That is great!
Also, given the current 15% premium on bitUSD and the need for the workers to buy bitUSD to cover workers, we maybe find a win-win solution. Here is what currently happens.
the workers.bitshares.foundation account obtains BTS and uses them to buy bitUSD off the markets paying a premium of up to 15% some times.
This "leaks" profits to those that short bitUSD and sell at <15% premium and improves the liquidity. This profit is paid by the reserve funds!
In a sense, we could say that the reserve subsidizes liquidity. Personally, I don't have a problem with this, but from an economical point of few, it
would be much better for the BitShares ecosystem if there was a cheaper source for bitUSD for the workers.
The question I would like to ask is this: Should the worker account rather pay a premium to improve volume (not liquidity - it's actually taking liquidity)
or should the worker trade against committee-owned funds at feed price?
