You see, there's the crux -- if one's a billionaire, one is obviously hoarding money as in not using any significant amount of it to the benefit of society and definitely not to help open-source which is the topic of FOSDEM. Otherwise one would not be a billionaire. By this logic, billionaires are off-topic to FOSDEM.

Thus what are billionaires doing speaking on FOSDEM?


People rarely hoard their money as cash.

The benefit to society is in the companies they hold


The guy is famous for companies like Twitter and has a blockchain obsession... Pretty sure you can't just draw a conclusion he's a benefit to society. Def. a benefit to other billionaire shareholders tho. Still off-topic for FOSDEM.
