Paradoxically, for Bitcoin to remain decentralised and thus achieve its primary goal, it had to, among other things,
- Reveal the solution to the digital scarcity problem
- Open source the code
This is what made altcoins possible.
I also find it interesting that Satoshi himself was the first shitcoiner (he co-created Namecoin) 😅
Bitcoin couldn't exist without open source code, bc you would have to trust a third party.
