The author's point is on trying to create tokens out of things which don't really need one, specially the file storage ones like storj, sia, maidsafe - all of which are explicitly mentioned in the article.
So I am wondering are you reading this as a critique of bitcoin and cryptocurrency or the so-called "storage" tokens?
Without quantifying - "most serious", this is an actual straw man:
> However, most serious BitTorrent users are active on trackers which require a certain seed:leech ratio, thereby metering the user's contribution.
The point is majority of the BitTorrent works like that, it doesn't matter if there is a minority of "serious BitTorrent users" which require certain seed:leech ratio.
- vasilipupkin 9y agotokens are there because they are first and foremost a fundraising and network bootstrapping mechanism. Remove that part of it and nobody would issue any tokens.
- vasilipupkin 9y agoI like how this is being downvoted. Which part of this do you disagree with ? that it's a fundraising mechanism?
