The bitcoin foundation is pointless IMO. They bitcoin users themselves should vote and decide major decisions, crowdfund bitcoin for the developers that work on the bitcoin core. Foundations will always be corrupt since they are run by a handful of people. The whole bitcoin community should be the foundation that makes the decissions.

The objective of bitcoin is to free the people from the corrupt stranglehold of existing financial system and here we are, again faced with the same problem. Sadly, the core issue here come from within led by greed and hunger for power. It's the trait of the human civilization.

Pretty sure the correct answer here is B. Some follow-up on the affairs of TBF after Janssens post: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-foundation-funds-board-divided/ |

TBF does not represent the bitcoin community. The board members are a group of power hungry businessmen who wants a name in the bitcoin community. TBF allows scammers to be silver/gold members and did nothing to promote bitcoin. They are to blame for their own mess.

I think they're pretty much all to blame (except the most recent members, maybe). They all knew what was going on and chose to ignore it. maybe even chose to follow a direction that would bury them further. Anyways, we probably don't need them, and who's to blame isn't a big priority now. They should just dissolve the foundation and end all this crap talk  |

"TBF does not represent the bitcoin community." - True , but still there are many people that think they do, because their lack of knowledge, or just by asumptions. So its concerning for us as a community also whats happening to TBF. @op its their own fault, i mean what kind of financial strategy is to spend that kind of money on secretary, and god knows what else they did. They need professional financial manadgement if they are to represent even remotely bitcoin core development. cheers |

The foundation is irrelevant. What we need is a bitcoin chamber of commerce type of organization. One that actually assists bitcoin businesses and one that actually does outreach and works for the good of bitcoin rather than selling over priced memberships that give credibility to some of the shadiest people and businesses in the bitcoin world.

First, majority of the blame should be slapped to the incumbent board members. Second, Janssens should also be blamed. Problems of the foundation shouldnt be publicized. Deal with it inside the foundation. |

TBF was founded by scammers. They violated their own by-laws from the very beginning. And declared Satoshi as one of the founders. |

The problem is that TBF is a centralized solution around a decentralized software, there will be problems forever. We need to rely on zero leadership idealy but doesnt seem like its possible anytime soon. |

Yep. Bitcoin isn't to blame for sure. I just think it's the way the organization is and runs. There's too many people vying for power and when you can easily buy your way into it it's always going to bring in the corrupt members who are just there for their own business interests and complications will ensue. |

I couldn't agree more. It's unbelievable to imagine how much some of the members were getting paid, considering this was a non-profit foundation. |

If many members are shady and are accused of bad things... in short... you can blame anyone, whole organization, and thats how it is |
