Most of the analysis was actually Hive account@anyx, but I've been jumping in and responding to comments on and off :)

To give some point by point answers:

1. This isn't always the case, some BPs aren't selling EOS to fund their operations, they are already funded by other means.
2. This is true, and this topic isn't meant to address that factor of centralization. It's meant to exclusively speak towards inflation and centralization, no other topics.
3. Same with #2 - this isn't set out to fix the problem of vote buying. We agree, it's an undesirable situation, but this isn't meant to solve it.
4. I think I agree - in that there's a need to reward those who provide value into the system yet are not producers themselves. There are so many great teams in the space building awesome applications, that are almost as critical as the operation of the network itself. We're writing out a few more posts to explore alternative ideas on how we could accomplish this.
5. The problem here is that not everyone who provides value to a blockchain should actually be a block producer. Block production is a technical and political job, one which not every organization deserving of rewards is capable of. This last point of providing a worker pool for funds addresses that concern, but again, this isn't the focus of this post. This post addresses inflation and centralization.
6. This is where REX steps in to some degree, but in general, I tend to agree with some way to incentivize voting. A perfect solution hasn't been presented yet though!

As a conclusion, it is agreed that community members need to understand how inflation model can change the degree of centralization of the system in middle and long term. Rewards via inflation to different contributors parties to the system should be promoted from my point of view. Then the system will be more fair and decentralized further. By the way, we start to vote Greymass for almost 10 months. We hope that you can keep going and raise out the weakness of EOS in order to make EOS stronger.

100% - we had hoped that our efforts in writing this thought piece would help get others thinking about the bigger picture happening within EOS. With comments like yours, I think we've succeeded to some degree!

We really do appreciate the votes, especially all along the way during this 10 month journey. So thank you, both for your thoughts and kind words.
