Good idea, but we can't reduce inflation to 1/8th in single HF that would cause a havoc. Instead we can reduce 1-2% every 6 month or 1 year. That will have long-term effect. We also need more trading pairs for Hive as well HBD with ETH. Also we need to consider, a lot part of inflation is coming from HBD conversions, So if we have more trading pairs of HBD then may be it can be controlled or just reduce or remove HBD rewards.
We are in desperate need of delegation pools as well more User friendly UI. Bee chat is a good step combined with peakd. We need peakd or another UI to cover and make EASY UI for users. Overall onboarding and use concept is still difficult to understand for a normal person. We need to make it Easy.
Hive even doesn't show up on google search, we need to do something about it. Hive.io and hive.blog need to be SEO optimized to be appeared on top 5 results. because when people search hive, it shows hive blockchain technology company instead of us. There is a lot of things we need to do, a lot of development.
