Thanks for explaining.
Like I said I'm not an economist but I'm trying to expand my knowledge of such things. Having spoken to other people too - it seems the likely impact is smaller than I imagined.
Further as suggested by @tombstone the impact could be reduced further by reducing or eliminating the interest.
I had also underestimated the PR effect and attention that SD brings in terms of outside interest from non-crypto people. I think it is sometimes easy to get stuck in your own perspective and I am used to fluctuating values with BTC etc.
Merry Christmas!
