>>As far as I can tell, owning an OmiseGo token lets you do absolutely nothing.

You know very well that the value of OmiseGo tokens is based on the token-compatible platform they have said they are developing, and not what can currently be done with the tokens. Leaving out this point is disingenuous.

It's not clear that their own platform gives value to their own tokens. They talk about wallets on their platform holding BTC or ETH.[1] Their own token mostly funds them.

It's absolutely clear, given the plan is to make OMG the staking token used for securing the OmiseGo sub-chain. It's right there in the abstract of the white paper:

>>It uses the mechanism of a protocol token to create a proof-of-stake blockchain to enable enforcement of market activity amongst participants.

It's no crime to be ignorant of a subject. It's intellectually dishonest to criticize projects while in such a state.
