My favourite question from the NEARcon crypto conference this week.

Audience question:

“Why do the blockchains always have tokens? Can you do it without a token?”

Speaker:

“They don’t have to have tokens but it’s in my interest that there’s a token”.

Naturally I’ve been spamming bitcoin 😃

whats a "tolkien"?

Thats so messed up! There is only one Bitcoin!! If people just realised that USD is a shitcoin and btc is the real 'game'. I'm a bit like a bee at the moment.

LoL… they got busted!

Would’ve been nicer if he’d been even more honest and said: “because registering a security is way too much hassle, plus this way I don’t need to wait to be bought out by Google, I can just dump my bags when the time is right.”

Wow, so openly admitting it, but also not even smart enough to realise that they DO need a token because how else do you incentivise honest actors (fees) to create verify, and uphold the integrity of blocks?!
