It was said in one of the next two hard forks. No idea if they can get it in the upcoming one.
The who is likely the Blocktrades team.
As for the notion of interest on HBD versus HIVE investment, I disagree. They are two completely different asset classes. People, for the most part, do not invest in speculation assets for an APR like a fixed income asset. If there is an APR, it is from price appreciation.
You can have an APR on HIVE of 12% but if the price declines 50%, you have a loss. The same is not true fixed income products that pay an interest and return the funds at maturity.
As for the tight on the blockchain, that seems to be the general rule of thumb among those developing the blockchain code.
Streamlines base layer and the rest on sidechains.
Thanks for your informative reply, I always appreciate the interaction.
Nice to know that the Blocktrades team is likely working on getting Time Vaults in our Base layer "soon". Looking forward to that and Bonds and whatever anyone else does on Layer 2 with the new Time Vaults infrastructure.
Have a great day! :)
Also, increasing APR according to your wealth is the perfect recipe for extreme wealth inequality in a corrupt plutocracy
