I'm sure I don't understand most of the implications, but seems like it could be a cool mechanism for a lot of things. You could start a company and distribute a percentage of future revenue to owners of the currency based on # of tokens (or whatever) and you have something that ties reward to time spent working on project in a direct way. Not sure you need a cyrpto currency for this or things like this, but is a cool idea.



This is basically what stock options are. The mechanism of allocation is usually a bit different, but the basic concept is the same.
