Definitely, if you will clearly show the mind boggling difference between funds burned and funds donated to developers (perhaps via some chart), and emphasize that the value of XCP on market is depending on the success of the project which in turn directly based on amount of work the devs can put into it, this will be a big motivator for all current and future investors.

I think/hope that most simply are not aware of the huge difference between burnt and donated funds.
(Just look at NEX project, which already raised ~7BTC in donations based on possible potential only - without any working product).
