Every blockchain ultimately competes for security, value storage, and settlement. That's not a choice - it's inherent to the technology.
When Solana's network goes down or needs centralized rescue, it's not failing as an 'app platform' - it's failing as a blockchain.
You can't separate 'blockchain' from 'money.' The incentive structure that secures the network IS monetary.
Bitcoin solved decentralized consensus and security first. Everything else is a trade-off that will eventually matter.
The foundation determines what you can build on top.
