The current and past self titled, self absorbed 'Bitcoin Foundation' isn't worthy of Bitcoin.
Apparently many others believe the same things.
As far as I have been able to deduce only Gavin Andresen is extremely worthy to be in any leadership role concerning Bitcoin, thank goodness we all have Mr. Andresen leading the Development of Bitcoin and at the Bitcoin Foundation.
Maybe others too are very worthy leading the Bitcoin Foundation that are currently in leadership positions at the Foundation but I cannot be anywhere near certain of that at this point in time.
Like the vast majority (I hope) I am all in favor of a representative body for helping lead Bitcoin.
Yet the Bitcoin Foundation to date is an overall embarrassment. Nothing can stop Bitcoin, that's apparent. But many things can slow it down and hinder it, including poor leadership.
I am extremely concerned about many past and present members of the Foundation should have never made it to a leadership position at the Bitcoin Foundation in the first place, nor even been considered, nor should have an owner of any Exchange been the one to found the Bitcoin Foundation in the first place.
It appears this is more a self serving quasi-business-political organization that doesn't concern itself much about leading Bitcoin, but instead the members own personal business agenda's far too very often.
Stand up, be heard, make a stand, do what can be done to make things better, object when nothing else is possible, and if required stand aside and let it self destruct. And if nothing else at least sound out about what one believes and what one objects to publicly, and not merely behind closed doorways.
*************************************************************************************** As for the current voting requirements for positions at the Bitcoin Foundation; that too must end. At most a very modest enrollment fee to become an annual member should be all that's required to cast one's vote, nothing more, nor anything less than the BTC equivalent of $10 to $20 annually should be all that it takes to allow one's voice/vote to be heard/cast. When this finally occurs I will join, until then I will continue to cringe concerning almost everything about the so called Bitcoin Foundation. ***************************************************************************************
Make no mistake: The Bitcoin Foundation doesn't represent those like myself. I also believe the Bitcoin Foundation doesn't have Dorian Satoshi's blessing either, not after reading the Bitcoin Whitepaper more than a couple of times.
As stated before Gavin Andresen does have my full faith and support as do many others including apparently Dorian Satoshi.
Many others also truly help lead Bitcoin from all corners of the Bitcoin community, yet the Bitcoin Foundation doesn't seem to care for anything but a semi-dictatorial self along with of course grossly restricted voting audience for the said Bitcoin Foundation.
I only suggest to drop any possible conflicting personal political monetary beliefs when it comes to doing what's best for Bitcoin and it's future and open up the voting of all Board Membership to all Bitcoin Foundation members and keep those annual fees for membership at a very modest amount. Otherwise those on the Board at the Bitcoin Foundation can fully expect to be a lot more than merely challenged.
Caveat emptor
