because dividends (especially as high as 75% of net profit, something we've somehow come to expect in Bitcoinlandia) mean the company isn't investing as much as it could for growth. While this may be great for short-term bursts for the shareholder, it's detrimental to the company, since growth is now limited to profits minus dividends.

While I certainly enjoy the high dividend yields currently available, the landscape MUST necessarily change to something more reasonable, or the companies throwing their returns back at investors will choke on their self-imposed slower pace of innovation and adaptation. Certainly 1% is a huge jump down, I think there's room for more than that in the current environment, to be frank, but a reasonable dividend amount is certainly closer to 1% than it is to 75%.
