Token economies recognize and reward fans and evangelists, making them integral participants not just spectators. In a sense, any token economy is a "joint venture" between the developers / creators of the platform and the community of consumers they seek to serve.
In an ideal end-state, cryptocurrencies / crypto-collectibles / digital assets crystallize cultural value into liquid token economies, giving end-user communities a tradable currency whose financial value should reflect the strength of the bonds that keep them together.
