Yes, everyone knows that, yet no one knows how long they are going to do that. They might stop to 50% like some projects or keep going indefinitely. What i would like to know why they are not answering to this. They are not committed to any number so they might just stop burning after 40% for all we know. They have never promised to keep going indefinitely, and at some point there are no team tokens to be burned.
I think if they decide to stop burning BFG tokens, they will first ask the community about it and create a vote.
As it was when they decided to extend the mining period for BFG tokens.
You hit the nail on the head! Involving the community in critical decisions is a game-changer. Put it to a vote, let the majority rule, and the team can guarantee they're in sync with their supporters' desires. Open the floor to everyone's thoughts and concepts, and we build an all-embracing, cooperative community. Who's to say someone won't throw a curveball solution our way?
In fact, I'm betting my bottom dollar the bulk of the community will opt to "burn" those BFG tokens. You see, incinerating them shrinks the overall stockpile, which could pump up the value for the tokenholders. Ka-ching!
