That is equivalent to just burning the undistributed Bytes. Waiting to see if the methods proposed by Tony to actually bring in new users will be prudent. By and large, the method of distributing Bytes to those who link their real world ids seems to have failed. That doesn't mean that the other proposed methods are not worth trying out.
The ID verification system JUST started. It is by no means a failure yet.
Airdrop is not quite the same as burn. An airdrop seems more likely to crash the price, but cause a wider distribution.
