As i am thinking more about this.
This type of conversation is coming from the older larger accounts on the chain(many different people) that feel it takes a lot of time / effort to maintain the size of their stake on the chain.
they are a little burnt out and would like to change the blockchain to protect their stake (early mover advantage everyone in every aspect of life does try to do the same thing). In a way that doesn't take as much effort.
so it does not bother me, but we should call it what it is and decide if that is the direction we want to go without hiding behind "it is a good investment" type of discussions.
