If BitTorrent had a token economy, I think we'd see
Strategic "seed pools" (think mining pools)
Long term seeding
Bounty markets for content ("100k tokens for HD Star Wars leak!")
Inter-tracker arbitraging (upload everywhere → easy tokens)https://medium.com/@jbackus/what-if-bittorrent-had-a-token-13d62a590aa7 …

Replying to @backus
A site I use allows users to submit bounties in upload credit for subtitles on obscure untranslated films. Works remarkably well even in a tiny niche community. I think it's evidence that even fairly weak "good enough" incentives can drive an interesting sharing economy
