Look at
Ethereum. They implemented smart contract using which new tokens could be issued. Now, BTC fork
BCH has Simple Ledger Protocol, using which one can do the same. BTC HODLers got it for free.
Look at
Grin. They implemented MimbleWimble protocol for privacy. Now, BTC airdrop
MWC has implemented the same. BTC HODLers got it for free.
Look at
BAT. They implemented in-browser ad through Brave browser and rewarded end user. Now, BTC airdrop
CPD Token is going to do the same through CPD Browser. BTC HODLers got it for free.
If every new tech in crypto field goes to BTC HODLers for free, why would people invest in new tech?I don't get the point of this thread.Do you mean that people(including BTC HODLers) should pay for those implementations?
This is open source protocol.It's free to use and edit the source code.If all those "revolutionary" altcoin projects wanted to have any competitive advantage over Bitcoin,they would just patent everything and dump open source code.I guess that,in the crypto world,open source is a must and nobody would ever trust come "closed source" crypto project.
