This is a over simplified attempt to apply economic theory to a system that has much more complexity than buying and selling commodities. Players need SPS to increase returns for winning ranked battles. The most immediate way to gain SPS using your own means is to either buy or rent. If the rental price increases the option to buy and own becomes more desirable. This should put upward pressure on the price of SPS which is what I would assume that the DAO would want. Raising the floor price from 0.001 to 0.003 will not decrease the desire to hold SPS. It may stop some from playing if they are unable raise funds to short term elevate their SPS holdings but generally the concerns of the penniless go unnoticed in the world of SPL.

It is my considered prediction that should this proposal gain traction the increased cost of renting would mostly be accepted without significant reduction in rental activity or measureable increase in the SPS price. I remain neutral to this proposal and do not advocate for or against it.
