It's a big step for those that take it, but I think the ecosystem will be better served.
It gives a target for new investors to shoot for while knowing that the early birds want to share with them, and not just dilute them as they exit.

If the 33 accounts with more than 1000mv voted their full 'entitlement' nobody would be playing this game, so it's not like they don't already exercise some constraint.

The question is do 'we' want to continue to circle these central points, or do we want the coin in more hands?

Do we want to attract newbs, or just payout those with the most until nobody buys in, anymore?

Clearly, after this many years, if their approach was going to attract those willing to build an audience here, we'd see some of those rather than most of the folks they favored having cashed out.

It's only a matter of time before the broader market figures out that we have no fees and all the features of nearly all the chains out there.
When that happens this drama will take a backseat to the rocket launch, imo.

We can thank Ned's capitulation that we don't already dominate the scene.
A little sticktoitiveness from that guy and he could now walk among us as a god.
But, nope.
