I don't hate Bitcoin. I think the facts speak for themselves, THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. is running Bitcoin now, Bitcoin is deeply linked to a United States corporation and Satoshi is a member of THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC.

Some people will like this, others will dislike it and most won't care or even know. Exposing the truth is not fear mongering.

If the general counsel of the THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. fumbled on its first document (the by-laws) by including Satoshi. What will it fumble next?

The Network says:

and to THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC.:

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. has even gone so far as to list Satoshi as a founding member in their by-laws. Without his consent and thus implying that Satoshi is affiliated with THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. to further strengthen their takeover of Bitcoin.


26/Apr/2013 Wall Street Journal - First-Quarter Growth, at 2.5%, Misses Expectations

And now its come out that "they" hold the Bitcoin trademark. Unbelievable.

And now pay for development of the official client. (Control the lead developer)

**** THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. now owns  you. ****

The problem is that they self appointed themselves as the representatives of Bitcoin and have the lead developer under their control. They've admitted they would be "happy" to be regulated. They operate out of the United States and as such there is now the true possibility that the United States can control the Bitcoin code.

Above you can see that somebody involved with THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. is trying to "use" you.


Additionally, they now admit they have other things to do as well as advancing Bitcoin. What is this hidden agenda?


**** Well there you have it, a United States corporation is trying to take over Bitcoin. **** 

Good luck everyone.

My comment on this topic was initially meant more as a joke. However, as I researched the "foundation" it became clear that things are not quite what they appear to be. Other Bitcoiners had concerns about the "foundation" long before me and I now stand with them.

Hopefully the development lead will come to the realization that there is a conflict of interest being involved with both Bitcoin and THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC.

If they are violating their own by-laws what else are they violating?

MEMBERSHIP CLASS   MEMBERSHIP DUES
Founding Members   10BTC per annum
Industry Members (Silver)   500BTC per annum
Industry Members (Gold)   2,500BTC per annum
Industry Members (Platinum)   10,000BTC per annum
Individual Members   2.5BTC per annum
Individual Members (Lifetime Membership)   25BTC one-time

It's interesting that THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. conveniently and casually drop the  "INC." designation at the bottom of their website at https://bitcoinfoundation.org/.

If they are trying to hide the fact that they are a United States corporation, what else could they be hiding?

Edit: I have removed the link to the general counsel. On further thought, there is no need to make this personal. Bitcoin is supposed to be fun.

Running "The Foundation" out of a US corporation is not really in the spirit of Bitcoin.

This looks like an opportunity to declare an organization that exists on the Internet. Something ground breaking would be to have the organization exist outside of a geographical jurisdiction. (Perhaps the .bit namespace)

I see documents like the following being useful for its Genesis:

Articles of Organization
Constitution

Perhaps Satoshi can step forward to draft the first documents and sign it with his PGP signature and put it in the Blockchain so, We the Bitcoiners can declare independence from our owners and work to protect and grow the Blockchain.

Yes, this is it. So it is a non-profit US corporation organized in the District of Colombia (Washington D.C.)

It is a Foundation in name only. What we have is a US Corporation. 

Hello,

Does anyone know where the By-laws are located for the Bitcoin Foundation? They are referred to here:

https://bitcoinfoundation.org/about/governance

Also, are there any sort of Articles available or filed anywhere which show the genesis of the foundation?

It would be interesting to see how the foundation came into being and how the members appointed themselves.

Thank you.

The issue is really quite simple, just don't vote for Peter Vessenes on the next election pursuant to the by-laws of the foundation. If members are really upset they can vote to impeach him. 

Also, clean the pipes before the first date, that will take the pressure off.

I don't like that address, do you have a nicer vanity address that I can use? Like:

1TheEndxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That way I'd feel more comfortable.
