Here are a list of things that would "save" $FOCUS as a token in the upcoming 21 months:

1, Easy and no-brainer: Immense increase in Focus DAU and participants that are required to purchase $FOCUS to participate on the platform for Creator Coins.

2, Stake $FOCUS. This would be a doubled-edged sword as while it might reduce short-term sell pressure on the asset, it would increase future outflows of the token via staking reward sales. It would also put $FOCUS at competitive odds with Creator Coins stifle the growth of the CC economy.

3, $FOCUS buy-back via treasury. Stupid short term idea and anyone who is propagating this is only interested in their short term liquid position. It is a one-off capital injection that will just make core team exit liquidity.

4, Additional utility. Increase the utility of the $FOCUS token by including community governance on the development roadmap or other areas of the platform. People pay for power and retaining power in this instance would require purchasing $FOCUS. I would however ensure that this is balanced by not only liquid $FOCUS tokens, but also ensuring that $FOCUS locked in Creator Coins also applies.

There is a 5th option that involves placing a sun-set period on and then re-assigning the current $FOCUS bounties to encourage Creator Coin growth, liquidity and participation but i'm still wrapping my head around what a mechanism like that would look like.
