In a well-run country, governments should be like the firmware/ bitcoin base layer. They provide the fundamentally stable rails (basic infrastructure, basic regulation, courts, security) on which the two layers above operate.

Corporations and businesses are the hardware/ lightning network. They produce products and services that maintain and improve our standard of living.

Humans are the software or nodes that keep the two systems running and, even more importantly, keep the other two fulfilling their appropriate roles.
