Intro: "If we're thinking of protocols as like a language for computers, centralization of these services is like corrupting the language itself." #[0] on Bitcoin Review with #[1] #[2] #[3]

Cyberspace captured, value extracted

To maximize shareholder profits

Inside walled gardens ruled by God-Kings

A breeding ground for moral hazard

If you're not paying then you are the product

If you're not obeying they'll pop lock and drop ya

"Maybe free speech but it'll cost you eight dollars."

"Wanna keep operating? Then follow our agenda."

If a set of rules is common understanding

Then a protocol is simply a language

So no one should be gatekeeping it

Let's redesign the stack to realign incentives

Replace these admins with open markets

Open source code so we can all build on it

Don't be afraid of a little competition

Make open protocols great again

Information and internet money

The foundation of commerce and society

Once they are free from centralizing gravity

We can build a free market economy

Since internet money can be cut to bits

And zapped across the internet

Then #value4value is where it's at

No need for ads we'll just zap sats

Log in and out with private keys

Don't need to dox our identities

And if the app sucks, there's no barriers to leave

I'll be on my way taking everything with me

Options are endless we're too busy building

Without wasting time on seeking permission

Lobbying for change and kissing the ring

In an open world that's no longer a thing

Run your own relay, run your own node

Now that it is all interoperable

It's beyond any jurisdictions control

That's how open protocols free us all

Information and internet money

The foundation of commerce and society

Once they are free from centralizing gravity

We all advance towards escape velocity

Into the light where truth is a virtue

Code does not lie when it's open and neutral

Incentivizes us to build and contribute

Now we're aligned in a virtuous cycle

Our civilization's building blocks

Are redefined by open protocols

Only a radical new form of money

Can make these radical changes possible

From trust to truth we all evolve

From war and conflict towards resolve

As power falls to individuals

Open protocols will free us all
