Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[delphic]

I just saw this on Reddit:

https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/the-bitcoin-foundation-to-remove-mark-karpeles-from-their-board

 

The foundation serves as a figure head for the Bitcoin foundation,

Yo dawg.

Wow, signatures are piling up on that petition. If they put it on Bitcoinwisdom the candles would go through the roof!

The Bitcoin Foundation represents no-one but it's members.

By signing the petition, non-members are lending credibility to the Foundation by implictly recognising it. That might not be a great idea, considering it's recent history.

As a non-member, I do not intend to interfere with the internal workings of the Foundation.

I would however sign a petition asking the Foundation to act with integrity and to stop pretending they represent the 'Bitcoin community'.

China finally banned Bitcoin? Huobi out of business? Trading stopped.

Bitcoinwisdom still shows trading going on as usual.

How much does membership cost? Surely a refund won't "break the bank"?

1.8 BTC I paid 

Woah! Do you get a vote with that?

Now it's around 0.04 BTC.

From reddit:

He paid for the membership, I'm not sure he can be removed without a refund.

So the Bitcoin Foundation has suspended the withdrawal of board members?

Naah, they probably just have their funds stored at Gox and are now being goxxed themselves. What a clusterfuck....  

[stompix]

He paid for membership, not for the board seat.

You'd think the other board members could have silently replaced the seat with an electric chair by now.

They're quite a bunch anyway. I speculate that Karpeles still holds the seat only because he knows uncomfortable secrets about each one of them but Jon Matonis and Gavin.

This is becoming too much of a conspiracy theory .
He's holding that seat because nobody till know had a real reason to throw him out , nor a replacement.

The only reason I don't have you on ignore already is because whenever I read your posts the price of BTC nudges up a little. Coincidence, possibly, but you've become a BTC good luck charm! Keep up the fud good work!

should read: gox re-opening btc withdrawel switch...   (mark will not pull this trigger, they will not open the withdrawel in the midst of the mother of all spreads)

According that Financial Times article, it seems that the bylaws of the Foundation required every board member to attend the meetings, but the Foundation then voted to dispense Karpeles from that requirement. 

They would have to ship him an electric beach-ball seat.

I hope they test their 'solution' on an isolated, air-gapped testbed first. If they have an isolated, air-gapped testbed yet.

They apparently didn't before....
