This is a very dangerous road we are going down.
I am all for using DAO funds for economic reasons but all we do here is put gasoline on ember.
I copied this from my comment in the #tokenomics section. Might be easier to read there:
Reasons for the "DEC to PEG flywheel" to fail and create a new Dilemma
1) guranteed offramp
In short, everyone that ever bought DEC will eventually know that 0.001025 is the absolute end of it.
the heavy lifting act of pushing DEC back to peg has to be made by player demand, speculators demand will be near zero.
I like to remind people that DEC has been below peg (roughly where it is now) prior to the SPS airdrop. The only real documented time where DEC stayed at peg or way above it was due to good market conditions and extreme speculators demand - not playerdemand.
The playerbase will not be able to lift and hold DEC at peg partly because DEC demand fluctuates with everyday operations and secondly because the speculators turn into scalpers from now on, buying DEC below 0.0009 and selling at 0.00099 going forward forever.
We eliminated a major demand source (speculation) and expect the playerbase to do something they haven´t been able to do in way better market conditions before. That is economical madness
2) overall inflation
my rough estimation is that there are currently 31.85M SPS handed out into the open market on a monthly basis according to the whitepaper. That translates to the following DEC equivalent at SPS prices
0.01 $ = 310M DEC
0.05 $ = 1.5B DEC
0.10 $ = 3.1B DEC
we bruned 410M DEC in the last 30 days with the big event we had. The 30 days before that we burned 70M DEC.
now there is no doubt that burning an entire month worth of SPS supply will increase the price of SPS, but we´re going to see a downward spiral afterwards.
DEC reaches peg eventually
People start burning SPS since it is profitable
DEC supply increases, which reduces DEC price
scalpers get in to buy DEC below 0.001
SPS burning stops, DEC slowly burns until demand outplays supply and we hit peg for a moment again
the system we have is not going to stabilize anything. It will be an exploit feast for bots. Not to mention that even if SPS goes back to 0.05 $, the DEC inflation is multiplied by 5.
What we do is change the status quo for a very unstable and fast changing enviroment where we make ourselfs even more dependend on good external factors. A market shock at the wrong time might lead to a thumbeling downfall of DEC just shortly after a massive new DEC supply has been created which will put us into the same situation we are trying to get out of right now
while on the other hand we limit positive external events by increasing the DEC supply exponentially with the SPS price. The exact same hyperinflation issue we had in 2021 where "markets gonna market" made us get into deep shit due to missing economic common sense
