I couldn't agree more. 13 weeks is just too much. This actually scares investors away. Imagine yourself buying $200k Hive and powering it up. How do you get out when the market is up? Looks like a trap. I think it should be reduced to like 6weeks.
STEEM did it, yet we didn't see the "negative" effect on the price.
Price performance is the best marketing you can give in this space.
