5% Annual inactivity fee
is massive negative PR, good job it was canned IMO.
While not popular, I believe it is more popular than inflation & was in the original whitepaper we all invested in.
The fees earned and not spent on delegates can be directed to BitAsset yield and this would be accceptable as we're not inflating the DAC to do it. So to avoid the fee, a BTS shareholder just has to vote once a year and to benefit from it just has to hold BitAssets (Which aren't subject to the fee) So it could address Voter Apathy and BitAsset adoption.
My personal view is that apart from the temporary setback of requiring price feeds that BTSX was on a strong uptrend until inflation became a serious reality and 5 months later we're still 60% down even in BTC terms during a time when BTS should have been going from strength to strength, growing in value, community size and interest.
As I said at the time -
