I would be in favor of a degrading cap.
The purpose of these capitol infusions is to reach network effect.
Similar to how a Rocket has stages for attaining escape velocity. The capital infusion stage should be curtailed and ultimately dropped or near 0%.
Once safely outside the earths strong gravitational forces there should be little need for massive infusion. Any necessary funding can come from delegate pay at that point.
So how long a window is safe to say we should be well on our way to mars?
10 years?
This seems very palatable actually. I'd imagine even those against dilution could get behind this plan.
Benefits:
- Yearly cap in place to limit worst case bad or scam dilution plans
- With gradually degrading cap more money is available early when it's likely most needed
- Theoretical absolute maximum supply is finite
Maybe start at 16% cap and reduce cap by 2% each year down to 0?
Not that it means much, but even as someone that is against dilution I would actively support this kind of scheme.
