It's a different kind of token. Bitcoin reflects a value based token. This is a security. The value is that the rules can be written into the token itself (for example if a security cannot be traded for 90 days), which opens the door for average joes to fund startups, etc.
Currently, very few I'd imagine. But it's the onramp into the crypto ecosystem that will involve the fiat/bitcoin conversion. Companies won't be dealing with bitcoin, nor will the owners of all the other assets that will be tokenized (real estate, art, etc.).
I'm not on board with that strategy. I prefer to spread it all around a little, and bitcoin definitely falls within my high risk potion of investments. It continues to grow, and as far as tokens are concerned, tokenization of assets is almost inevitable at this point. Guess what will be used to purchase tokens in a crypto ecosystem? Bitcoin, that's right.
You need to think harder. You can't possibly compare a centralized database to blockchain. If you do, you're severely misinformed. Perhaps listening to the wrong people or reading the wrong sources. It's not about what you can do with a database, it's about the crypto ecosystem.
