Something I think is true that most people disagree with is that the importance of distributed-ledger technology is simply how it utilizes ledgers to create these tokens as an alternative to currency.

Stock prices are affected by metrics but the goal is to always monetize these metrics. Attributing a token to them turns them into an ends to monetization rather than just a means.

There's problems to solve going from there, but yeah I think going from unlockng value from users to unlocking value directly from use is a revolutionary shift.
