What if the size of stake one is holding unlocked a trickle of "free credits" to an account?
So if Bob has 1,000 BTS, he gets 1000 credits a month.
If Sarah has 5,000 BTS, she gets 5000 credits a month.
(note: these numbers are completely arbitrary and could be structured in various ways--but will not go further at this point).
These credits could be used toward the fees for various "features" such as:
1) encrypted messaging,
2) creation of assets, bitassets and more.
3) ...?
However, to "unlock" this awesome power, you have to have a lifetime membership...
It would be entirely possible to allow people to put up a % of them every month (and various other things could be made available for them). This would help make people feel like they are "in the club" and get special bonuses (but only after the take the dive and put up for a lifetime membership (which will make them more likely to stick around for the long haul).
A few "power ups" that could be used:
1) 10% less fees (across the board or we could even separate each and make them each a power up and give each tiers--,2,3,4,5 that maxes out at 25% and costs large amounts of credits (or bts as 1:1?) for each tier)
2) Can sell 5% more of total credits (this could have multiple tiers--1,2,3,4,5 that maxes out at 25% and costs large amounts of credits (or bts as 1:1?) for each tier)
3) ...?
Various gamification techniques could be used in this and it is really open ended, but it will be interesting to hear people's thoughts on the potential of making it possible to "unlock" these powerups...
