to increase the block reward sounds like a really good idea, if u want to destroy your own project zack ;-)
it destroys all the trust u build as the leader of this project. the community as growing since day 1 with this block reward, no need for a change...
No individual has the power to change the block reward. The entire community participates in governance.
I am not a leader in the way you think. I don't have the power to make decisions like that.
If I am a leader, it is only because I try things first and teach others what I have learned.
