Do you say native tokens implemented as smart contracts? Or do we need something in the base layer?

I agree with blogging to become a 2nd layer token. I wonder what should be done with the reward pools currently at HIVE. As per your suggestion, reduce inflation I suppose. Somehow I think some available funds from inflation should be used to further increase the proposal system. That said, the whole proposal system needs further development, including additional governance, more transparency to where the money goes to, more reporting by those who receive the funds and more. The whole idea is that those who don't have a lot of time to go through all the information and situations, can easily and quickly make an more informed decision. Added to that, this bucket of money shall be used for serious HIVE ecosystem expansion, including support for non-tech proposals.
