Lower vote values are just a temporary thing I hope. I am closing in on 2000 SP soon, I really did not think I would ever see that when I started, but it is getting closer to a reality. The funding will grow, and the more that is held for now the faster it will grow, but at some point in time it will need to be used, but hopefully when the time comes to spend, the accounts can get by on just the liquid parts of the rewards, and continue to grow.
