I'm having a lot of fun lately thinking about everything in cryptotokens:
Everyone gets 3 basicMealTokens and 1 basicFun token.
However, in SF, there are only sfMealTokens which require 20 basicMealTokens.
In Vietnam, 1 vietnameseChickenPlatterToken is only half a basicMealToken.
Tech workers are paid in techWorkTokens which can be exchanged for 200 basicMealTokens each or 100 basicFunTokens, or 1/1000th of a Tesla token.
Token transfers have friction so it is advantageous to maintain a surplus of tokens most easily transferrable (least hops) to what you want.
To ease this, SF maintains a sfBasicToken and makes the market to transfer tokens from all over the world to sfBasicTokens. sfBasicTokens have an advantage in that you can pay for things easily instead of paying 67.34 redditStatusTokens.
Some old geezer is willing to sell his house for a legacy usdToken, a token so old it had a physical representation and no historical memory.
The basicFoodToken ideas doesn't pan out. SF starts giving out sfBasicFoodTokens instead. However large numbers of people realize an arbitrage mistake and live like kings in Thailand, taking advantage of the buying power of sfTokens due to the Thailand people wanting to make it big with their startup dreams in the Bay Area.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
