I don't see the market scarcity manifesting in any good way. Anyone who is currently excessively self voting or delegating to bid bots is already locked up in SP which isn't trading on the markets. Adding an investor class lockup doesn't change any Steem scarcity as current users "flip the switch". It only could presumably influence Steem price by bringing in new investors who are coming in now on the prospect of sidestepping the original Proof of Brain mechanism of Steem. Essentially we'll be hoping for Steem price appreciation at the tradeoff of making 60-80% of Steem used exclusively for self voting. At that point I think the whole system fails.

Proof of brain as a standalone distribution mechanism has already failed. This idea suggests a hybrid approach to visibly distinguish the returns from PoB from passive income, so those who want to participate in the PoB don't get discouraged by drowning in the rest.
