Another exciting episode brought to us by Oliver-----

During his journey to London, Oliver encounters the Bitcoin Foundation , a group of pickpockets more commonly known by the nickname the "Artful Dodgers", but Oliver's innocent nature prevents him from recognising this hint that the Bitcoin Foundation may be dishonest.
Oliver unwittingly falls in with an infamous criminal known as Karpeles, the so-called gentleman of whom the Artful Dodgers spoke. Ensnared, Oliver lives with Karpeles and his gang of juvenile pickpockets in their lair for some time, unaware of their criminal occupations. He believes they make wallets, handkerchiefs and promote cryptocurrency.

Oliver realizes too late that their real mission is to pick pockets!

On the other hand, Oliver—who has an air of refinement proves to be of gentle birth. Although he has been abused and neglected all his life, he recoils, aghast, at the idea of victimising anyone else. This apparently hereditary gentlemanliness makes Oliver something of a changeling tale, not just an indictment of social injustice. Oliver, born for better things, struggles to survive in the savage world of the underclass before finally being rescued by his family and returned to his proper place—a commodious country house.

Well done Oliver!

Well we cant trust anyone lets remember that, i dont know what is going on here but lets not think we can replace one set of humans with another or something.  Decentralized distributed power is needed in order for zero corruption.

of course not

These are just subtle reminders to the unwary. For example, "Don't let the gox guard the henhouse" and other wise proverbs. "Xtib's little book of Proverbs" You can buy it with bitcoin on amazon.

One thing noted here is that he dares to challenge the organization from where he comes from within. Overall, I think he made a right decision because by keeping mum and staying put or just pretend that nothing happened, will mean whatever brewing inside will only get worse and then continue to rot. What he has done by giving up the position in the foundation is a selfless thought and he knows that the best way to help bitcoin out of the mess and prevent one entity from pulling the whole community down with the sinking ship is by bringing up the issue in an open forum and make his views cleared and be heard and with the hope that things can change.

Whoa, Olivier Janssens' parents were child abusers? I had figured someone with a decent life had gotten rich. I guess the world isn't so fucked up after all

It's funny that when the money comes everybody in Bitcoin Foundation is happy, but when they ran out of money they blame each other and foundation itself. They say it's centralized. LOL. Seriously, you notice this when foundation money went to some people's pockets? It was wrong at the first place.
