In the end, all decentralized solutions for problems have the same inherent motivator; a token that is supposed to have and/or gain value as the system gets used. As crypto-tokens are mostly a zero-sum game, where the strongest, bestest coin takes over the market completely (in the same way gold took its predecessor's position), I can't for the life of me understand why most of these solutions are implemented in native tokens or tokens on a blockchain that isn't either Bitcoin or one of its upperlying layers.
