I really like you comment @laonie and although I don't agree with everything said, finally someone who understand how this all thing can really work long-term from investment PoV. There are some things:
- Three months SP is ok, it is like fix term deposit providing some bonuses to a holder and helps to avoid the worst kind of daily volatility. It's optional, it has its added-value and restrictions, seems to be fair to me. It also helps to identify long-term non-daily trading holders.
- I partially agree here. Still I think there should be author rewards also from investor money but much less, like 10% of newly created Steems only. It would mean like ~1% of investment goes to rewards. That will not harm investments (with huge money outflow) and will provide some reward for authors without crashing funding development, improvements and growth.
- I believe any content can find its readers, let's just provide a better selection, categorization and filters so anyone can find what he likes avoiding the rest. We also need good social features and decent advertisement content support.
