> 
> Suggestion:
> "Why does Bisq need a DAO?
> A decentralized exchange like Bisq requires to be censorship resistance in all aspects. The trade protocol and the P2P network have achieved that to a high degree. The way how contributors are compensated for their work and how decisions are made need to meet that criteria as well to ensure that Bisq can develop its full potential." (probably too long....)

I would keep Seve's minimal text, but add yours about full potential. Something like:
 Bisq trading is currently decentralized, but Bisq's funding and decision-making is not. Help develop its full potential.

> WHAT
> > The DAO enables Bisq to manage funding and decision-making without the confines of a corporation or other legal entity, keeping Bisq stateless & sovereign.
> 
> Suggestion:
> "What is the Bisq DAO?
> The Bisq DAO is a socio-economic structure enabled by software and based on Bitcoin. It enables the transfer of revenue in form of the trading fees from the users of Bisq to those who build and maintain Bisq. Voting has a central function in the DAO for the process of compensating contributors and for decision making."

I would explain what the DAO acronym is.
A DAO is a decentralised autonomous organisation a new concept with a potential to replace classic corporations. (Then add Manfred's part) The Bisq DAO is a socio-economic structure enabled by software and based on Bitcoin. It enables the transfer of revenue in form of the trading fees from the users of Bisq to those who build and maintain Bisq. Voting has a central function in the DAO for the process of compensating contributors and for decision making. Then @m52go 's text: The DAO enables Bisq to manage funding and decision-making without the confines of a corporation or other legal entity, keeping Bisq stateless & sovereign.

> Suggestion:
> "How does the Bisq DAO work?
> At the heart of the Bisq DAO is BSQ - a Bitcoin based colored coin token. The Bitcoin blockchain is used for notarizing meta data which is distributed over the Bisq P2P network. All Bisq applications are nodes in the Bisq DAO network and are validating the consensus rules. New BSQ are created when a contributor gets acceptance from the stakeholders by voting. BSQ is "uncolored" when a user pays trading fees. By that "uncoloring" process the value of each BSQ increases as the total supply gets reduced, thus making each stakeholder more whealty."

I would keep @m52go 's part mostly unchanged, but certainly add explanation of what is BSQ.

WHAT: A TOKEN?
At the heart of the Bisq DAO is BSQ - a Bitcoin based colored coin token. A colored coin lives on the bitcoin blockchain and inherits all Bitcoin's features and adds some new that are needed for the DAO like the ability to submit compensation requests on chain, vote, etc.(then would supply a link to the part of the docs where the structure of the BSQ transactions is defined) New BSQ is created when a contributor gets acceptance from the stakeholders by voting. BSQ is destroyed ("uncolored") when a user pays trading fees. This creates a unique market force governed supply of BSQ.

HOW: DECISION-MAKING
With no CEO or central leadership team, DAO voting (social consensus) is what directs project strategy.
HOW: FUNDING
With no financial accounts to hold revenue, the BSQ token is what distributes value from traders to contributors

> 
> > Traders
> > When the DAO is live, you'll be able to pay trading fees with BSQ.
> > by buying BSQ with BTC, you'll be paying Bisq contributors for their work
> > BSQ trading fees are much lower than BTC trading fees
> > you can still pay trading fees with plain BTC if you like
> 
> Suggestion:
> "Traders:
> When the DAO is live, you'll be able to pay trading fees with BSQ.
> 
> * if you pay trading fees in BSQ instead of BTC you get a hefty discount
> * contributors are selling their BSQ on Bisq. By buying BSQ from them, you support the Bisq DAO
> * Trade fees are distributed to all BSQ stakeholders by "uncoloring" BSQ back to BTC - thus all stakeholders will enjoy a value increase of their BSQ. A novel way to distribute revenue.
> * if you are not convinced yet, no worry you can stick with paying the fee in BTC
> 

I would keep @m52go 's wording in the traders part.
> > Contributors
> > When the DAO is live, you'll receive BSQ for your work.

I would merge the 2:
Contributors:
* When the DAO is live, you'll earn BSQ for your work. (I like the receive word replaced by earn!)
* do valuable work, request compensation, receive BSQ
* vote on compensation requests of other contributors
* sell BSQ to traders for BTC to get paid
* do more work, grow the network, and do it all again!


I would refrain from using superlatives like the most pemissionless, ICO's do that it could hit back ...
