Thanks @calumam for the mention and thanks for an excellent explanation as to why burning POB is not a good thing to do, at least not at this point in time.
Like many other topics, I have not had time to explain my thoughts in more detail. I am extremely happy being able to use part of my voting influence to upvote those who are articulating what I have as yet been unable to put into writing myself. This is one of those cases. (Although my perspective is less about voting influence per se and more about the need for liquidity and the need for widespread adoption of POB, both of which rely on MORE tokens being available to spread around and to facilitate exchange transactions.)
(NOTE: I also upvote content that I find provocative and/or interesting to the point that others should see it, even if I disagree with it. So never take an 'upvote' from me to mean agreement, unless I explicitly say so.)
I should start commenting when I support provocative stuff. It got me thrown under the bus a few times by guilty by association mind states.
I noticed this in your HIVE bio the other day when I was stalking your voting habits on hivestats, lol. An understandable approach, it also covers your back when it comes to autovoting.
From your own perspective of the need for liquidity, do you have any thoughts about how this could be achieved in a constructive way via the use of the @pob-fund or @proofofbrainio's liquid holdings (the liquid holdings raise some ethical questions like I mentioned in the post, I believe)?
