I don't think I claimed that anything is a "guarantor of the future".

I am simply pointing out that networks are valued with reference to their size, not on whether their code base is unique.

Bitcoin and Facebook are two examples of this principle.

Indeed they are, I'm just pointing out that such can be fleeting. Facebook in particular is a good example of a second or third generation product gaining dominance.

I'm not sure "price discovery" is really what we're doing at the moment.
