Question: What"s your opinion on the Bitcoin Foundation?
It is a great initiative and it will surely help for the success of bitcoin.  Keep on the good work, guys! - 88 (40%)
It seems ok but the goals and means to achieve them are not clear, are they? - 38 (17.3%)
I don't think it'll be usefull and truly I don't care much as long as the code stays free software - 10 (4.5%)
It's a bit suspicious, as it very much looks like the beginning of a centralisation/politization of the project. - 70 (31.8%)
It's wrong.  So wrong.  Bitcoin does NOT need that and now I fear the project will die from inside. - 14 (6.4%)

Sorry, i do not have the will or time to discuss or try to convince you that LTC sucks, you are going to find it out yourself.

I wish you good luck, i hope you get very rich by using Litecoins, but i seriously I am not joining that wagon.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I don't think anyone should try to convince anybody to use Bitcoin or Litecoin. I do think it's helpful, however, to offer intellectual reasoning on any given point regarding them and let people make up their own mind. That's all I ever try to do. Thanks for the discussion.

Ok, I think this topic has been sticky long enough to get a decent sample and I think if anything, it's clear as day that Bitcoin Foundation doesn't have that broad of a support and that there is a significant percentage of the community who is at least highly suspicious of it.

I think this is an important fact that we can always point to if and when they try to assert something else.

My personality type: INTJ - please forgive my weaknesses (Not naturally in tune with others feelings; may be insensitive at times, tend to respond to conflict with logic and reason, tend to believe I'm always right)
