Imagine a start-up who just got a 10 million dollar investment to get off the ground and used 2 million to buy Steem to pay their employees over that time. They can always power down and sell if needs be and recoup some costs but, if it was a common practice, the investment would keep increasing so in 2 years from today, their 2 million investment might well and truly be outperforming the very business they got the capital grant for... :D

I am imagining this is possible :)
So say I have a trading company, and I want my standout employee go to big on the internet with his forecasts - I buy a load of STEEM, power it up and support him, and him only with $'000's a day - and earn $'000s a month for the company in 'interest'? (curation) NICE
It's a whole new spin on share options...
Plus as the steem price rises, the value of the upvotes to cover employees and op costs should also rise. Win win.
It also changes retirement plan potentials too ;)
Also, what if you jump up the food chain - a VC wants to invest in promising startups. Rather than directly invest the capital, it buys a ton of steem and delegates to the startups and they follow the path you've set out to cover their costs. VC preserves its capital and may make more in the increase in value of steem than from the startups themselves.... ;)
