I tend to agree with you, but will present a challenge anyways: who cares about the exchange if the tokens being traded aren’t themselves aren’t backed by some utility? I would answer that at the very least, the exchange between Bitcoin, Stablecoins, and contract coins powering the platform provides a solid foundation. People who want to argue Bitcoin isn’t useful usually just want to argue and are often fairly inept.
