After hosting a few discussions on the forum, it strikes me as more sustainable to incentivize forum frequenters to make some discussions themselves. As such, I intend on giving away 100 PPC after February 1st to my favorite post. I will consider any post with “FutureMinds 5” in the title and a Peercoin receiving address in the post. This is not a guarantee of anything, I might for example split it among multiple posts or decide not to send anything. This is more just a statement of intent, I want to see if this works out to get people thinking about what all the community should be focusing on.
Posting something in the next week with “FutureMinds 5” in the title with an interesting topic of discussion and a Peercoin receiving address in the body could receive up to 100 PPC.

As a fun exercise, Is Peercoin a better choice as a Strategic reserve to the USD than Bitcoin? I know some say Bitcoins limited supply is a good thing but didn’t the Peercoin Whitepaper say that a 1% inflation is better? Is this because Gold is mined at about 1% inflation per year?

An issue with Peercoins liquidity doesn’t seem to be seriously addressed by most of the community. I would like to know what PPC holders think? Is the fact that PPC’s liquidity is the laughing stock of the crypto industry something that needs to be addressed or are people really not worried about it? Does anyone have ideas on how to increase it?

Here’s one for the libertarians. There seems to be signs of a growing concern that Bitcoin is now under control of big the big greedy corporate companies. To me this has been obvious since I learned that Tether owns/controls Bitcoin. It seems to be coming more obvious now to others with Microstratergy and Blackrock buying over 5% of the supply. And, even more obvious as the US Government and the IMF toying with the idea of having it as a strategic reserve. It seems to me that this is very likely to happen because of the new US President. Unfortunately greed, from the people/voters, seems to be pushing for this to happen soon. Back to the point of why crypto was so popular in the beginning which is to give these greedy companies and the gov the middle finger and have the people work around it. My question is can anyone see an opportunity for Peercoin to bring back this movement (as it was said recently in Discord by Sentinelrv)? Is Peercoins decentralised, untainted P2P blockchain a system that can bring back this movement?
Peercoin is better, because a limited supply can lead to monopolisation of ownership (for example, an Egyptian Pharaoh hording all the gold in his pyramid, no-one else gets a look in). A moderate inflation rate, meanwhile, gently decentralises ownership. This is a general advantage about Peercoin, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t apply to a Strategic reserve.
I’m no miner, and as a novice in the cryptocurrency field, I do not trade on the crypto exchange. Still, visiting related sites and faucets has brought me some number of coins in various cryptocurrencies — except for PPC as there seems to be no related PPC faucets (therefore, my PPC balance remains the same for some years). That’s why the only reasons for me to visit Peercoin.net so far is checking for wallet updates and looking for help in case I’ve got any troubles.
From my point of view, the thing that could encourage users to visit Peercoin.net more often is receiving a portion of PPC for each entrance to the site or staying on-line for a certain amount of time. Ideally, with the possibility of withdrawing the coins to users’ wallets. I think that could increase the number of users visiting the site as well as its traffic.
Congratulations to @7veter1! This was a pertinent topic, and the pursuit of a generous community is something with lots of roots in crypto communities, from tipbots to faucets.
Thank you all for your submissions! I appreciate the participation and the conversation, whatever the topic.
