Are there currently any ERC tokens with applicable utility other than wild speculation and claims about unproven future features which the ERC20 tokens are created in completely arbitrary (artificial scarcity, sidestepping SEC IPO investments) limited amounts for?
- SeoxyS 9y agoNumeraire for example (NMR) is a ERC-20 token which has a real-world application today.
- atomical 9y agoYou can say that about 99% of the ICO's. That doesn't make them good investments.
- _coldfire 9y agoIf some of these projects go on to produce open source software of worth it won't all be for nothing. Associating the ERC-20 protocol with the current mania and nonsense of cryptocurrencies doesn't seem fair. It's simply a method of creating a sub-currency, which yes is often unnecessary but marketing is a powerful force so it happens. Having seen small rural communities try and fail to create their own local currency years ago it's only a matter of time before some try again digitally.
