Holding staked Hive power could prove to be very valuable for businesses of tomorrow.

Just one way could be in 'tipping'.

Imagine I am a restaurant owner and want to get some reviews from my customers on their experience as a way of marketing my business. Rather than asking for a review (unlikely to succeed in most cases), I probably have to offer some sort of discount as an incentive.

Unfortunately, this strategy hurts my cashflow as it costs me.

But if I have a decent amount of staked Hive Power, I can upvote the review instead. This upvote could be enough in some cases to refund the entire cost of the meal!

And the best bit?

There is no cost outlay for me as the restaurant owner in applying this marketing strategy as the 'tip' comes out of the Hive reward pool. Not directly from my business's pocket.

Think of all the other businesses that could benefit from 'tipping' their customers in this way through the power of the Hive blockchain...
