If the financing model of a traditional blockchain is okay, but issuing tokens are not.. then programmers are about to get very creative with how get around loopholes.

I mean the contract will be written by a person. But instead of having a central "issuer" (like a core team) the issuing mechanism is automated via the contract on the blockchain.
