Internet Protocol Adoption: Learning from Bitcoin

This position paper discusses two related questions: 1. Using the framework of network economics, what are success factors behind the adoption of Bitcoin (a cryptographic curreny), and can we copy them for other protocols? 2. Can we design more successful protocols if we have inband payment mechanisms to internalize the externalities that emerge during adoption and in steady state?
