I find it interesting that Bitcoin develeopment projects tend to centralization. Let me explain:

Year is 2005. Linus Torvalds creates Git in because someone suddenly wants to monetise the labour of thousands of open source enthusiasts. The company BitKeeper hosted the Linux kernel for free for years and simply changes its licence terms overnight. Opensource under attack.

Fast forward ... today. Bitkeepers attack was successfully fended off. Git is everywhere. But now what? Most repos are hosted on GitHub.

Did Microsoft aquire Github for only $7.5B because of their well known Opensource ethos? 🤔

Now what's next?
IMHO it may be worth checking out alternatives: either the big ones (Gitlab), or maybe sth. like Codeberg[1], or self hosting, whatever ...
