I kind of agree with @ats-david, Hive inflation should be reduced (cut 20-25% from rewards, 30-50% from top 20 witnesses, remove DAO inflation, burn downvoted rewards, reduce power-down to 1 months (add an option for instant power-down, but 10% is burned )...). This could boost the Hive price.

P.S. Where could I get a Slack invite?
