Cryptocurrencies are games and games have intrinsic value. AirBnB is a game, and if you implemented it as a cryptocurrency it would have value. There’s nothing particularly special about AirBnB in terms of software. It’s barely more complex than Bitcoin. But implementing games so that cheating is prohibitively expensive is very hard. That’s why we only have pretty simple games so far, like “ledger” and “compute”. But we will some day have the entire set of Games Whose Cheats Can, With Some Effort, Be Made Prohibitively Expensive available to us as cryptocurrencies. Tokens in those systems will all have intrinsic value proportionate to the value those games have in society.
