This is how I see it:

Tokens are 'added' value to the ecosystem. Steemit is like a 'world economy' and within the world economy there's a lot of 'assets' investment vehicles, that can be structured in a way where communities grow the value together.

I see this as a "+1" that can be repeated many times. The tokens will in advertently creating more trading, movement of steem and steem dollars.

If anything, this suggests to me an increased 'compounding Network Effect'. Resulting in Stronger growth and maturity of the underlying currency - STEEM. It's Brilliant really.

More streams of support is a good thing for everyone. In a way, the 'tokens' are like 'derivatives' and derivatives can be quite cool. I do realize we have a financial market of derivatives that's ....well....a lot of different language could be used to describe it. gongshow, maybe best way to put it.

Community tokens could be a real cool social experiment to how in fact a derivative market can in fact work in ways that are mutually beneficial.

It's interesting because the ways of thinking here are a bit of a 'paradigm shift'. from traditional win/loss relationship math....to win/win mutual benefit math.

Thanks for the post. These are important conversations, that are necessary in directing and creating the best narratives for our mutual benefit.

Steem On, The Dream is Live

Ps, i wrote a post about this the other day after listening to the interview :)
