Well yes the staking is also a feature and I guess it could increase yield. However I still think adding more utility besides that can only be better for the token's future. For example, I think CTP can be used to pay for subscription services so there is always some base value for CTP.

Yep. with fire pay and hive pay, there's plenty of ways to pay for misc services with hive and ctp. I wrote about this a while back (https://robwillmann.com/traffic-resources-leverage-fire-pay/) and there's a lot of traffic exchanges, mailers, and ad sites where you can pay straight up for upgrades with ctp.
I totally agree with you in this respect. The more use cases and ways that you can use a token, the better.
