They can. Through a fork I believe.
One other thing that might change the game a bit is if the payout rules change to let the user ask for full SBD instead of 50/50. That will increase the liquidity and market movements for sure.

nice. i never thought about ideas like these, maybe because i think they'd be SO monumental that the whole whitepaper would have to be changed. what's cool about this idea is that it coudl be used in "featured-like" type of post and send all SBD to the authors
But i can't see it becoming a standard, i'm afraid it would actually increase the sbd enormously because most ppl would chose to get sbd and quick cash out.
As @hisnameisollie says, easy to fall into the trap of "get rich quick" , right?

@razvanelulmarin: I hope you see this answer as the comment nesting limitation doesn't allow me to reply to your comment directly.

Yup. There's a great risk to allow post payouts directly to SBD as the users can cash-out directly and not go through and extra step towards powering up when that extra step could be their real wallet.
up on the @hisnameisollie part :)
