I was debating starting a new leaf with the cost reductions, since the old data makes things look worse than they are, but I decided to leave it in, after all, it is part of DAO history. Nevertheless, the effect of the cost reductions can be felt, but in numbers, the DEC price has gone about by about 14% since the cost reductions went in effect. We don't know yet how much of it is positive sentiment and how much is buybacks, as the amount of buybacks were not disclosed yet.
What we do know is, that about 1.35b DEC was sold through the credits system since the DAO took over, an average of 14.7m a day, which is an increase of about 1m since the last report. In contrast the avg daily inflow went to about 5.7m which is a very strong increase by 2.3m since the last report. So why still more DEC flows out than comes in based on business, we saw, for the first time since tracking, a decrease in the average daily DEC spending to about 9m a day. That would be about 2,5k USD which would have to be used for buybacks to break even, let's keep this in mind, as well as that the actual buybacks were not disclosed yet.
Considering avg credit sales are relatively stable at 4m a day, so 4k USD worth, the DAO is only losing about 500 USD a day. Considering we probably don't buy back more DEC than USD coming in (again we don't know yet) I would expect that we simply buy back less, which would lead to a DEC loss of 1.8m a day, which is 200k less than 2 weeks ago. So, we reduced our losses by about 10% and are closer to profitability with the DAO, but not there yet. Either way, this is good news in 2 ways. First, it means that despite more DEC entering circulation the price goes up, which is good news. Second, it means that the DEC runway is well beyond 2 years which should easily get us to the next set.

Nothing new, burning still is about 1m a day, is still a luxury item that does absolutely nothing for the price
The TL:DR:
