This should genuinely be looked at when considering HBD APR. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@lordbutterfly/re-bitcoinflood-rzywcu
But lets see what he has to say. Maybe he responds.
@lazy-panda would you please share your thoughts if the high HBD APR was a factor in you choosing to place your capital into Hive? What do you think about the witnesses discussing a reduction in HBD APR and how would that affect your future actions. Would it? Do you think we can attract more investors from, Steem for example, by maintaining the high APR?
as the debt ratio is still under 10%, it will be definitely wrong decision if APR is cut down by 8% or more...
Appendix : Not only from Steemit, but, I guess a lot of investors and traders from different platforms will attract to Highers APR of HBD staking.
Maybe if we could prove the APR is indeed bringing in investors, or some ideas were shared on how we could do it more effectively, it could sway decisions towards maintaining it.
I def dont believe it should drop anywhere near 8% if indeed any APR drop actually happens. Right now we are solid at 20% based on witness feeds.
