Personalized Education ICOs. Everyone gets their own token redeemable for a portion of lifetime earnings and tradable on an exchange. Traders can go long on an investment or short you if they forsee the market digesting an event decreasing your likely lifetime earnings.

You might enjoy (or have already read ;)) "The Incorporated Man", a fiction novel which has this basic premise: Everyone's a minority shareholder in their own personal corporation. (except the main character). It's pretty well written, and both the main character and the antagonist have points of view which make sense, IMO.
