Digital Infrastructure as a Board Game
summary
Frames digital infrastructure as a board game mapping web1 (HTTP/HTML on TCP/IP), web2 (centralized social platforms where followers as currency drive virality), and web3 (layer‑1 blockchains with KYC/AML as table stakes and incentives enforced by smart contracts). Claims: converging token taxonomies, voting by stake or energy, TVL as a success metric. Operational proof: BCB Group runs BCB Payments banking rails and BCB Prime trading, reporting about $150 billion payments volume and ~300 clients, showing the banking‑into‑crypto plumbing already works.
