I really don't think an encryption algorithm is a good example of something to keep closed source as it should be subjected to serious scrutiny.
That said, I generally agree, but it probably depends on the intended audience. Building something for devs? OSS. Otherwise go proprietary. Nobody who isn't a dev has bonafide reasons to want your source code.
There are reasons to go OSS even for projects not aimed at devs, but I don't think they work well with your monetization plans.
