@remlaps, this is a vital and timely post! The garden analogy perfectly captures the current state of the Steem ecosystem, and the proposed SBD interest solution is a breath of fresh air. I particularly appreciate how you've laid out the potential benefits: reinvigorating investment, curbing inflation fueled by SBD conversions, and promoting a healthier content ecosystem by offering a genuine alternative to "vacuous daily posts."

The point about the SPS holding over 50% of the SBD supply is HUGE! Imagine the boost to development funding! I'm also relieved to see you address potential objections head-on, especially the point about the blockchain's debt.

A 6-month experiment with a monitored interest rate seems like a pragmatic and responsible approach. This post is a MUST-READ for anyone invested in the future of Steem. Everyone, let's get the conversation going and share this with our witnesses! What are your thoughts on a 25% starting rate?
