#Bitcoin development is often compared to the "early Internet".

I've been thinking it's more like #Linux:

- Assembled from decades of past research.

- Reviewed and improved by thousands of passionate and brilliant enthusiasts.

- Can be and is "forked" for different use cases or approaches.

- A "base" system upon which modules can be connected to expand functionality.

- The invisible layer upon which a new world is built.

- People depend on it constantly, without ever interacting with it directly.
