it's not exactly about possible token mechanics, models and utilisation (e.g. something like that - https://hackernoon.com/capturing-cryp...), but rather description of various projects.

It’s NOT about Tokenomics
It might be about the history of crypto, with a few interesting anecdotes that illuminate the points written about. But Tokenomics should be the monetary policy of crypto, the equations and graphs that make crypto work as more than a gambling game for risky “investors”. It should be the link of crypto to the physical world, which is harder than marketing papers would let you know. The questions that are burning are simply not answered in this book, but swept under the rug like all crypto projects do in order to get investments.

Lumanyan belajar ilmu baru. Hanya saja kayaknya antar bab kurang sistematis, jadi semacam comotan-comotan artikel. Apalagi dunia blockchain masih merupakan hal baru. Banyak istilah teknis yang baru sehingga sering kita bingung dengan munculnya berbagai istilah baru.
