Sask | Tokens aren't worth anything. It's the digital infrastructure that is of value in a new, digital economy. The token is the postage stamp on your transaction in the digital eco system of your preference.
If you are selling 4 barrels of oil to purchase one ton of sugar, why do you care if xrp is worth $20 or $0.02? Value of the token has absolutely zero effect on the transaction except perhaps a small charge to keep the system operating.
If I have $5000 dollars of goods to sell to a buyer, it does not matter one bit whether he sends me 2 or 20,000 tokens in exchange over the digital network. All that matters to me is when I receive those tokens, that they have not changed in value since we entered the agreement.
This is how this new digital system is supposed to work - conduct commerce with no bank. It does not require a token to have a higher or lower value, infact, it needs a token of stable value.
The assets being traded are what is of value, not the token itself used in the trade. How does it make sense that both the asset, and the token also must carry a high value? Even better, what if your token is very volatile in the transaction, like btc changing 10% in a week.
While block chain or other systems of financial transactions are of value, what people have not at all explained is why the token used must also have value higher than the equivalent of a postage stamp.
