Choosing violence today:

Can anyone explain to me what value there is in staking an app token other than "paying you not to sell this token"? 

(NOT talking about a protocol using staked tokens for validation collateral, an honest to god APP token - why is staking useful in a "better for users and the app" sense)

1/ sounds similar to investor lockups - makes it more expensive to dis-align

2/ gives project oppty to slash, e.g., FT tokens if you use competitors, which maybe(?) helps the more loyal users in some sense

Hard to reason about, as most non-crypto rewards programs are not transportable. I guess staking rewards was chosen as a simple+fair way to incentivize owners not to sell.

Timeshare sales pay a tax; co-op shares must pass an opaque approval process, or right of first refusal. I think most people prefer to avoid those.

Investors don’t get paid to lock up - that’s more a provision that’s forced on them?

Not sure how slashing (or general guns to the head) helps users 👀
