Apparently Matonis is both " Bitcoin Chief" and also " Bitcoin's executive director" now. Not "The bitcoin foundation's executive director" but " Bitcoin's executive director". http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/bitcoin-chief-advises-to-invest-in-digital-currency-only-if-users-can-afford-to-lose-114030200294_1.htmlIn the past Matonis has generally seemed to be an upstanding guy, which is more than I can say for his peers on The bitcoin foundation's board. Let's see if he does the right thing and asks the journalist to correct this clear factual error (in the title of the article, no less!).

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators. So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

It's funny, because back when the Foundation scam was still running, they actually kicked Matonis out. Now that it's floundering and the vesserats are abandoning ship, they put him back in. And clueless idiot that he is, he accepted. Hey, clueless idiots with too much vanity: STOP DOING THIS. It's stupid.

Wow how lame of him to describe himself as s "EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BITCOIN" As for the topic title, you should always only invest money you can afford to lose when dealing with risky investments. bitcoin is no exception to that.

This looks to be a classic mistake, but given the way the Bitcoin Foundation acts I wouldn't put it past them to pull this kind of dick move.

Matonis is sound. I'm sure it was the journalist that made the mistake.
