Thank you @dove11 for your time and reading my post. I agree 25% for everyone is definitely a big chunk and of course, many who earn much would not be happy to loose, but as you say something less than 5% and for everyone can make its difference because then it is a large amount of posts and also a large amount of Steem will be taken off from circulation.

Of course, there are other ways to make Steem attractive but we are talking about those marketing and mass onboarding, large investors for last 5 years and I am a bit doubtful that it magically work.

Who knows in what direction Steem will go, we will see if any productive idea will be born from all the discussion here.

I would like to thank you for your valuable feedback and would like to wish you Happy New Year!
