I don't disagree with your proposal for addressing it, but I would add that even in the short term, it seems to me that the only stakeholders who really benefit from high SBD prices are authors.  I think other stakeholders are harmed in both the short and long term.  I wrote about it from a stakeholder perspective a few months ago: [About those high SBD prices](https://steemit.com/sbd/@remlaps/about-those-high-sbd-prices).

Two questions that no one seems to be asking:

i. Does restoring the SBD peg reduce the whale self-voting/voting-clique problem?

ii.  For a healthy platform, what are the desired ratios of voters/authors, investors/authors, and even readers/authors?

Authors are the ones with the megaphones, so these discussions usually assume that every Steem user is an author, but is that really the way the platform works best?  It seems to me that the platform would be healthier with many more voters, and investors than authors (who have the smallest incentive to hold steem).  The high SBD price does nothing to encourage that dynamic.
