It's refreshing to see a bold ambition for HBD to become the most lucrative stabel coin for staking. So I've spent most of the weekend reading the thoughts of others here and giving my own input in the conversation where it is taking place.
My intention is to also raise it for our witness (@steempress), but I always demand of myself to do independent "what if" analysis before signaling it. I think if we want to make the most of it, then it should go hand in hand with a wholehearted effort to also communicate the change and promote HBD.
There is always a risk of rising the rate, but then again, there is also a lot of risk in standing relatively still in a fast-moving space. Will share my thoughts and likely increase our own signal soon.
Looking forward to reading your input and ideas for it man.
Yeah I think it's a fantastic marketing ploy for the blockchain as a whole and will attract some eye balls. Everyone seems to think we can sustain it. I personally would love to see a way for long term 'stakers' of HBD to get that APR while the '3 day power down' people have a lower rate. Might help lock in some stability.
