Modern open source projects, like all organizations, need to have an underlying business model to be sustainable.

I'm with an open source crypto trading bot project (https://github.com/coinalpha/hummingbot). Our business model is to give away the tool for free and get paid by the exchanges and protocols that benefit from our users' collective trading activity. It's still early, but this model works; it allows us to staff a growing engineering team as well as 24/7 tech support for our users.
