RE: Here's why Steem's witnesses should start paying SBD interest - today
At this point Everything we can add that may be attractive to investors I think is useful, and adding this APR to the SBD I think is a good addition and it is worth the attempt.
I think that giving real utility to the SBD can be quite positive and a good experiment to see if we bring more external capital to the platform.
This is the first step to expand the community, as I currently consider it unproductive to promote the platform and attract new users on a massive basis. Current users are receiving few rewards with their publications, attracting more users will only reduce the rewards that current authors receive, so I consider it necessary that we first try to attract more external capital from investors who first maintain their SBDs and then consider expanding their participation in the ecosystem using part of their profits/resources in content curation.
It's a good start, why not try it?
