It’s ultimately up to shareholders to decide when NSR grants are appropriate. Because they dilute shareholder equity, it’s unlikely they will be used often.
Besides NBT burning, one alternative scenario that might lead to a successful NSR grant would be a parallel equity offering. As a purely hypothetical example, let’s pretend Teehe asked for a 10,000,000 NSR grant from shareholders, and in exchange promised 50% of their available Teehe shares to all NuShareholders.
At current supply levels 10M NSR would be a dilution of about 1.25%.
As long as shareholders believed that the future value of 50% of Teehe was worth more than that 1.25% dilution, an NSR grant might be provided. Teehe would gain access to a reliable asset to use as capital, and more importantly gain access to the considerable network effect of Nu by encouraging NuShareholders to also hold Teehe shares. As a reward, NuShareholders would potentially significantly increase the overall value of their crypto portfolio through the future projected worth of Teehe shares.
Now, of course Teehe doesn’t do this, but it’s possible we might see another Peershare implementation propose this in the future. It would be much like traditional VC - a Peershare startup reduces its future potential profitability by “selling” its shares to NuShareholders, but gains working capital and a user base to get its idea off the ground.
