In the past few days, @Justin_Bons has dissected the $EGLD inflation proposal with super clear and accurate data. In his last thread, I noted the most important hooks from each paragraph all of them connect and reinforce each other. Now I’ll break it down concisely and clearly: Let’s go through the strongest hooks from each section of Justin’s thread so you can see why $EGLD needs urgent reform before investors start moving to more solid chains. 1/16 – Inflation Is Not Growth Hook: 'Hidden tax' Treating inflation as growth ignores how dilution compounds, especially when emissions fund centralized pots instead of securing the network like $BTC. 2/16 – Fake DAO Hook: 'Fake DAO' The 40/60 split screams rebranded centralization; true DAOs like $DASH distribute power evenly to avoid single points of failure in governance. 3/16 – Builder "Growth" Fund (20% of Inflation) Hook: 'Whitelists are never justified in a decentralized context' Whitelisting turns incentives into an insiders' club, killing organic innovation; better to let market forces pick winners without that layer of bias. 4/16 – User "Growth" Fund (20% of Inflation) Hook: 'Mercenary traders' Liquidity hunters amplify volatility without building stickiness; $SOL learned early, yet EGLD repeats it with fresh emissions. 5/16 – Protocol "Sustainability" (10% of Inflation) Hook: 'Blank check' Direct team payouts without proposal competition erode accountability, unlike $XTZ's merit based, transparent baking rewards. 6/16 – Conflict of Interests ($100M) Hook: 'Breaks multiple "sacred" rules of blockchain design' Arbitrary mints for leadership-linked entities shatter scarcity; violating the fixed supply ethos that made $ETH post Merge resilient. 7/16 – DAT & ETF Deals ($150M) Hook: 'Possibilities for bribes & favoritism are endless' Gifting over market buys invites info asymmetry and crony deals, undermining L1 impartiality. $BTC avoids this via pure proof-of-work neutrality. 8/16 – Builder Revenue Share (90% of Fees) Hook: 'Make all applications on $EGLD 10x more expensive' Revenue shares spike gas costs, pricing out dApps while $ETH L2s run sub cent pure anti competitive engineering. 9/16 – Economic Design Hook: 'Need at least 10x the economic activity' Weak burns vs emissions make $EGLD chase impossible throughput; $SOL proves low inflation baselines win adoption races. 10/16 – Political Blunder Hook: 'Massive bill' Omnibus bundling hides flaws, dodging scrutiny; smart governance like $DOT’s referenda breaks proposals down for real consensus. 11/16 – Chasing Imaginary Demons Hook: 'Two wrongs do not make a right' Copying $SOL’s surface without allocation discipline amplifies risks; emissions for privates aren’t ecosystem grants but value extracts. 12/16 – The Alternative Solution Hook: 'Inflation rate of 2%' A 45/45/10 split is sustainable: validators secure, burns offset dilution, treasury competes openly mirrors $DASH masternode balance without bloat. 13/16 – The Future of $EGLD Hook: 'EGLD is dead to me' When leadership prioritizes control over mechanics, L1s fade; sharding cannot save flawed tokenomics in an $ETH dominated meta. 14/16 – Perpetual Motion Machine Hook: 'Perpetual motion machine' Admitting the loop’s impossibility is peak irony; ignoring entropy makes PoS experiments collapse under their own weight. 15/16 – Refusal To Debate Hook: 'The side unwilling to debate that is the least likely to have truth on its side' Dodging public challenges signals fragile assumptions; real strength, like $SOL audits, thrives on rigorous stress-testing. 16/16 – Conclusion Hook: 'Escape the cult!' Hyping growth while engineering dilution is the ultimate red flag; holders should rotate to immutable designs like $BTC before exodus hits critical mass.
