Great post, thanks for the mention!

Another sink I thought of but don't love is to burn a percentage(let's say 2%) of the steem raised through ICO for an SMT. If there are huge ICOs like in 2017 this could be significant.

But it would also discourage people from doing ICOs using SMTs, which is why I don't like it.

Maybe we can make it optional, and some companies will use it as a marketing tool: if they burn steem, then the steem community will see them as a commited network participant, and may be more likely to invest in the ICO.
