The current powerdown time is also discourage new investors to stake.
Most importantly it discourages most of our HIVE community members to power-up.
I strongly believe that exchanges have too much money that 13 weeks or 5 weeks makes no difference for them.
Somewhere between 5 - 10 weeks staking is what I wanted to see
4 or less is good. you twisted my arm so ok, I'll settle for 5 :)
