But prices don't go up slowly, they mostly jump at around new year because people are afraid of the squish and they're preparing for it. Some go for the "sell everything, get coins now" method, others go for "buy everything, sell later" method. This would probably make 2 jumps instead of one.
But ok, if you wanted 2 smaller squishes they could take 29.289% twice for the same end effect. Or take 15.91% four times, or... take 0.1897% every day. Monthly seems ok as it's "only" 5.612%. Honestly, if I log in one day and instead of 10k i have 9500 I'd be like oh, well that sucks, but I can handle it. Smaller doesn't make much of an impact.
