Jihan Wu: Early Open-Source Projects Often Evolve Into "Benevolent Dictatorships"

On July 8, 2017, Jihan Wu — Co-founder of Bitmain and Co-founder & Chairman of Matrixport — said in an interview at The Future of Bitcoin Conference in Arnhem, the Netherlands, that open-source software governance often naturally evolves into a form of "benevolent dictatorship", as top contributors typically possess overwhelming technical capability and influence. He noted that Bitcoin was initially led by Satoshi Nakamoto, who made major code changes with minimal discussion. After Gavin Andresen became the lead maintainer, the community gradually shifted toward a "design committee" model, where every modification must undergo cautious review, shaping the governance structure that defines Bitcoin Core today.
