I appreciate the stepping up to even talk about this however, it draws a lot of questions in my mind:
if BP's essentially control the supply, thus controlling price as demand rises (or falls), wouldn't it be immoral for BP's to even be allowed to sell (to make profit) ram? In my mind it's self-dealing in a sense. I would go out and venture to say that it might be even immoral to allow BP's to have side projects that require the use of ram. How far do we let BP's participate in the ecosystem? Meaning, maybe they should only allowed to produce blocks. Isn't that business enough? And important to maintain it's virginity as to not soil (self-deal) aspects of the community, such as ram? I'm a token holder, and in it for the long haul. And the above, at least in mind as it stands now, is a real potential criticism that should be nipped in the butt now, before those who are not pro-EOS start to figure this out and see how its an ask for corruption.
