That is precisely the issue, Steem is by nature inflationary. The inflation is set for the next 20 years, however, with more SBD being issued inadvertently, this propels the set rate of STEEM inflation in a way that issues debt burden to the supply of STEEM. Basically, more STEEM must be inflated into the supply than initially intended, throwing off the set rate of inflation and creating a liability to STEEM token that was not prepared for.
The solution to this: SBD must be exchanged internally, this is the only way to burn the token and remove it from circulation. Essentially, we need to remove ~6M SBD from circulation this way in order to get it back to status quo. This would elleviate the strain on the inflation of STEEM and curb the unnecessary inflation that is currently taking place. We also need SBD to be once again pegged to $1. The platform was designed for this peg to function in order for the STEEM token to grow as intended. Obviously, the lack of initiative by Steemit, Inc has greatly stunted the trajectory of tokens, as well as BTC volatility. I remain cautiously optimistic that through these mistakes there have been lessons learned.
