A finite right derivative at zero would make the difference quotients eventually bounded. Therefore that event is contained in
For fixed , its probability is at most for each . By the normal distribution of the Brownian increment,
Thus every event in this countable union has probability zero. With probability one, Brownian motion has no finite right derivative at zero, which is the appropriate derivative for its time domain. No independence of the quotients is assumed or needed. This proves the required endpoint case of nowhere differentiability of Brownian motion.
