On May 9th 2014, Brock Pierce was elected to the Bitcoin Foundation Board of Directors. His election has sparked outrage by some in the Bitcoin community. We caught up with Mr. Pierce on the day election results were made public at an event celebrating Sean's Outpost. Here is his response to the controversy:

A) why the outrage over Brock?
B) who gives a shit about the foundation?
C) WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT IF THE Ios KEYBOARD IS ON CAPS LOCK OR NOT?

Because in the eyes of Government and the broader public, The Bitcoin Foundation speaks for all bitcoiners.

You and I discovered Bitcoin via the same Google search - copper cents.

What about the truth of the allegations that aren't 15 years old?

Is it wrong to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for companies where the most significant business activity is a bunch of "soon" marketing via a Facebook page and a twitter account?

Almost every major US regulatory decision has been made with input from "The Bitcoin Foundation."   There are some good people involved. Unfortunately the Organization is rotten to the core.

Depending on the size of the VC, Google+ and Linkedin juice are included at no extra charge.

I wonder if Froot Loops™ was started by a Cereal Entrepreneur.

Yet the Foundation is ignorant. I can't believe how many foul board members they've had already.
