Food is...
perishable,
has short shelf-life,
has high carrying cost,
not divisible,
not replenishable, as in recyclable,
not resellable,
has fixed market price within certain time period,
and has value dependent on its own utility value as nourishment.

VERI is...
not perishable,
has indefinite shelf-life,
has minimal carrying cost,
has high divisibility,
recyclable,
resellable,
has dynamic market price,
and has no value of its own but dependent on Veritaseum's consultancy services to determine the value.

Notice you try to prove my point is wrong by using food as an example.
But now you said food is not the same as software.

Why do you keep avoiding the divisibility and recycle-ability/resell-ability features of the tokens as if they are none existent?
Strange.
Please read my last comments on how institutions bidding up the price will be beneficial.
And read why high token price with limited quantity will still satisfy market demand.
If you don't understand, the best is to read each line of sentence repeatedly over and over again, slowly, until you understand.
That's how I study things on my own on complicated subjects.

Update:
Microsoft OS license is...
not perishable,
has indefinite shelf-life,
has minimal carrying cost,
not divisible,
not recycable,
not resellable,
has fixed market price within certain time period,
and has value dependent on the utility value of the OS.

Please compare these features of Microsoft OS license to the tokens and spot the differences.

The advantages of being divisible, recyclable, and resellable should be clear to those that have the brains to understand that such features make the 98 mil reserve to meet market demand unnecessary.
