> you and other company "owners" just want to keep as much of the pie as possible.
duh? thats how all companies work and every instruction manual for founders dealing with VCs and outside capital is about that, which is what this entire forum is about. don't most of you guys here get "a very generous .005%" of a company which gets diluted three more times before it goes bankrupt? working either half a decade of your life or doing that but also paying for the privilege of buying that .005%?
the people getting paid in tokens are in a much better position, way more often, as in liquidity at or above the price of their service most of the time, and people here want to create a reason why that's a problem, really wonder why people choose self-limiting realities.
and why is owners in quotes? pretty much all cryptocurrencies are issued by an actual company that has actual shareholders, and books actual revenue for actual shareholders by selling the cryptocurrencies.
It's not different than any other kind of organization. The tokens do not convey and securities rights in the company, but they may convey some kind of collective benefit in the token-powered product.
The best would be a cooperative, where each employee owns an equal share of the company and has equal decision making ability.
