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.

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.

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.

+1 as long as you build the product also.

for apple: true but remember that being full stack when they started made a lot more sense. If it was easy for Meta to go full stack w hardware from scratch they would do it --> its hard if you don't start there, and its harder as time goes by to start there.

my point of view is that you need both: a platform and a killer "app"
