..that said, 'compute' - maybe as tokens - can become a universal payment system in the future. The token 'economy' is already way bigger than all cryptoscams combined (+ hash compute -> worthless vs tokens) and it will become almost as essential as electricity. Let's hope big tech ..ychos doesn't benefit from that development..
