Do you see how right now (since they've announced this) DEC has been collapsing in value while vouchers are up? DEC has dropped 20% since this announcement. That's the market telling you everything you need to know. If this passes, people are going to trade in their vouchers (not dec) for DEC-B. That means at the end of this we're going to still have almost all of the dec we have now but we'll also have 2 billion DEC-B sloshing around. This will make DEC less valuable. Not more.

But let's say for a second this doesn't happen and its 1.6 billion dec that gets burned. We still have 4.7 billion dec in circulation and now we have another 2 billion dec-b. Over the next year or so, if you're holding DEC and want to use it for some purpose that burns it, you'd be dumb not to go sell that dec and buy DEC-B on the secondary market and pocket the difference. DEC-B will be just a little cheaper than Dec due to its lesser features but it burns the same. So no one is going to be burning anymore DEC until DEC-B is gone. So what did they really accomplish other than adding 400 million DEC-B to a system that would still be sloshing in DEC?

And there is still 25-30 million DEC bring printed each month.

This is just a gift to the people who own all the node licenses who now have 50-80k vouchers and nothing to do with them. This is just a move to appease them so they don't sell. THis is why concentration of ownership is such a problem. THey'll hurt the whole economy to make sure a few people don't sell because those people own so much they would destroy the economy by leaving.
