The top 20 accounts are taking 50% of the inflation, day after day, year after year, anything that monkey wrenches that treadmill is better than letting the stake continue to concentrate to those that already have game breaking amounts.
Who plays a game they are guaranteed to lose?
Who provides exit liquidity to a game that will never change who is in a position to profit from playing?

Better to burn hive than to let it continue to feed the problem, imo.
