The hype is contentcoins (is it?), but I feel more comfortable with devcoins: Coins issued by developers, to support their work -great fit for open source devs, but not only.
Devcoins come with zero obligations, you just support the developer -but devs build things, so it shouldn't surprise you if a devcoin finds utility along the way.
Holding a devcoin is a way to say thank you to a developer for what they've already done, encourage them to work on what they want to build, or help them maintain a piece of code you rely on.
If you're a trader, it's ok to trade a devcoin (as if you were waiting for me to tell you if it is or it isn't) -if properly set up, the developer will benefit of the fees, and you from identifying an opportunity.
You can also tip a developer in their devcoin: you increase demand, while also increasing their treasury which they can use in the future. 2 replies
