Ever notice that the longest running and most impactful โ€œworldโ€ projects arenโ€™t from government agencies or large corporations anymore?

Manhattan Project: 5 years

Getting to the moon: 9 years

Closed source and finished ๐Ÿ‘†

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Open source and ongoing ๐Ÿ‘‡

Linux: 32 years and runs 90% of world compute

Bitcoin: 15 years and is transfiguring the worldโ€™s economic paradigms

Nostr: well, itโ€™s a bit young yet but itโ€™ll probably bury a few fistfuls of billionaires

Yeehaw. What other comparables are there?
