True, coin burning is not the answer.
What would help is dividing all accounts by 10 and dropping the last decimal digit (to keep a total of 8 decimal digits).
That would automatically solve all price and exchange problems, dropping max supply from 500 to 50 billion. If you had 100 mil before, you now have 10 mil etc. I can't believe 50bn with 8 decimals is not enough for whatever uses are found.
Of course I am not trying to tell anyone one to do. The devs have said multiple times price is not of concern and that I understand. But having the coin onmany exchanges and traded at whatever price gives it exposure and that is good.
This kind of exposure is good and currently not enjoyed.
Another thing, I have no clue whatsoever how easy this division by 10 would be to implement. It might not be possible with a simple hard fork and require a coin swap, which is another reason I don't expect it to be considered seriously because it would be much trouble.
