We're talking snailmail postage stamp utility tokens here.  USPS for example prints some unknown quantity of different kinds of stamps each year & sells them for a fixed USD price.  Some kinds hold value more than others.  We don't know their supply issuance.

It's only meant to require a sizeable amount to purchase if you're a spammer.  It's not really meant to be money, but nothing stops a person from valuing it as such I guess 

 I feel like I’m missing something here. Are you saying it serves a purpose to get Sats from one place to another but isn’t a replacement? 

 No, that's as absurd as pasting dollars on a paper envelope to pay the post office to send it. 

 Are you saying it’s worthless? Left side of bell curve here
