The market doesn’t seem to accept OP is Base’s token. When Jesse was on Bloomberg recently, even Mike Novogratz asked multiple times when Base will launch a token.

Are people just cynical about the relationship between Base <> Optimism? 

What am I missing?

I don't see OP as Base's token, but also it's true that Base doesn't *need* its own token. ETH is the token more than anything.

I think ppl like Novogratz just want another exciting avenue to make a ton of money off an airdrop, and I can't really blame em.

Maybe it could still happen one day if gov regs improve...
