| All of these have existing solutions: > * Distribute tokens to partners (product / gift manufacturers). Partners with vested interest in the success of a company could be much less likely to sever relations as it will hurt their investment. = stock or partial ownership. > * Distribute tokens to customers as a type of rebate. Like a loyalty program that encourages patronship. = rebates. > * Use tokens to vote on what products should be sold. Many gift shops sell pipes and other drug related items. This decision would sink other family oriented shops. What would your customers like? = surveys. > * Distribute tokens to the locals as an attempt to build virility and community around your shop. = flyers, ads, etc. > * Distribute tokens to employees as a way to recognize accomplishments. Ever get a few bonus stock from your company for doing good work over the week? Me neither. = bonuses/stock options > * Sell tokens to raise funds. = IPOs or kickstarters. > * Set budgets based on community votes. = surveys Literally everything you've listed is a solved problem. The only thing on here that might benefit from being a cryptocoin is the rebates idea: that's because rebates depend on some customers not cashing in their rebate. So if you make it harder to cash in your rebates by using a worse technology which is hard to use like cryptocoins, fewer users will cash in their rebates. However, this is a sleazy business practice, and if capitalism works as it should, sleazy companies offering rebates in the hope that people won't claim them should go out of business, so hopefully this would result in bad publicity and this business strategy would backfire. |
* Hiring based on votes from stakeholders
* Choosing what events are held when through voting or burning (scheduling)
* Continuous community airdrops to encourage repeat visits
* Pairing with other local companies to cross airdrop for promotional purposes.
* Charging artists to hang paintings in the tokenized asset (encouraging patron art).
Tokenization can become a customizable base level component. Kind of like a webite.
I appreciate your skepticism but I do encourage you to rethink your stance.
