Thank you for taking the time to write this article. If you read the DRIP white paper, the so-called “taxes” are where investors get their dividends from. So, yes, the 10% tax on just about everything appears overkill on the surface until you realize that is where you are getting paid from. I agree with you, though, that to really maximize earnings, you’d have to cultivate a “Team”. You should watch the YouTube videos from the DRIP team. They screen-share and it’s pretty obvious they are making quite a bit of money from having a huge “Team” or downline. So, I think there is value in a steady 1% per day, and agree to urge investors to monitor the $DRIP token value to reduce the chance of impermanent loss.
