Very helpful to my understand of what is going on with all these tokens.
With this in mind though, I wouldn't count out the generic tokens. I remember the early internet being millions of niche websites and that eventually evolved into a few generic platforms where niches could grow inside them like reddit or facebook or even my arch-nemesis, Ethereum.
It could be argued that hive engine itself is that platform but the problem is that it allows for an unlimited amount of coins for every purpose where a single generic platform coin split amongst many communities could create more scarcity and competition between communities for resources.
As you said, its very early and I barely know what I'm talking about. It's just a possibility that stood out to me.
Great article!
