tokens are useful if they CAPTURE AND CARRY information about the value provided by the network to the users in the form of a service.

token design usefulness of the token

  1. what service does the network PROVIDE TO THE users?

  2. How do you MEASURe the value of the service?

  3. what is the information about the value of the service that is going to be captured and carried by the token?

@donhylo

NOTE: to have intrinsic value, that information has to come from within the network and not from an oracle or something like that.
