Except in Model A the products have some utilitarian/recreational value to humanity (coats, iPhones, ect.)

In Model B the product is a transaction network that is horribly inefficient in terms of $$$ transferred per unit of energy input. It probably makes sense to buy Cocaine (even then other cryptos are likely more efficient energy wise/secure) with Bitcoin, it doesn't make any sense to buy a car with it when there's already a banking system
