Call it a negative feedback if you like, but it's also positive feedback when the price goes up

100% agree, this is why I think we should keep and even increase interest rates, but instead use profits from the DAO to build a treasury which will be used to burn HBD when it's needed.

If that treasury can generate 50% APY returns on top of that, it would be even better.

Let's recycle all the HBD without taking anything away from the DAO, only use the extra HBD to build the treasury. Even if we end up losing those, Hive stakeholders would have lost nothing.

And they will be very useful in hard times.
