Closed-source apps cannot be the future, even if they integrate bitcoin.
I am generally sceptic about false promises of "opening up later". This is not just about publishing source code. The whole product will have to be fundamentally different.
The people behind these project are afraid of competition. If you build on fear right from the start, you are for ever doomed.
Compete or step aside. Build #FOSS products. Many have done it successfully.
FOSS doesn’t work for all types of code, it’s not a “solve all” solution! It works for some and it doesn’t for some! Let’s not sell things based on a false black and white mentality! 🐶🐾🫡
The apps can still be sold even if the code is public but hardly any #foss projects do that... is it because the developers think they have to provide the complied binaries for free?
What? Who is talking about selling anything? We are talking about software being open or closed source 🐶🐾🤙🏻
Why are companies are hesitant to release their software's source code? The issue of funding/monetisation or lack of it is at the core of it. Almost all of the bad decisions made by foss projects and companies in the previous year including license changes stem from this...
The argument I tend to get from altcoiners against bitcoin. Disagree there.
If an idea only works with closed source, I don't think it's a good idea.
