Ethereum Monetizes Open Source

The article argues that Ethereum's open source foundation makes it the strongest home for open source financial software, using a cycling analogy: the largest group, or peloton, wins because it coordinates effort and conserves energy, and there is no finish line. It says Ethereum's inclusive design, including its comprehensible specification, multiple clients written in different languages, and multiple L2 implementations, keeps more participants in the pack. It also describes ETH as the native asset that flows through, secures, and coordinates this ecosystem, serving as both fuel and collateral, and says its value comes from network effects rather than profit margins or revenue.
