You are diverging from the context. Here we call BCH cash, which is not a token but real source of value (backed up by POW)
semantics. But fair enough. To your original point, basically i think dividend paying tokens are the future & whatever 'gas' they pay out is the future of cash. Hence BCH needs tokens
They are always over priced. There's no real way to give them value and if I believed in that vision I would definitely spend my time on Ethereum which is miles ahead of others.
It is & i do. But BCH doesn't need ethereum level complexity but it does need more than e.g. nano. There's a goldilocks zone an BCH needs to occupy it.
