I disagree about the fact that content is not supposed to bring value to the platform.

I agree about the benefits of the currency completely on its own merits. I think STEEM has BTC beat, except for the level of adoption and use.

Changes to the curation rewards would not be touching the "purely currency" aspects of the coin, but I do agree with the sentiment that making changes to the rules adds a big layer of uncertainty to current and potential future investors.

That said though, I don't think that that reason alone should prevent us from making necessary changes to the blockchain that are going to make it better in the long run at this stage of the game.
