Very severe blow to bitcoin

[RawDog]

Andreas Antonop's tweet is the worst news yet that I've heard for bitcoin. 

Looks like Andreas is done with the Bitcoin Foundation. Good. Screw the Bitcoin Foundation.

"I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency" https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/486926129409052672

The Bitcoin foundation has gained Pierce and lost Antonopolos.  This isn't going in the right direction at all.

[Lethn]

All the core developers who were with Bitcoin at the beginning are starting to leave, this could actually affect the price, especially if the Bitcoin foundation still has the ability to fuck with the network unless the community can create their own fork we all agree on.

Title is wrong it should be "Very severe blow to the bitcoin foundation, Bitcoin unaffected"

Yeah, headline way off.

People who don't know of Andreas (most of them) won't care and the foundation will go on and hopefully do some good despite their "issues."

And the people who do know of Andreas mostly dislike how the foundation is being run already. Plus he's said he didn't want anything to do with them in the past.

Very unfortunate, but Bitcoin will continue on.

Andreas leaving them is good news, not bad news, lol. Your title is waaaay off.

Name one thing the foundation has done to benefit Bitcoin. Seriously, maybe I missed something but I dont know what good the foundation has ever brought...

I second. Please change the title. And yes... it is a good news. Especially when the frontmen of the foundation are planning to roll out their own coin.

sorry for any inconvenience

These tweets aren't "real" and shouldn't be taken seriously.

[PolarPoint]

That is a actually good news. Andrea is obviously not going to leave bitcoin. There might be a chance for him to gather support to form a real "foundation" for the benefit of bitcoin. The current Bitcoin Foundation has done nothing for bitcoin.

We don't need to fork Bitcoin Core.

We have btcd.

We also have Obelisk.

Bitcoin doesn't need satoshi's client any more than the web needed Mosaic.

[beetcoin]

this isn't really a big surprise though.. andrea is popular among bitcoinres. it would benefit himself to detach himself from any affiliation with the bitcoin foundation's bad rep.

I hope this isn't the real RawDog from youtube, because he is nothing but a troll. The title clearly says so.

How did you connect the Bitcoin Foundation to be the lifeline of bitcoin?

Seriously?

That would be a glaring conflict of interest.

[TheButterZone]

Didn't AA just join the board?

[micaman]

aantonop IS bitcoin!
He should start his own foundation...

[RawDog]

aantonop IS bitcoin!

And Pierce is PedoCoin

there is no conflict of interest. those in the foundation only have one interest.. greed. pre-mining their own new coin and selling bags of crap to naive noobs is all about the greed, fully inline with their interests..

[leanne]

well, is it really important what the foundation does? we've seen incompetent people there before and scandals over scandals. it does somewhat hurt bitcoin but what do you guys and gals expect from a lobbyist organisation that tries to push their interests?

[justusranvier]

Not only is it an alt coin it is a really stupid alt coin - one of the worst ideas ever.

It's just a Mastercoin pump.

Too many investors are unhappy about getting stuck with a useless and illiquid failure.

This is true, Rawdog from youtube has always had it out for bitcoin.  Looks like the OP, whoever he is, is using that name to carry on the Rawdog tradition of narrow sighted, believe everything you see and hear on the news, instigation tactic BS.  I really can't stand that youtube channel.  And I tried to watch one of his videos more than once.  Can't do it.
