RE: Apple vs. Google - Closed Versus Open Systems - Book Club #19: "Steve Jobs"
Open and closed source could be likened to Decentralized and Centralized systems respectively.
Can't actually use the case of Apple as a yardstick for judgement or comparison but note that both has advantages and disadvantages.
In the long term, I believe Open source is better but with some great rules attached
Yes, they definitely can be compared to decentralized and centralized systems. Centralized systems provide us with ease of use and less headaches, but decentralized systems provide us with open access and choice. My belief is that the world needs both centralized and decentralized systems on a case by case basis - I think we're going to need a structure that looks something like a decentralized system with a few centralized bodies to govern the macro issues.
Exactly! What I do tell people
As much as we do want the decentralize system to full force, we still need a bit of centralize system to propel the force neede for decentralization to a higher momentum.
Fiat is still needed no matter the level of hatred some Crypto enthusiasts have for it
Exactly, there will always be a need for something that is at least partially centralized!
