If participants faild to be one of the 21 supernodes, he will definitely sell all its EOS. There are more than 50 nodes to run for supernodes, as EOS decrease the inflation rate to 1%, so there will be two side effects: 1. users' EOS's value will potentially decrease 1% every year. 2. 1% is not enough for supernode investment, in the situation that no other buyers are willing to push EOS higher, the supernodes will not gain as they expected, such will suffer the entire ecosystem.
Whether or not sell them straight away is not important, the selling pressure still there. We just need to consider buyer/seller number, so which one do you think should be larger?
Platforms can evolve, the strongest can still be strongest, because so many people are holding tokens in ETH platforms, it's not easy to transfer to other platforms. New Dapps may want to try EOS, but it's more risk than ETH. Comparing to ETH, one should believe a decentrilized platform or a centralized platform?
The technology behind high TPS should not achieved by centralize 21 super nodes. That's not innovation. You can use even less computers to achieve more TPS, so from technology's point view, it's just a seeming decentralize community but with a centralized cloud computing, it’s just like google have computers in different locations. The supernodes will act together as one unity to rape users.
