ETH is a token just as Kik's Kin will be a token. You are correct that it is built into Ethereum, rather than on top of Ethereum. I tried to make that distinction by calling it "native".

Can you prove this? I've also set up DKIM, reverse DNS, and SPF, but Microsoft places mail sent from my AWS box straight into the spam folder. Every other email provider that I've tried has been able to receive my email correctly.

Your analogies about choice do not really play here. This is about telling someone "we didn't cancel your transaction, everyone just decided to move onto a chain where it doesn't exist". (Also, you are correct that I was
