I believe what we would have to do is end the passive gain of just having SP in the account. Ensure the people you receive are content curators, content creators, and people who run the nodes.
I believe that if we did that we would have a dump of the dormant accounts that only come in to sell inflation profits, but I believe that in the long run it would be much more beneficial to steem's blockchain
