Well, I am not sure if we do have a solution to this very important situation that we are currently facing.
But would like to share a suggestion that popped into my mind while reading the post

Statement - In total we are currently 79 280 users on the platform. From this only 4675 people were active yesterday and 13 807 people were active in the last 7 days. In my mind all 79 280

Based on the above statement, it clearly shows that not even 10% of registered users were online in the past 24 hours.

I feel people should be rewarded for participating and being active in the community and not for creating accounts and keeping it dormant. So instead of paying interests for the STEEM/STEEM POWER of the inactive accounts, this should be distributed to people who actually spend quality time on the platform.

Interests paid should keep on decreasing for the time they have spent away from the community and accounts which haven't been active for past 7 days shouldn't be paid interest at all. By doing this we would be encouraging the community to participate and be active.

Again taking reference to the above figures, so when the STEEM interests are accumulated for 79280 registered accounts but are distributed among only 13807 users who were active for past 7 days would mean we are creating a middle class who is actually happy spending some time over here and are worthily being rewarded for it.

This is just my suggestion and may have its own downside as well, but just thought of sharing it with fellow steemers. Let me know how you feel about it.
