When Jack Dorsi tweeted “Open Source everything” and pumped Elon Musk, Silicon Valley was suffering from a group panic. Here’s the reason: they are not afraid of the open source. They are afraid of what they reveal their business models.
Let’s be clear about something: The greatest great trick was ever convinced that the closed systems were necessary for innovation.
Think about that. now:
-
Apple closes you to their environmental system
-
Google follows every step
-
Meta has your social contacts
-
Your Amazon has your purchase log
But here is what the silicon valley does not want you to understand: made of trenches of paper.
Real innovation does not happen in the walled gardens. It happens in the open:
-
Linux operates the Internet
-
Bitcoin amended a revolution in financing
-
Wikipedia overcame Britanica
-
Bethon converts computing
Here is the billion dollars of dollars, which they terrify: In 2025, closed systems are not only unnecessary – it is a responsibility.
Let’s disintegrate what the “open source everything” means:
-
The code is transparent
-
Innovation without permission
-
The value accumulates for users
-
Governing development societies
-
Competition pays excellence
Playing book that they do not want to see:
-
Open protocols overpowering closed platforms
-
Distributed networks won central control
-
The ownership of society exceeds the extraction of shareholders
-
Transparent systems overcoming black boxes
The revolution is not only possible. It is inevitable.
Every day we wait:
But here is the place that becomes interesting: the same companies fighting against the open source have been built. Your iPhone? It works on the open source. Google Artificial Intelligence? Built on the open source. The infrastructure of Facebook? Open source along the road down.
The greatest paradox? They make billions by closing what should be open.
The next wonderful technology companies will not be built on secrets. It will be built on transparency. They will not close users. They will prepare them for free.
Think about that:
-
Communication protocols
-
Social networks
-
Operating systems
-
Health data
-
Financial services
Everything can be open. Everything should be open. Everything will be open.
The scheme is present. Technology exists. The movement exists.
All we need is the courage to build it.
Welcome to the open source revolution. The walls come down.
Are you ready to build in the open?
A trillion dollar chance is not to build better walls.
It is all to tear them.
