Title: [2015-12-15] Two Board Members Exit as Bitcoin Foundation Seeks Funding Post by: Sturgeon on December 16, 2015, 02:05:58 AM Bitcoin Foundation board members Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens have resigned and been removed from the trade organization, respectively, following a disagreement over the future of the advocacy group.
At an 11am EST meeting today, long-standing disagreements among Bitcoin Foundation board members came to a head over a vote on whether the organization should be disbanded. Both Harper and Janssens voted to shut down the foundation. In a statement, Bitcoin Foundation vice chairman and BTCC CEO Bobby Lee said the organization accepted the resignation of Jim Harper following the vote, a decision Harper confirmed to CoinDesk calling it "non-acrimonious". http://www.coindesk.com/harper-janssens-exit-bitcoin-foundation/ |
