“Being open source means anyone can independently review the code. If it was closed source, nobody could verify the security. I think it's essential for a program of this nature to be open source.” - Satoshi Nakamoto

Absolutely! Open source is the way to go.
With Bitcoin, anyone can peek under the hood and check out the mechanics. Closed source? No chance to confirm it's all secure.
For something as big as a new form of money? Gotta be open. Trust comes from transparency, not secrets. Keep it open, keep it honest!
