Post by: Dr. Pepper on April 18, 2015, 04:17:00 PM Yeah right. Now tell me, who the hell in their right mind would want to donate money to the bitcoin foundation and what would they get in return? I really think they're going to need to look at alternative funding methods or just become a charity full of volunteers. I wont be sad to see the foundation dissolve or disappear any way so it can do what it likes in my opinion.

There shouldn't be a central authority by any means, but a readily accessible group of knowledgeable people is a useful thing. Title: Re: Will Crowdfunding Solve Bitcoin Foundation's Woes?

The bitcoin foundation needs a "face" on bitcointalk to listen to the real bitcoin users. When they are doing a good job, more are willing to donate. |
