Burning BNT, and only BNT, will help resolve this situation.
Is there a need to continue LM rewards indefinitely? Rewards were intended to attract liquidity to v2.1, which it accomplished. Investors came for the LM, but stayed for the IL protection. LM rewards served their purpose, and should be retired in favor of other marketing initiatives, such as going multi-chain, which would allow us to grow trading volume, increase liquidity and attract new users (and their liquidity).
Then we must create a compelling reason to buy BNT without minting new BNT to incentivize people to do so.
