Reducing the Steem Power holding period to a minimum of three months.
in how many payouts people will have a possibility of withdrawing all SteemPower? Weekly... so that would give 12 weeks?
That would be only for newly allocated SteemPower, or... whether after those changes... all whales will be able to withdraw old SteemPower much quicker (that could cause even bigger dump)?
Bigger dumps are less painful than death by a thousand cuts (as is currently happens).
At least this way, whales that are disenchanted with the platform can put up (sell) or shut up. Rather than feeling trapped. Also I suspect many were powering down feeling they had nothing to lose (as inflation meant they had more STEEM in their accounts regardless if they powered down or not).
These proposals also gives those that may be interested in investing in the platform a chance to establish a good foothold, rather than be put off by the current perpetual dumping.
I liked the sentiment behind people having to hold STEEM long term to accrue the real benefits however the current crypto landscape is dominated by short term speculators (or at least people that want the option to cut and run should they need to). These proposals seem like a pragmatic compromise.
I don't think there are any changes proposed for the weekly power down schedule, just the number of weeks. I'd suggest 13 rather than 12 since it corresponds with one calendar quarter.
