the more of a market place there is the less people will want to exchange for FRNs 
buying and selling durable goods should help the Steem economy too.

50/50 reward split and token burns sounds like a plan let's do it!

How about burning all the rewards from posts that decline the rewards.  I'm guessing that would have to be changed with a fork.  Or maybe add a burn option in the post settings...  Steempeak has done an awesome job at other stuff.  What do y'all think?  @asgarth, @jarvie, @r00sj3, @dmytrokorol

What a great idea!

If only all of these “new interface” owners would actually put some minimal effort into *improving* on the Steemit.com design/features. Why was this not one of your goals from the beginning? 

*What are you guys waiting for?*

Also...

**_Maybe convince STINC to burn what remains of their ninja-mine instead of diluting all other stakeholder influence with your new delegation system._**

Talk about something making a huge difference. There it is. Remember when you were once for that? Before you were given control over their SP?

whenever possible try to burn SBD first to get out of the haircut

How do you think we can affect anything price wise while Steemit is dumping hard?

Don't get me wrong. I don't mind them dumping. I just don't want to piss against a hurricane ;)

I would love to have "promoted" post spot in condenser. Like 3rd spot in the post list would always feature post from promoted section. The more you burned, the higher chance to be displayed you have (esch page view is s new chance). It can be tested in tribes condenser first, then implemented on steemit.

Probably I should add steem bounty for it :)

I like the idea of fiat token sinks where people who want fiat instead of going to exchanges can use a sink that pays out in their local currency but in doing so burns a portion or all that steem I means it’s leaving the crypto space technically! This makes for scarcity but also enforced the fact that the Steem you sell now you’re getting on the cheap and future steem will be way more valuable! It should be almost a punishment or counter intuitive to exchange Steem for fiat!

@aggroed, Great to see that you are trying to encourage new **Ideas💡** to bring value to **Steem**. And when someone says that i am ready to provide the guidance then that's the boosting aspect. Keep up brother.

I agree that having some burn mechanics would go a long way already to stabilize the Steem price. This still doesn't solve the issue that there is little to no reasons to power up and hold a lot of SP these days (at least for average users). When I started on Steem a few years back, you really needed SP to do better on the platform. Right now with all the upvotes coming from the Dapps & Tribes (Steemmonsters, Actifit, Drugwars, esteem, 3Speak, Dtube, PAL, SPORTS, ...) there is almost no difference to how much Steem you can earn/mine between having 100SP which gives you all the RC you need and having 10k SP. 

<b>How about this for an idea</b>: <i>If all the DAPPS linked their upvotes directly to the SP someone has giving bigger upvotes to bigger SP holders in a fair way there would be an actual reason to power up and at the same time cut out a lot of abuse since it's easy to just make a new account and start farming all the free dapp upvotes. I honestly want to power up more but I see no reason currently and all I see is people powering down and dumping their steem for steemmonsters cards, different steem-engine tokens, ...</i>

Looking at the numbers there seems to be a connection between dapps / tribe tokens and the price of Steem that continues to go down. What Steem needs is good reasons to hold SP along with some systematic burning mechanics it could do wonders for the STEEM price getting it back into a positive spiral.

Dear @aggroed

Great read.

> Eth has better price and is terrible to use because every transaction has a burn.

I've been wondering for quite sometime already - why transactions on steem blockchain need to be 100% free. Nothing is ever free. We're paying for things in form of hidden taxes or hidden costs.

The fact that Steemit Inc is selling that much steem every month to cover their expenses is a result of this "marketing slogan" about free transactions.

I would rather like idea of each transaction above 1 STEEM be charged with some low fee, knowing that those tokens collected in form of fee will be burned.

That would surely lower steem selling pressure.

> So, I'm counting someone burning somewhere will mean someone else being forced to buy. This might be wrong, but thus far it's my general experience.

To some degree. The fact that someone is burning doesn't yet mean that there will be more buying power (someone else forced to buy).

At the same time total daily rewards are probably always way higher than tokens burned. So circulating supply will be constantly growing faster and faster. Can burning catch up with it? I'm seriously curious.

> For Advertising I'd like to see all the front ends start having ads that display, but you have to burn Steem to get the ad.

I LOVE THAT IDEA! I would love to be able to pay for ads with STEEM or PAL. Promoting does work very well already. This could work even better.
