There’s No Opting Out of Protocols
The internet didn’t just appear — it was built on open protocols, layer by layer, over decades.
TCP/IP. HTTP. Then the iPhone. Each step took 20 years. Why? Because protocols aren’t apps — they’re infrastructure. They take time. But once they’re in place, they’re unstoppable.
There’s no second internet. Just like there will be no “second Bitcoin.” Opting out is no longer neutral — it’s choosing to be left behind.
We’re watching history repeat itself. This time, in finance.
