People/Companies that are interested to have an opinion about where the project should go, what should be the priorities should buy those tokens in order to \"vote\". Votes are done by giving back the tokens to the DCO, which are then put back by the DCO to be sold on the market again. The cash accumulated by the DCO can then be redistributed to its core programers as salary or as bounty for external programers.\r\nAnother aspect could be that, if you think that there is an issue that you think is important, you can buy tokens on the exchange market, and you allocate them to the issue. They work as a bounty, until the issue hasn't been closed, the token is kept under the control of the OSP (or even better an Ethereum smart contract). When the issue is closed, the tokens are redistributed to the programers that contributed to fixing the issue. They can then sold by the programmer on the exchange for e.g. bitcoins or be reused to vote on decisions concerning the OSP-DCO. \r\nThis way both people that work on the project and people that invest on the project can vote on the direction that the project should take."}}
