The early open source developers were almost universally very left wing. They were anti private property and believed that everything should be free.

Bitcoin is the most prefect form of private property ever invented.

40 years on, the open source movement is almost universally capitalist.

Did Bitcoin change us?

FOSS is absolutely not universally capitalist. There are definitely elements of Darwinism, but that is usually not profit driven.

Bitcoin is a perfect form of private property but the protocol itself is a commons; a point I feel some Bitcoiners contort themselves over constantly.

Capitalism is "profit driven" as much as anything else. Certainly no less than the money-pit middlemen bureaucrats of socialism. The true motivating characteristic of capitalism is supply and demand. Just like Bitcoin.
