Bitcoin Foundation board members Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens have resigned and been removed from the trade organization, respectively, following a disagreement over the future of the advocacy group.
At an 11am EST meeting today, long-standing disagreements among Bitcoin Foundation board members came to a head over a vote on whether the organization should be disbanded. Both Harper and Janssens voted to shut down the foundation.
In a statement, Bitcoin Foundation vice chairman and BTCC CEO Bobby Lee said the organization accepted the resignation of Jim Harper following the vote, a decision Harper confirmed to CoinDesk calling it "non-acrimonious".
