The Internet of Money:

“when I choose an application on the internet to communicate with, I’m also aligning myself with a corresponding community. I don’t use Twitter just because it’s a convenient communication mechanism. I use Twitter because I also agree with many of the concepts and philosophies of the community of other people who choose to use Twitter…With currency, that choice is a much more powerful political choice. We have entered the realm of meta-politics, of politics by algorithm, of the ability for global communities to form around a common consensus of politics through the choice of currency.” (Andreas Antonopolous, The Internet of Money)

Oldest definition of Protocol I've come across:

• The collection of set forms of etiquette to be observed...

More Simply put:

• A set of rules governing the exchange or transmission of data between devices.

I bring attention to "protocols" because this is a key point in the changing landscape of the internet and cryptocurrencies. It's how things can work best from a starting point, Base sharing layer.

• If you are interested in cryptocurrency and the future of the internet - you are going to want to tune into the various governance models....aka protocols. This is significant.

• If you go back and study the beginning's of the internet and how it is layered, this will assist with opening up perspective as where we are exactly today.

• I will continue to open up this vast topic in posts to come.

Here is an Interesting podcast about Cryptocurrency and Investing in Protocols

When I was younger, I worked at a golf course and I cleaned peoples golf clubs all day while juggling other caddy-shack responsibilities...I created the attitude, "I Live to Give". I am reminded of this attitude here within my participation. We create the world that's best for everyone with this "Live to give" attitude...and I couldn't be more grateful.
