There will not be any kind of swap or burn of coins. Also Espers is not going to fork from any "better" coins.
Too bad. Because burning coins is a very good idea.
Maybe, if you are looking to make few quick bucks, but that is not the purpose of Espers.

Have you ever thought about the ESPERS rate if it cost a thousand dollars a day?
It really would be expensive.
In Brazil, only those who have a lot of money can invest in BTC (not the case of ESPERS at the moment), because for us in Brazil, it costs 80 reais the BTC rate and most people start with 100 reais (they receive almost nothing btc)
I think the rate must exist, but very small.
