A tax on property already owned is something I'm fundamentally against.
Being charged for lack of usage erodes our concept of property ownership,
especially when usage itself sufficiently subsidizes the network. The
"network tax" was already paid on the acquisition of the asset by the
sender, and another network tax will be paid by the current owner upon
every subsequent sale or self-transfer.

My perspective: HODLers are indeed providing a valuable service to the
longevity and growth of network value. They're providing scarcity.
