"The "buy-and-burn" vs. "dividend" debate is a red herring and Martin's clever idea shows you can convert b+b into dividends easily in case you feel like paying more taxes. What matters is that protocols can capture revenue into a token that can fund growth. A closed loop. I dont believe that. If you have a "buy-back-and-burn token" and you want a "dividend token" you can create a wrapper token that aims to hold a constant percentage of the total supply. It then sells x% automatically on any x% burn and distributes that as a dividend. I dont believe that. If you have a "buy-back-and-burn"

"So many people still confusedly think that protocols are the same as corporations. They think burning network tokens with protocol fees means you can't then issue new tokens to reinvest in growth or productivity. Corporations can't print dollars so they have use to income debt or fundraises to pay for everything. Network tokens aren't dollars. Protocols can issue (mint) them and use them for reinvestment. Income and spending can be decoupled limited obviously by inflation. Too much issuance and the token value can decline in an inflationary spiral. Too little and the protocol may not be"

"If the DAO agrees Uniswap will finally become a "closed loop" network token: fees paid to the decentralized protocol will be captured by the token through a buyback and burn.

"An engineer an economist and a lawyer walk into a bar to talk about tokens. The engineer says A token should be classified by its function in a network. The economist says No it should be classified by its economic underpinnings. The lawyer says It should be classified by the risk it poses to holders. The bartender shakes his head and says You guys realize those are all the same thing right h/t@milesjennings The industry is mature enough that we can categorize tokens based on their legal economic and technical properties. Not all tokens are created equal. Some projects even describe their"
