It doesn't show that prison is better. It shows that a person with initiative can thrive in nearly any situation. There are people making 6 digits who grew up in trailer trash families molested by their relatives. There are also people who grew up in middle class families in their mid 20s without an education or job prospects.

They wouldn't actually exchange fake assets for real assets. They just show they have the ability to quickly get the assets if they need them. With these tokens that would be a huge problem as they are not at all the assets.

Think of it like this. If I say I will give you a kilogram of platinum if you win a bet, that isn't considered too realistic that I could come up with the platinum so the bet being payable is uncertain. So I need to go and buy a kg of platinum, and then it is certainly payable.

But if I say I will buy you a beer if you win a bet, there is no need for me to waste money buying a beer ahead of time as we both know it is quite easy to reasonably locate one. Now imagine this but I try to use tokens as the reasonably locatable item. This would be quite problematic if it were true. Nothing shows that it is. But a lot of people would like it looked into.
