Bitcoin Foundation: Where on Earth Did all the Money Go?

[BruceFenton]

Bruce, I am not accusing anyone directly. I dont have the time, or the evidence.

But did it occur to you that no matter how "squeaky clean" someone is that they will still be attacked?

[BruceFenton]

Then, brags about being rich.

You think $12k is "rich"?

[Bitcoinpro]

Brock Pierce is running the whole show now. Put that in your pipe and try to smoke it.

There are seven board members, each with an equal vote.

It's amusing to see speculation that there is some sort of power grab as if people involved have snatched the Ring of Sauron from Lord of the Rings.   Likely everyone involved has more money on our phones than the foundation

Hmmmm...

First, LOTR reference.

Then, brags about being rich.

This is really difficult.

Hmmmmmm...

Ok Frodo, you're going to Hollywood!!!

yeah but we are talking about dirty rags here

[BruceFenton]

Not sure what your point or goal is

[Gleb Gamow]

I, for one, welcome our new transparent overlords.
Leave Bruce alone ugais.

Bruce, for 10% omission I'll sell memberships & ...do other stuff.

But I already tossed my scarf. 

Dudes, I have first dibs on Apple, with THEPOLICYCOUNCILCOM INC being next on my list after I finish reading the tax filing. (just finished cooking, serving and eating dinner, hence behind)

your not the one to be big noting yourself about goals

[BruceFenton]

Bruce, Is the Junior Scientist position still open? Also interested in Vice presidency, if that's still up for grabs.
P.S. Have you considered MLM membership drive?

I know this is an attempt to be clever, but I don't get it, sorry.  Ask a real question, of if you have a specific critique of something I've done, happy to reply

[BruceFenton]

Do adults really have time to speak in cryptic nonsense?   What specific action have I taken that you have a problem with?

They would be scrutinised. Goes with the territory I fear.
I want to wish you luck Bruce, but if you sit with Brock, I cant.

I'm only one person. You carry on. Thanks.

[Gleb Gamow]

 let me be clear. I'm not here to speculate. I'm here to suggest to you that:

a. If you don't know the history of your own foundation, then you're probably a potato; and
b. Nobody wants anything to do with Brock Pierce, chairman of the board of said foundation.

I do know the history of the foundation:  they had embarrassments, terrible board members, mismanagement, massive waste, PR disasters and wildly excessive spending combined with some good things done as well as a big drop in Bitcoin price.

As for Brock, he was elected by a majority of members, so I wouldn't say "no one" wants him.   Do you have a specific accusation about him?

With all due respect, All, I'm backing away from this subject in spite it was my research that uncovered the majority of Brock's past, with Brock even patting me on the back - twice - for my Google-fu skills, same true from the Radar reporter and a couple others I've opted to not name.

I have a question for you BruceFenton. What exactly are you trying to achieve with this and with the Foundation? What is the plan in the short and long term? Are you trying to raise more funds? Do you simply want a new and clean Foundation? If not this then what else?

[BruceFenton]

I do know the history of the foundation The Nazi Party:  they had embarrassments, terrible board members, mismanagement, massive waste, PR disasters and wildly excessive spending combined with some good things done

Fixed.
Welcome aboard, Bruce. Wash the windows, hang a few curtains, and remember: the stench of prussic acid is easily masked by today's potent air fresheners.

Godwin's Law didn't take long to take hold.  

Just to be clear, are comparing me and others involved in a non-profit Bitcoin group to the Nazi Party who killed 6 million people?  All because the previous administration wasted money?

Is that correct, or was it just an attempt to be funny with a Nazi reference?

Don't make me post your tweet depicting your proposed $250,000 USD donation.

This is a community not particularly enamered with banksters. You're not squeaky clean by most Bitcoiner standards. But we're treating you with respect; anyway we're not attacking you. I personally appreciate that you are so willing to come clean about someone else's mismanagement. But the way I remember it, all the good guys left for the MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative when TBF imploded.

Whoever's left got to sit with Brock at the kiddy table. So to speak...


@Fatty My phone is worth more than that.

I know some pretty rich people, and they ain't keepin $12k on their phones. If you're all lumbering around with all you money on your phones you really should be more careful. Those phones are "precious" (Giggle, giggle! Ok, I'm not as good at LOTR references as you).

its the actions that BF didn't take was the problem and u got those right pretty well

I wonder wat his idea an attack is considering the reputation of BF

people are being nice, he definately has a forked tongue and his

intentions here are very questionable as to wat his goals realy are

seems like some kind of baiting stunt

[BruceFenton]

its the actions that BF didn't take was the problem and u got those right pretty well

Again, what specific act that I was responsible for are you upset with?

All joking aside it'd be good to see his answer to this ^^
