Yes .... in general that would be the preferred scenario. Release SMT and cut/remove the reward pool for author/curators on the base token.
Although I would still want some HIVE distributed trough PoB, just for legacy :). Maybe some small share.
But at the moment, looks like we have enough funds in the dev fund, with no reason for inflation going there.
Having a conservative, “investor friendly” base token is key. We can then let the individual SMTs run wild and if they crash and burn then it is no harm no foul against the chain as a whole.
