RE: How many weeks do you think powerdown should be?
You're conjuring up differences where there are none in practice. There's no threat of violence for your paycheck. The government taking your money is no different than Hive DV's. No goons with firearms at the ready stand in the payroll office threatening the paymaster.
It's the exact same effect. It produces the identical result: your money gets taken away. On Hive everybody can tax you to the limit of their stake. That is the effective difference, and that makes Hive much, much worse because that taxation can, and often is, 100% of your earnings.
No vote is the opposite of an upvote. DV's are taxes.

"There's no threat of violence for your paycheck."
You have never had any kind of dispute with the IRS. The end result is always "comply or die." There is no comparison to downvoting.
Until HIVE payout, the rewards are not your money. After payout, no one can skim off the top of your locked earnings. I don't deny there are downvote abusers. We also have vote farmers and AI spammers abusing upvotes. The claim that there is a tax effect from a downvote still does not actually make sense.

You can keep repeating false information as much as you want. It will not make it true.
Post payouts ARE NOT your money. If they were your money you could have taken the money before 7 days run out. You cant because its NOT YOURS.
DVs ARE NOT taxes.
