Title: [2015-12-18] The Bitcoin Foundation Doesn’t Need Elections, Anymore (Op-Ed)
Post by: shane on December 19, 2015, 01:16:29 AM
As has been widely reported, Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens are no longer with the Bitcoin Foundation. As first reported here, the upcoming elections will be canceled and future board of director seats will be appointed and not elected. This all sounds really bad. Western sensibilities scream that democracy is always preferable to not democracy. But if the Bitcoin Foundation wants to continue, and clearly the remaining members of the board intend to continue it, then this is probably the only way forward.
