This is a complex topic and one that will not easily find a lot of friends among the people that have already build their business here. If this proposal will get through, it has to be successful, meaning the price of HIVE had to go up significantly. Because a way back - increasing the inflation - will not be an option on (still) low HIVE prices. The best idea may therefore be to time a move like this in an uptrend (when regularly nobody is thinking about a step like that). As it looks like the HIVE price is influenced by a lot more forces as its inflation, we may be unlucky and time it into a BTC correction or into news that the SEC is strongly calling for regulations of utility tokens or whatever can happen what we are not aware of yet.
On the other hand, there are several possibilities to earn on other tokens in the communities and for the onboarding of new users, enough HIVE and RC-account tokens may already be around. For the "masses" that we expect to join every other day, we only have to manage expectations. In summary, I am more in favour of the idea but see also some risks. The main problem is to find enough stake voting for this kind of proposal...
