I think my biggest issue here is the fact that the reduction in interest rate has little to do with any of that. It seems more like some kind of retaliation over what is happening with a few projects here. If the motives were pure, 15% is still a dang good ROI when compared to most real world investments.
Oh, no conspiracy theory? Can you elaborate?
As far as I understand it, it all ties back to the Splinterlands proposal in the DHF and some retaliatory witness voting.
And do you know how it why that's supposed to be connected to HBD APR?
? The witnesses who didn't support the proposal lost votes and the witnesses who did gained votes. Just so happens those same witnesses have their interest rate set lower.
That's hilarious, who comes up with shit like that?
There was definitely witness vote buying going on, that's been documented in posts and comments on chain. The rest I don't know, I'm not saying it's fake news though.
Of course people use their power and try to influence witnesses (and others). That's been happening since inception of the chain.
I'm just amused how a connection between the SPL proposal and HBD APR could be imagined, but the fantasy of conspiracy theorists is capable of anything.
Thank you for your witness vote!
Have a !BEER on me!
