[bisq-network/growth] Blog topic: Bisq DAO for maximalists (#92)

[Steve Jain]

Discuss why the Bisq DAO and BSQ token actually have a worthy use. 

Typical big objections: 
1. There is no company or other entity to provide the functions these tools enable, so the "token is unnecessary" argument is flawed. All token issuers so far have been entities, so it's reasonable for people to be skeptical at first.
2. BSQ is not a currency to compete with bitcoin. It merely enables bitcoin payments when one party of the transaction is not known in advance.

Resources I've found helpful for counter-arguments:
- [Francis Pouliot's on Peter McCormack's podcast on BAT](https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/francis-pouliot-on-the-network-effect-of-money-and-why-tokens-are-scams)
- All of bitcoin maximalist Twitter

Possibly helpful (haven't read in detail):
