To clarify, future systems will require you to show commitment to the Degen project by locking or staking. We aim to reward long-term HODLers of Degen. The incentive mechanism we're designing is currently in development.

How does staking get away from farmers? Just look at ALL other projects with airdrop incentives. 
Bleh I was sad about this move.

IRL: Creative Director who makes movies and ads.

They would be the first ones to sell, right? Or no? Just here for the quick money and not the projects themselves

I sure hope that jacek and his team will consider the quality of the casters, really praying he keep that in mind, cuz if not, wc will meet its downfall, guaranteed. at this point we don't know anything
But to know that they're doing something to get rid of farmers... I'm for it

Staking is in the best scenario possible just putting the pressure to sell in the future and not fixing the problem. 
And what happens if big pockets start doing this? They will eat 99% of the good quality casters.
