The startups who are creating market places where they use their token for services, could in fact replace the means of investing in equity? The reason, while the business increases their customer base and profits, the token also increases in value. And with the token, you can liquidate anytime, unlike equity. The only value equity has now would be ownership. Unless you have a buyer who wants control of the company, I see it difficult to actually sell equity when the token is there. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
Not sure what equity you are discussing here really. Are you talking about stock market kind of equity?

I believe equity is similar. If you buy stocks over a company, if its value goes up so will its stocks values. Then if that price goes up then you can sell it for more than what you both it. Isn't that how most stocks work in the stock markets?
