Never dedicate your business to a platform without expecting them to clone you. 

Apple is the most famous example of a frenemy, and there are countless examples of this playing out in Silicon Valley.

Build the platforms, not the apps.

Apple prefers owning the end to end stack.

So for crypto, a product-driven protocol is close to Apple's approach of software-driven hardware.

I don’t like the “build the platform” mantra. 
It’s what leads everyone in crypto to build protocols instead of use cases.

I prefer “build something with real value, keep delivering more value”. 

This is another way of looking at what apples doing, as a side note.

I remember a time when people rooted for David, not Goliath 😄

All the "contact sharing" startups:

including many past apps like flashlight apps, screen casting to non-apple product apps, rotate/mirror/crop/flip video apps, etc

Another way of looking at this is that Apple adopts a feature as it becomes a commodified experience. They’re very safe.

So the further you are on the innovation curve, the safer you’ll be
