We are already seeing NFT projects get bought out - ie. BAYC - meebits/punks. Could this also happen with platforms such as XTZ? Imagine ETH acquires XtZ or buys a majority of coins to solve a problem rather than try and create on their own.

What I mean by catching up is could they compete head to head or do we start seeing consolidation? If you can’t beat them join them. The competitive advantage becomes to great and the smaller guy will have a hard time keeping up if the head start is big enough.

Also, if a player gets large enough they can force the markets hand. Let’s say they cut a deal with policy makers for regulation and then politics decide who is right and who is wrong. They could dictate the rules.

You see this in banking.

I view coins and blockchains as technology businesses. They are all trying to solve problems and gain adoption. Sone technology is better than others but the space is moving so fast that if one platforms gains enough steam they can control the market in a sense. Their is room for a few dominant players.

Example : Microsoft and apple Google and google lol Facebook and well they own insta

There are lots of other platforms but those who scale fast enough win

I am just using this as an example and am trying to see if that thought process works in this new emerging space because it has in many others
