There exist many ways to implement an internet packet transmission/communication protocol. TCP/IP protocol is one.
In the same way, there are many implementations of cryptographic value transmission protocols. The Bitcoin (BTC) protocol is one.
For reasons of network effect it happens that in each case only one eventually "win" and becomes the standard protocol.
I and many here are invested in the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol, the only one with any kind of significant network effect.
Lol, so you've invested in TCP/IP? How much are the owners of TCP/IP getting for their investment, and who do I owe money to for using it?
Everything has a significant network effect, until it doesn't. Otherwise all the shitcoiners would be farting through silk by nao.
