RE: SBD is broken, why not just remove it?
I gave also two other reasons: nobody is using it in commerce and paying rewards denominated in dollars distorts users perception of their success on the platform.
There are many reasons why this has not happened on a larger scale yet, but just because there isn't a large STEEM/SBD economy right now isn't a reason to scrap the SBD token.
As I wrote in my post about this - we shouldn't be reactionary to short-term issues. We need to think long-term.
Also - there isn't much commerce...yet. I'll have an announcement this week that will hopefully start moving things in the right direction.
So how the long-term thinking is showing right now? I see only dreaming. There is no real vision, no actionable steps towards it.
Long-term thinking means that there is a clear goal and people are working to achieve it.
You're assuming that people are not working to achieve any commerce goals. I think that's the problem here.
I think everybody can see it pretty easily: so far basically nothing has been done.
If you're still looking to support commerce, here's something you can get behind. It's what I alluded to a few days ago.
