After some thinking, i will update my proposal to the following structure:
Buy 6% 3% Treasury 3% Eth reflections/rewards
Sell 6% 3% Treasury 2% Eth reflections/rewards 1% burn
Since we should be going upwards, the holders will be rewarded a bit more from the buys and with a small majority the community wants to keep the burn tax, it will be included in the sell tax structure
I hereby request to modify the tax model of agfi:
Currently BUY 5%: 4% Treasury 1% Operations
SELL 13%: 6% Treasury 1% Burn 3% ETH Rewards 3% Operations
New proposal
Buy 6% 3% Treasury 3% Eth reflections/rewards
Sell 6% 3% Treasury 3% Eth reflections/rewards
Why the change?
Those taxes came from a time, where high tax were the meta and in a bull run, people didn't care. However nowadays you need to compete with a lot of other projects and taxes around 5% or 6% each way are accepted by the communities in general
Why no burn? The burn tax was implemented by agfi to fight the inflation bug in the v1 hard-fork contract. This isn't the case anymore with v3. Burn feature is more of a marketing tool for meme project to trick people into thinking that burning has a direct correlation to the price. Burning tokens simply reduces the marketcap and the selling pressure. But to have a significant impact, a lot of tokens would need to be burned anyways.
Why no marketing/operation tax?
It is true that every project needs funds to operate, for marketing an development. But with the current volume, those taxes would provide only a very small amount. In short-term it would be easier to do a new proposal to allocate funds from the treasury to a marketing wallet. When the machine is well oiled again, operation/marketing tax could be re-implemented.
