One danger I see is that if there is a value chain in place, then there might be a gorilla waiting on the other side of the bridge. As far as valuing a network, a 100-fold increase in nodes implies a 10000-fold (100 squared) increase in value. You square the number of nodes (actually it's n(n-1), but we can use big-O notation here) to get the number of connections, in a fully connected network. Fun with graph theory. Tom CF (edit) The correct formula is n(n-1)/2. Each node can connect to n-1 others. Each connection would be then counted twice, so divide by 2.
