so, to be clear, this vote is to make splinterlands markets less efficient, making splinterlands assets less liquid and valuable. and the primary justification is that it will help remove DEC from circulation and get us closer to the flywheel?

this proposal just seems flawed from the get go.

imagine this proposal just said "everyone has to donate X DEC to the DAO, so we can get closer to the flywheel effect"

the function of forcing this to happen, just happens to serve the purpose of obfuscating what is really happening, while making markets less efficient, and splinterlands assets less valuable to purchase.

I suppose there is the value that there is only a 1 percent decrease in efficiency of the market, while there is 2 percent going to the DAO, and in theory we all kind of have some say about how the DAO spends its assets. but that isn't a reason to do it, that is just a mitigation of the harm.

I'm not much of a whale or anything, so i dont move the needle a whole bunch, but i'm thrilled to vote against this proposal. maybe this is more attractive to whales whose marketplace fees are insignificant compared to the amount of influence they have over the DAO or something.

there are better ways to encourage DEC consumption, that dont hurt the community and splinterlands assets so much.
