By your own logic, a fork of the ATOM distribution to create a new ATOM2 hub will outcompete the hub, and it suffers not from existential threats should the experiment fail. This is the power of mitosis or cell division over self mutation; it allows diversification and minimizes the risk of extinction. To the ATOM holder there would be no downsides.
First the constitution and working councils should prove themselves to be accountable and efficient. Then, we can implement what I described above on how to enable responsible budget without creating an initial ludicrously large inflation to treasury. Namely, see points 7.e and 9. Anything else only increases issuance uncertainty, not decreases it, as per my original post and point 7.b.
