I agree with Pang, the chart was already super bearish by the time the decision was made to try and save Dash by paying the stakers slightly more for holding the troubled coin. The change that AFBitcoins (DashAF) and Tokenormal are complaining about is a decision to increase the % of the block reward paid to Masternodes from 45% to 54% by May 2025 ! A very modest change! In hindsight, we can see that this change did not go far enough and the APY earned by the holders was not sufficient to stop the torrential selling as your boys tokenormal and AFBitcoin dumped the living shit out of this coin sending the price to where it is today.
Decred is another coin that has moved to reduce the amount of reward paid to miners
https://docs.decred.org/advanced/issuance/ and it is following same trajectory as any other alt, no better or worse, FIRO also had a reallocation to favour the masternodes and does just fine. This nonsense about paying miners more makes no sense if we aren't able to get more value from them for doing so.
