Not a big fan of this and do not think it will make much difference on much at all. At least with the burn option, some steem would be burnt and there'd be some cost to PD and benefit to the community.
I also think there are other things to focus on.
It would make a difference. It would add to trading liquidity, it would be more enticing for investors to come in. I mean there are big ex investors here that openly said they ould consider returning with shorter powerdown times. So its in fact a change for the positive for them at least.
Then you add more liquidity that can be used more in Dapps.
Just look at the dapp ratings and how they measure activity. Steem makes you choose. Theres a million things that has been talked about.
The loss that incurs if you dont power up. Its just better for speculators to move on to another token.
The community that believes in steem that is powered up would participate more in trading which would add to volume... Those that believe in steem are more likely to buy back in which would add towards upward pressure instead of what we have now. Trading bots that follow Bitcoin.
Theres so much positive you could potentially see if powerdowns are shorter. .
Thanks
