"We don’t build in to open because it's easy, we do it because it's the only way. Ability to be in control of your data, to know what is running on your computers, and most importantly, what and who is operating your money is key to escaping the tyranny of big tech data siloes, surveillance capitalism, and failed monetary systems.
