I gently disagree with the unrelated term … I would use “…slightly correlated but not directly valued based on…”
There are thousands of tokens that have no real future because they have no real or no viable product to support the long term use of the token.
STORJ has both a real product and a viable business model going forward. As the storj network reaches milestones and various news platforms, the STORJ token has seen several surges in price over the last 2 years that I’ve been running my node. Without the real products backing the token, it’s likely STORJ would have below sh–coin level.
It would have been nice to have a working crystal ball in 2019… and I would have been decently rolling in the dough after my $0.08 STORJ pile of thousands of tokens hit $3.20 in 2021…
