I think it's important to consider the effect this will have on Airdrops. Currently, at a decently high SPS rate (c.0.60) it is very lucrative for people to either hold DEC or use liquidity pools to divide their assets. If SPS continued to decline, it would be less enticing for people to hold DEC since the net value of their airdrop is significantly lower in USD.
Something to consider.
