Ever notice that the longest running and most impactful “world” projects aren’t from government agencies or large corporations anymore?

Manhattan Project: 5 years

Getting to the moon: 9 years

Closed source and finished 👆

————————————

Open source and ongoing 👇

Linux: 32 years and runs 90% of world compute

Bitcoin: 15 years and is transfiguring the world’s economic paradigms

Nostr: well, it’s a bit young yet but it’ll probably bury a few fistfuls of billionaires

Yeehaw. What other comparables are there?
