Microsoft buying GitHub is very positive for the future growth and expansion of cryptos. Microsoft must see tremendous growth in the future of cryptos and they are getting themselves positioned and established.

Microsoft is a business and they want to make money.

Ah Microsoft embracing competition then squeezing it to death feels like what happened to Skype all over again!

We need a decentralised blockchain based version of github, once EOS has launched I think this should be feasible.

I do not think it will have a major impact on Cryptocurrencies as the projects themselves are the clients and could seek alternatives although not many have gotten the transaction that GitHub has. It could also be positive as Microsoft continues to involve itself in innovative technology which could opens its doors to blockchain through the data it will get owning the business.

yes I agree, it is more a good move for Microsoft, than to affect crypto in bad or good way.
Also Git is an open source, so anyone can use it. As it comes the the hub, anyone can create similar type of hub, and start hosting services. Specially if some people would start migration from Github (because it belongs to Microsoft now), so there demand would be there too.

In the longer run, this just shows that Microsoft os looking seriously into cryptos and blockchain, and wants to "keep the muscle", not to fall behind. When such big companies as Binance, Coinbase are growing massively on a daily basis (not only making profits, but purchasing other companies, and growing that way).

I do not feel it will impact crypto as such, coders will, and are throwing a justified (in my opinion) hissy fit as Microsoft are a bunch of clowns.


I will be doing exactly as @marketingmonk said and moving my code off github and onto a GitLab VM hosted elsewhere. It is certainly a shame that this has happened but it really is no big deal. Life will carry on and crypto will continue to grow.

Your bitcoin market information is very informative. Great work bro. I like that so I resteemed. Thanks @marketingmonk

Lehitlah your future will be more visible shine. As you do now, improve! Then you will look more glass with a high number. Greetings from us @razi04

Oh nooo... Asking for crypto donations. You must be on a slipery slope. Upvoting of course. It's not much but I'm all behind. Thanks for the great content you provide.

About this topic, I understand the contrast between the two industries. But I see why Microsoft would back such an innovative concept. They already have softwares with collaborative functions like word or excel through the cloud...
