Are you familiar with our buyback program?
I think the buyback program is really a great way to maintain a healthy blockchain ecosystem which could give the benefit of avoiding future issues that may arise with it. Good work!
Trust me, they won't remove even 50% of ERC20 from circulation, because it is an opt-in solution (just like everything in blockchain). The best alternative was to let ERC-20 tokens become deprecated tokens. That would have been much easier to do and would resemble to an opt-out solution (the original plan).
