treated as an enemy of the project. That would sincerely help. Note that there are very very few validators participating in governance conversations (I only see @paranormal and myself in here), let alone be critical on decisions taken by a team. Most validators are just voting “yes” blindly on everything, is that what you want? Do you think I would bother to have this conversation if I wouldn’t care about Persistence?
Also, do note that in the proposal around the inflation reduction I was already against it, mainly because it was too early (XPRT inflation reduction discussion - change the minimum inflation parameter to 6,25 - #4 by LeonoorsCryptoman). So it would be cool to be credited for that as well if you deem the reduction a wrong move.
Furthermore, I stated that I am running at a loss for now and I am ok with that, since I believe in the project and the change which will come when mainnet arrives. Ofcourse profit should be somewhere down the line, it does not necessarily have to be now.
I am also realistic, that people don’t buy assets anymore because of the staking APR. Those times are loooong gone, so passing this proposal simply does not solve the issue. You either have to be a meme-coin with a high potential payout on a short run OR you have to be a good utility asset. Persistence is in the 2nd category, so instead of having conversations around inflation changes (what this proposal is about) I rather talk about how we can turn things around and solve real problems.
