the concept of privacy is great, but using tokens as its own currency to buy and sell under the umbrella of bitcoin is a no go. Economics 101 - you want to talk about both absolute value and circulation. And its not like it can't get rug pulled - any other "token" can come in, hype the crap out of people and screw them over.

Money is based on on what people trust and as commodity circulation. At present Bitcoin is based on pump and dump.

If we want Bitcoin to become the global money reserve, internet currency, the dependable backbone for every body - then we must retain the use of bitcoin and bitcoin only - not a variety of token currency. And bitcoin must be integrated in as many places to be used to buy and sell goods and services. not token currency.

Calle is super smart, and very passionate about privacy which is great. I hope token currency is eliminated and there are diff ways to go about this.
