“The internet assumed NOTHING, and it won because it had the basic, robust, open building blocks upon which all the innovation actually occurred. The same thing has happened with Bitcoin over the last 15 years and is now starting to happen with Nostr.

And it’s right on time, because the gateways to the internet have centralized to such a degree that the very topography of the web is changing. Access to this open bazaar is being threatened because the applications who were once gateways, have started to become gatekeepers.

To fix this, and to fundamentally fix the internet, we need to upgrade the Internet stack and establish a new suite of superior products, services, and applications that compete on value, not on gatekeeper economics.” --Aleks Svetski

My observation on the below article.

Bitcoin as a model stack added to the 20th century OSI model.

The Evolution of the Internet
The internet has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades. What started as an open, decentralized bazaar based on the internet protocol has now become a more centralized, platform-siloed experience.

The Path Forward
By examining the history of the internet, we can begin to discern a path forward to escape the trap we have found ourselves in.

Bitcoin as a Model stack added to the OSI model
In this context, Bitcoin can be stacked on top of the  20th century OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model for the “internet of value” stack. A decentralized, open framework for enabling the secure exchange of digital assets and value.

Just as the original OSI model provided a standardized architecture for interconnecting different computer systems, Bitcoin offers a decentralized protocol for the peer-to-peer transfer of digital value without relying on centralized intermediaries. This aligns with the original vision of an open, decentralized internet.

By studying the principles and architecture of Bitcoin, we may be able to glean insights that can help guide the evolution of the internet towards a more decentralized, user-empowering model in the 21st century.
