If the man hasn't been found guilty by a judge it's not our business to judge. Full stop right there. Anyway I don't care about the Bitcoin foundation and its members.

Post by: serenitys on May 19, 2014, 03:04:14 AM I think the btc foundation doesn't have any legitimate impact on public perception because by and large, most of the public has no clue what bitcoin even is, let alone a bitcoin foundation.
If people take an interest in bitcoin enough to educate themselves, then the foundation isn't going to be that relevant to them. If people have no interest in bitcoin enough to learn more, they care even less about the goings on of a foundation they know nothing about either.

But unfortunately, the media will drag this out into the mainstream after the next bubble pop, when they want to spread FUD to drive the price down again (to benefit their whale trader friends). Just like they did with all of that "We found the real Satoshi Nakamoto, he's Dorian!" bullshit. Just like now: Do you see any real bad news about bitcoin in the press right now? No? Do ever you wonder why that is? And do you wonder why there was an absolute avalanche of bad news just after the bubble popped? Why bad press then, but not now? Hmmm? Why did the media bad press end *exactly* when the downturn was done and all of the speculators finally left? Just coincidence? And you think that is air that you are breathing now, Neo? ;D |
