It is mindblowing that roughly the same protocol design for the Internet Protocol (IP) has taken the internet from nothing to ~15B connected devices and has survived for 40 years through the period of fastest technological change in history. What lessons can we draw? A thread 👇

They run with immunity from intervention by (1) the people who originally wrote them, (2) the people who interact with them while they are running, and (3) even the people who control the physical machines that execute them.

For instance, it is already clear from the DeFi world on Ethereum that smart contracts have started to unlock a parallel financial system that is less reliant on top-down institutional trust. Instead, it builds upon the bottom-up, game theoretic guarantees of blockchain computers

So, that’s what crypto is all about in like eight Tweets, but what does any of that have to do with the history of the internet? The key insight is that a narrow waist is likely to emerge for blockchains as well. Let’s call it the “Narrow Waist of Blockchain Computing.”

The natural place in the stack for it to emerge is the game theoretic structure at the heart of every blockchain that unifies its community into a single, self-policing network—its consensus mechanism.

This kind of tight coupling limits the kinds of applications that can be built on top of them. Any computer that preordains the use of a specific programming paradigm or language, for example, unavoidably cuts down the design space of what people can build for it.

B. Salas-Manzanedo علي I suspect you'll see the same separation of infra and UI in crypto. In fact you already are. Early on in the Internet days, I ran a router in my dorm room :)

End of a great pwani workshop w/ my people on Cryptobaraza’s 12 month strategy & roadmap. This nameless piece from Creative technologist Anthony Muisyo was a gift to me. I am calling it M.A.P. ‘Make a Play’
