I don't understand the idea of burning something when people need them or are using them. Inflation is not always bad. it's depend where it goes. Steem is around 8.5% today and decreases every year by 0.5%. Those who power up their Steem benefit from this inflation. Long term holders benefit from inflation. It's not a problem because it was design and build with that in mind. Those who want to burn their steem can do that with @null account.
