 there is no similarity between #Bitcoin and #Linux

there was an open source unix for a long time, it was called BSD and it was built by students and postgrads at Berkeley University

there was numerous other open source operating systems over the years too. Bell Labs Plan 9, for example... Niklaus Wirth's Oberon

guess who is the biggest funder of Linux development these days?

just one guess, and if you don't know, then don't go talking about how it's anything like bitcoin
