First one coming out on Tuesday! "Fat protocols aren't new: What blockchain can learn from p2p file sharing" Even more bullish on tokens now. They would have taken file sharing to a new level

@backus some of this has been focused on the spectrum of decentralization for p2p successes and failures Would love to see an article taking the other side of the argument—user experience Ex: how many folks moved platforms for better UX, draw analog to existing crypto projects -
Have you read my “Fat protocols” article? It focuses more on market dynamics, but I talk about how people compete for UX a bit. Unfortunately, I’ve found it almost impossible to find numbers on how people switched from, say, eDonkey to eMule let alone why.https://medium.com/@jbackus/fat-protocols-arent-new-42d2c538db41 …

Looks like I know what I’m reading tomorrow.
Thanks John
