as you well know, I'm not a person who frequents this forum often, I'm a little shy and more "oriented" towards the local forum, italian of course
however this year I felt the need to discuss with you, I now felt the need to wish you a happy new year
not a normal or classic wish, a heartfelt wish
my path starts from linux and the open source environment, in the past in the various LUGs (linux user groups) I participated and fought to bring open source to the world
from a simple GCC compiler made by stallman we have come to have a free operating system and a whole series of tools and suites that make us free
I would never have thought in my militancy that even the economic aspect could be affected by our way of thinking
now we also have "open hardware" objects so I understand very well that bitcoin, open source, was an obvious and necessary step
I realize that I didn't immediately believe in the project, but since 2017 I have become a fervent acolyte who tries to "make people understand" that the bitcoin project can be their friend and not their enemy
so my happy new year wishes go like this, I wish you a more open source new year
--
I remember very well the strangled laughter of people who didn't believe when I preached open source, when I hypothesized open hardware
I remember very well when Steve Ballmer indicated the open source movement as a cancer
long exhausting battles that marked me and that forged me, i never give up
