RE: The Big Long – Contrary to Popular Belief, Digital Assets Do Have Intrinsic Value: Part 1 - Digital Commodities - 02/17/18
I think the most valuable coins will be the native tokens of underlying blockchains with entire financial systems built on top. In other words, the base layer will be the most valuable - and the most likely base layer will be POS coins such as ethereum, cardano, neo, rchain possibly. Coins built on top of these chains will have value but won't have 'root' value, so to speak - think auger, BAT, Maker. It remains to be seen how this will actually play out long term.
"the base layer will be the most valuable" I agree with this.
This is very similar to how computers developed. The companies that became the most valuable were the ones who had developed the most used operating systems - hence Microsoft and Apple. All the other companies designed programs based upon these OS and (almost) all computers came with these operating systems built in.
So same with the cryptos - the dapps will be written based on an underlying base layer, like now with Etherium.
