Infrastructure inversion refers to the scenario where newer technologies depend on the existing infrastructure of older technologies that were initially developed on the foundation of those older systems.

A classic example is the transition from horse-drawn carriages to cars and paved roads. In the early days of automobiles, they had to navigate the same bumpy and uneven roads that were designed for horse-drawn carriages. This made early car travel slow, uncomfortable, and challenging. However, as more paved roads were built to accommodate cars, the newer technology of automobiles gradually became the norm. Interestingly, even the old technology of horse-drawn carriages benefited from the improved roads, allowing them to travel more efficiently.

Similarly, consider the evolution from telephone lines to the internet. When the internet first emerged, it relied on existing telephone lines to transmit data. However, telephone lines were optimized for transmitting human voice communication, not data. This resulted in limitations such as slower speeds and occasional noise when connecting to the internet in the early days. As technology progressed, dedicated internet cables and optic fiber were introduced, allowing for faster and more reliable data transmission. This transition improved internet connectivity significantly and also humain voice communication that became transmitted as data.

In the context of

#bitcoin   , it integrates various technologies like computation, electricity, the internet, and even traditional banking systems. Just as cars adapted to paved roads and the internet transitioned from telephone lines to dedicated cables, Bitcoin has undergone transformations of its own. It has developed ways to generate its own energy for mining (renewable energy source), designed specialized hardware (ASICs) for efficient computation, established a decentralized network structure similar to the internet, and challenges elements of traditional banking systems by providing an alternative form of financial transaction and storage.
