“If you want to create [something] hyper-scalable, that has network effects, that’s purely open source — decentralization is the only way. I can challenge anybody to challenge my assumption… Crypto adds a network aspect to open source that never existed before… Open source can go farther where closed source can go faster, but not as far as open source can.” — 00:44:46
Context: Why build on a blockchain at all; cites Linux vs. Windows, AOL vs. the web, Akash’s 250 contributors, and DoD experimenting with Akash because it can audit open source (00:46:11).
