The founder of ETHEREUM (ETH) Vitalik Buterin is betting on open source financing, not public goods
Although “common good” may not actually be general or good, technical and social concepts open source are clear, stable and beneficial to citizens. Also, they have less weaknesses for “social games”, Ethereum founder participated in his new blog publication.
Vitalik Buterin’s Ethereum (ETH) praises the open source on the concept of public goods
In yesterday article It is called “We are talking about financing public commodities and more about open source financing,” is tackled by Vitalik Buterin again. Resource customization problems towards the “public public” and “open source” work.
He admits that in most situations, the concept of the public good is often used as part of marketing novels rather than providing something truly valuable to everyone.
Also, there is always a risk of falling into a “bias of social desire”, which may lead to the financing of what looks good, not what is good.
On the contrary, the term “open source” has a clear and well -known definition that stands for decades, as Borin admits. Comparing the lists of some concepts of open source and public commodities, note that “real” public goods such as clean air or lightning in the streets have a lot with the open source.
A long road to open the source in Web3 and beyond
For example, the research and development available to the public contributed to air cleaning worldwide, and so on. As such, converting resources into such projects seems to serve as a smart move to ETHEREUM (ETHEM)
It looks like converting the focus from “public goods” to “open source” is actually the best thing to do. The open source should not mean “it is equally virtuous to build anything as long as it is open source”; It must be related to building open objects and sources of the maximum value of humanity
As it is covered by U.Today previously, Vitalik Buterin is repeatedly discussed the benefits of the open source in its articles on society and technology.
A year ago, amid the madness of global artificial intelligence, he called for making computer interfaces open source to prevent them from being central.
This may be another step in transferring decentralized values beyond the encrypted currency.
