NO. It is a bear market, there are 11,000 of us, and people are surviving through three years of Covid and economic downturn because of Hive and singing Hive's praises in the world, and you want to lower curation rewards AND mess with the interest? In a bear market, in which NOTHING Hive does is going to raise major interest until the Bitcoin halving? NO. Do you READ the stories of people who have paid medical bills, obtained life-saving resources, changed their neighborhood businesses to prosperity in a BEAR MARKET here on Hive, and you want to mess with that when all we have to do is leave it alone and by the bull, people coming and having reasons to invest will come from every place?

By the way: I am a crypto investor as well as a regular creator here. I happen to know: the next bar for stablecoin interest has a marketing team and even has people talking about it on Hive, and that bar is already at SIXTEEN PERCENT. HBD beats that, but GUESS WHAT? Lower that to 15 percent IN A BEAR, and see what happens to that HBD people are happily leaving here while going about their business on and off Hive. As an investor, SIXTEEN beats FIFTEEN every day. Lower posting rewards at the same time and see what happens to the mere 11,000 daily posters you have left as the word gets around that the big stakeholders have figured out how the rich get richer and the poor stay poor on Hive just like everywhere else. IN A BEAR, in which we are BARELY hanging on as it is, but all we have to go is focus on getting Hive's story out in time of the halving -- but instead we want to take more from those that keep this place looking fresh and alive, versus web2 and its BILLIONS OF USERS?
