I have to change my mind to uncertain @MinimalGravitas brings up a lot of great points. i do see the value it being a network token but as eluded to earlier by @MinimalGravitas main driver"One of the unique strengths of Optimism is Ethereum Equivalence, it isn’t just EVM compatible, but is designed to operate almost exactly like mainnet. This means porting smart contracts across is as simple as possible, gas works the same, opcodes work the same, it means Optimism can adopt all the same EIPs as Ethereum with minimal extra work. Basically it’s an amazing advantage over just about everything else."
