‌Thought of the week from Marty Bent:‌‌‌
There are a lot of low hanging fruit products to be made out there that simply combine bitcoin with other open source software projects.

You can buy control of companies and proof of stake networks but you cannot buy control of Bitcoin. Owning more bitcoin does not give you more control of the Bitcoin Network.

Bitcoin is extremely resistant to change by design.
