We recorded more than 1 hour. The toughest part was deciding on the edit points. Great spokesman, very genuine and friendly!

Seriously.

You're obviously still struggling to understand the basic concept behind a decentralized peer-to-peer currency based on an open source software protocol.  Bitcoin can't have an "official spokesperson".  Seriously.

No kidding.

What I'm saying is BittBurger was probably suggesting he be added to that list, which does actually exist.

I'm not interested in the politics of whether or not you particularly feel represented by the Foundation.

I frankly don't care what you're interested in.

I was responding to Bittburger's suggestion that someone can "be the official spokesperson for Bitcoin", which is absurd.  He didn't say anything about a list or The Bitcoin Foundation.

He misspoke out of confusion, laziness or lack of knowledge.

You are just being an arrogant prick, and taking his words literally, when any person with the IQ of a monkey can infer what he actually meant. Given that you not only fail to see that, but instead gave him an arrogant answer which really does not help in any way (either by making him see where he is wrong or referring him to the actual information he needs to understand); it had to be said: There is a Bitcoin Foundation and it has an actual lists of recommended spokesmen, regardless of what you feel about it/them.

So, if you wanna be a literal prick, let me tell, you're wrong as well. His words are not absurd given that there is actually at least one entity that can act as an official spokesman, and has done so in the past: Satoshi.

You're the arrogant prick.  (BTW I agree with what Andreas says.)  But for those who don't, they need to understand that there is not and can not be an official Bitcoin spokesperson.  If they happen to disagree with another Bitcoin supporter's views then they can still benefit from using Bitcoin.  Details and wording are important. Failure to acknowledge this will just lead to even more confusion than there already is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0CvAeNlku0&t=8m30s).  If pointing that out gets your panties in a bunch, then tough shit.
