I think this is a really good thing. If you look at some of the proposals, they aren't too far off from making it above the return even with the Blocktrades vote. This might force them to rethink their current proposal and adjust it to get the support they need. Either that or redouble their efforts looking for votes. I think this is also a good way for them to consider who they support. If they support users who are dumping their rewards every chance they get (I'm looking at you valueplan), then that is wasted stake that could push them above the threshold.

absolutely!
Let the projects lobby for support from individuals. Most of the projects don't even know 95% of the individuals, and 95% of the individuals do not know the projects.
It would be interesting to see how many accounts with large enough stake to move the needle are not voting on an proposals. When you are talking 62 million, being a couple million short doesn't seem like too much unless you figure 80% of the chain only holds 10,000 or less shares right? I just made up those numbers to try and make a point.
Something to consider is that my account holds considerably less than 10k staked Hive (<7k), but I have seen it is ~1500 in terms of stake weight on the platform. That surprised me quite a bit.
It's based on rshares I think. I don't remember the exact conversion.
In my mind, things will self adjust with time. Projects that can convince more people to vote will get funded, those that can’t, won't get funded. It's rather simple.
I guess we will see, unless BT decides to suddenly change course.
