Exactly. But I'd also like to point out (again) that the price hasn't fallen - continual investment into VTC has ensured the price has remained stable - people measuring against BTC might as well be measuring VTC price in terms of Lean Hog contracts.

Changing the economics of the system is completely out of the question. You don't change the rules of the game once people have started playing - it's a scam. In addition, it upsets the equilibrium that the market finds, and makes it impossible for price discovery to happen - a blockchain can protect as much money as it has the hashrate to secure, that's one of the reasons that I believe VTC is cheap at $1, and it's also a reason to keep miners well incentivised to secure the blockchain.
