2. 3 Steps for World Domination with
Open Source Software and Communities
- Step 0: State of the World
- Step 1: Democratize Publishing - WordPress, Open Source Market Leader
- Step 2: Democratize Finance - Bitcoin, Open Source Blockchain Technology
- Step 3: Democratize Business (a.k.a. Everything Else) - Era of the DAC
The Conclusion (spoiler alert):
- We, the WordPress Community, have an
amazing Competitive Advantage in the soon to be
100% Open Source World.
3. 25 jaar Internet:
Perfecte organisatie,
gebruiksvriendelijk verpakt.
- Met Google vinden we informatie,
- Facebook en LinkedIn voor mensen,
- AirBnB, Booking & Funda voor onderkomen,
- Uber of 9292 voor vervoer
4. State of the Internet Today
5 Challenges to Fix ASAP
1. Data - mis usage (by purpose) and leaks (not by purpose)
2. Spread of wealth - monopolies
3. Censorship - demonetization (we don’t mind, or we don’t know, as long as
we can participate ourselves)
4. Inclusivity - 1.8 billion people are unbanked (we don’t mind, or we don’t
know, as long as we can participate ourselves).
5. Fake news - and e.g. clickbaiting (optimization for click / attention)
5. What if we would be living
in a world without
WordPress?
If, for example, Adobe had
the CMS market?

8. YouTube Demonetization
March 2017, YouTube: “Put in place changes that
would give brands more control over where their ads
appear.”

9. I have to TRUST …
- … YouTube, in not deleting my bread and
butter (for thousands of people it is, and
on Patreon the same happens).
- … Facebook, in not deleting my social
accounts (what would happen if Mark
Zuckerberg was from Iraq, where there’s
still a death penalty on being gay?)
- … Google, in not reading and selling my
email. But off course I trust Google,
because ... In their code of conduct since 2000 …

11. WordPress is a Text Book
Example of …
Community > Corporate
16. Centralization versus Decentralization
Corporate Structure Community
Closed Source Open Source
Centralization Decentralization
“Don’t Be Evil” ...
Monopoly Democracy
For Shareholders Interest All Interests Aligned
One can censor Hard to censor
Single point of failure Distributed, so hard to attack as a whole
23. The problems with
Finance
Inclusivity - 1.8B unbanked
The possibility to invest - accreditation, housing
Distribution of Wealth - Spotify
Hyperinflation - e.g. Venezuela

- < 21.000.000 cap
- 1 block per 10 mins

30. The Blockchain Era
- Basically the internet is fundamentally
insecure by design.
- Off course we have SSL, but if we want
to transfer or store value, we HAVE to
trust banks, PayPal and so on.
- With Blockchain technology we can
transfer and store value without middle
man.
- It handles logic too, programmable
value!
- Fixed amount of < 21.000.000
- Price set by Supply and Demand
- Everybody can join
- Transfer and store of value
