Why not simply keep a week's worth of powerdown in savings rather than power it up?
I answered this in the OP:
Just be more responsible!
There's also an argument to be made that no one should be powering up 100% of their funds to begin with. We should always have some liquid in case the price spikes and we want to sell a little. In theory, sure, but 90%+ of people in the world are bad with money, so that's just not a realistic expectation.
Again, this change would only move the 13 week powerdown to 12, so I feel like you haven't addressed my post and are instead referring to the many comments here saying to remove it entirely or reduce to 4 weeks. Seems like we are the only two people on the platform that enjoy the long powerdown... besides the devs/stakeholders that are actually in charge.
Yeah. I guess asking the question was a weird way of agreeing with the statement.
And yeah my response is just an addition to the entire debate that has taken place over the years. I rarely give a direct response to any post. Something triggers a thought process so I just throw it down and people can look at me weird all they want. heh
There are businesses, communities, projects and so on here. They all took more than 13 weeks to build. They're on a strong foundation as well. Pull the rug out and we're fucked. Everyone. 4 weeks for a second layer makes sense. If one building collapses the city still stands.
And it's worth mentioning. Hive isn't anti-speculator or some shit like that. You buy some HIVE. That's secure. Then the speculator can go fuck around with all the opportunities on chain. No different than buying Bitcoin, that's secure (enough), then go flip some shit coins.
