I think the potential of "community tokens" is still largely untapped, but we've been thinking about them all wrong.

A community token is made valuable by the number of *individual people* who have found away to align their own work with token upside.  Each person might do this in a different way.

In aggregate, this means that community tokens represent a bet on the network of "aligned members."

Right now, we think "alignment" just means holding. It doesn't. 

A community token is only valuable if each member of the community views it as their personal token.

Issue here: newcomers are discouraged because their work to create upside benefits ogs more than themselves
