BUILDTEAM tokens are basically a speculation on the future value of the services on the BuildTeam network and on the STEEM price, regardless of dilution, the income from the projects could prove lucrative in a bull market and earn good revenue for token holders.

If you consider dividend stocks, most don't yield more than a few percent per annum and and take many years to break even on dividends alone. Here is an example of some stocks that don't yield any more than 3% per annum http://www.indexarb.com/dividendYieldAlphan1.html, the break even on dividends alone on those stocks is more than 30 years.

You basically have to look at the BUILDTEAM token holistically, with overall benefits being staking revenue while still maintaining the original speculative token capital which could see higher values again just like the rest of crypto. There is no break-even data collated to date but I would guess it is way sooner than the 30 years of traditional stocks.

Even in the face of dilution, if app revenue exceeds the rate of dilution or if the STEEM price moons and increases the revenue value, the tokenholder is still nett positive.

If you look at some of the top stakeholders, many have made back more than their staked holdings in Steem.

The user roomservice is a good one, I remember that name from early on, they have approx 1200 BUILDTEAM and have earned 3 times that amount in STEEM since the token launch at end of 2017.
