I suspected a month ago that witness governance could reduce the HBD APR. That is required in order to keep the value of HBD. If the 20% APR could have enticed investors, it would have been great, but nothing spectacular, and if it is decreased to 15% or 10%, I believe it will be fine.
My piece about how I believe HBD interest will decrease soon

We are in a bear market ... all we're going to do bringing that interest down is removing a competitive advantage just in time for the next bull.
