Then let's start another foundation to address the issues the BF is weak on. This is how polycentric/anarchic/emergent order works.

I am working on it, believe it or not.

However, it's not just legal documents. I need a level of force and funding -- that will take some time. I don't have the clout these men have but I can get something similar.

Good luck with that. Gavin, the owner of Bitcoin, already declared his foundation (who's purpose between other is to pay his salary by the way) the "official" Bitcoin foundation.

This makes me think:

Satoshi never wanted to have a clear face. He never wanted Bitcoin to have a real face either. The whole point was it to be a P2P protocol much like BitTorrent. It existed anywhere it was useful: On independent sites and services. He never gave himself a title nor legitimacy. He let Bitcoin be Bitcoin. I would love to be shown otherwise.

Now, Gavin, he probably wants a central protocol controlled by him like he's Linus Torvalds, the leader of the free world when he's only been a fraction of what Bitcoin is.

Where did Gavin use the word "official" that you just quoted?  Be precise, please.

He can't because like I pointed out, Hazek, Atlas and the others assume things, make up words to build arguments, then twist words, ect.

Many arguments have bearing, its a shame the debaters are usually incompetent and dont know how to build a valid argument

He did put "official" in quotes, but in any case there's nothing stopping a second (or third) foundation from also claiming officialdom, if that word actually even means anything in the context of bitcoin.

I personally am happy that the Bitcoin Foundation was formed BUT also happy that people are suspicious of it, and I'll be even happier if competing foundations are established. The beauty of a natural order in the hands of the people is that competition is a check on centralization.
