It's hard to criticize something that is still in the planning phase. It really seems as though they are feeding Bitcoin to the bears by making them wait until Goldilocks finds just the right fit. Anyone trying to raise funds to make Bitcoin super awesome now won't even bother because you guys will take all their investors away. I'll just wait for someone to build a better mousetrap.
Well I think its the endgame for a while but there will be building blocks all around before we get to it
Either way I see it as 5 years in dev time away and then a few years after for implementation and usage to rise
They also haven't thought of everything. B^3 layers are probably not possible with Ethereum. Sure, it has great potential for B^2 applications such as contracts, but large enterprise applications may be beyond its capabilities. I expect development efforts for Ethereum will abandon it when money starts going into Bitcoin development to use the Ethereum ideas. Many nations grew their economies by copying the pioneering work of so called capitalists.
A possibility at the very least but it does provide a framework and rough guideline by which future ideas and applications on the Bitcoin network will be based, kind of like drawing a sketchpad of where you want things to be in 5 years and then other people looking at that image and adding or changing their contributions to help address particular aspects of it here and there.
A mesh of different ideas and what not.
Information sharing does have its applications and economies most certainly do grow from using other peoples ideas on large scales.
And its not like you can copyright an idea at least at that stage so innovations will still occur in phases based on a rough guideline based perspective
Not quite sure what the B^2 and B^3 layers are and if I'm thinking of are the same applications you are can you define that part a bit
Assuming the OSI model and the issue of data link layers versus network layers but would like to clarify that
