I think a better idea to increase the short term perceived value of STEEM Power would be to drastically increase the interest paid to those who hold STEEM power. I think it's the more prudent of the choice between evils and it's the best use of the shareholders' capital.
Or proportionally reward long term holders with more STEEM POWER, similar to IRA vesting with an employer.
@steemquestions I would agree with this proposal because it creates a greater perceived value of STEEM and a reason to power up. Currently no such compelling reason exists.
