The problem with rushing to nuke Root APY is that most people aren’t ready or willing to take the leap into alpha tokens
Most $TAO stakers aren’t confident in their ability to evaluate or navigate the #dTAO world
For most, Root is still the safe option.. stable and low maintenance
Remove that too quickly and the likely response isn't that they'll rotate capital into alphas.. it’ll probably just push them to exit entirely
That capital loss just weakens #Bittensor's foundations
It fragments everything, discourages new investors and makes the ecosystem a smaller playground for us early movers
Yes, Root APY needs to decline.. and it already is
But moving too fast doesn't accelerate adoption of subnets.. It just narrows everything
You have to give people a reason to want to convert..
You don't remove the training wheels before people have even found the pedals
