Why does Storj use the STORJ token?

To me it brings absolutely nothing that their token is based on Ethereum. Does it bring anything to you? Smart contracts don’t matter for payouts: it’s just accounting/credits to add. You could also remove the held amounts rule completely if you were to credit tardigrade accounts~. And at least suppliers could start using the service more.

It’s just more waste. ACH/SEPA payments are FREE…which really raises the question of why Ethereum? in the first place, if not for the marketing/hype/(supposed) coolness~. :sunglasses:
