As a wrote 5% was intended and it was a good idea. I am sure you remember it liondani.

5% is perfect for so many reasons!

Maybe I should emphasize that with a daily budget from the pool of 25,000 bts we can give 10% interest and with a daily budget of 50,000 we can give 20% interest on bitasset holders. We can always adjust those numbers in the pool reserve benefit once the supply of bitassets increases. Think of this like that since there are not many bit.assets into existence yet , the interest you receive is higher since many people may see this as risky and once the supply of bit.assets increases the interest earned gradually decreases..
Also not everyone want to receive bit.assets. Imagine marketting wise saying to people that if they convert their btc to bitbtc they will receive interest in the form of Open.btc which is very easily and converted back 1:1 to polo.btc or bitstamp .btc etc and also the bit.btc historically is above the peg by 5% - 10% or more and that by default they can always convert their bit.btc back to the feed price within 24 hours if they want and convert it back to polo.btc or whatever btc they want..
