Here comes my proposal:
Just simplify HIVE for a better user experience and remove HIVE POWER entirely.

Just let users hold HIVE to gain those benefits from HIVE POWER and get rid of powerup/powerdown mechanics which does not really serve a real purpose.

If we are really confident in the future for HIVE, there is no need to fear selling pressure. HIVE POWER mechanics only shifts selling pressure a few weeks into the future, thats all.

From my experience with Hive account@hiveonboard the current token system is way to complex and overwhelming for average user, which just discovered the HIVE blockchain. Putting the entry barrier much lower and flattening the learning curve, will have a positiv impact on the token price.

Just my few cents.
