I can increase the block reward to 10000000000 coins per block with a hard fork
would you want to stake then

seriously though what if we change the reward for staking to 20000 coins per block or something.
there is no point in that. Other coins do have reasonable PoS rates (like the current one or even lower) and work.
So the rate of PoS is not the reason that people are not staking and the price was raped.
The reason is there are too few nodes supporting the network and may be it is possible to think about some fixed nodes running 24/7 to support the network at least for the next month or so.
