Hi @carlos84

Why instead of burning the steem obtained, we use it to make powerup in the community account of project.hope?

It is interesting solution Carlos. Im only concerned, that it would limit entire initiative to people who are part of project.hope.

Somehow I can easily imagine that even people who are not part of our community would get involved - but only if they see that there is buy-back and burn process happening. Otherwise, if they would know that entire process is making one person (or one project) earn money from their efforts ... that could discourage many.

Is my line of thinking making any sense?

What I don't like about burning steem is that it may not have the positive effect we are looking for which is to raise the price, because while we all together as a team contribute to burn steem, maybe on the other hand they continue to sell more, and our that burning end up benefiting others.

You have a good point here. There is a real risk that no efforts of all people promoting steemit, bringing new users and trying to create pockets of demand .. that it will all have no impact.

We may also have developers building games and it may also serve no purpose. Because like you said - others may be selling their tokens.

So we must ask ourselfs a question: do we believe that we can bring value to STEEM blockchain and try to do it. Or do we believe that steem is DOOMED either way.
At least that is how I see it.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Please let me know if my line of thinking is making sense to you?
