Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

This statement is revealing enough. Most dictators would agree.  Roll Eyes

TBF fanboys don't like to have their primary source of self-confidence threatened. Relax, nobody will take away your cool TBF badge you've proudly collected...

I support Luke.
And who is Bobby Lee? For the sake of momentary profit, he recently added Bitcoin #9 aka Litecoin to his exchange. He helps to undermine one of the most important features of Bitcoin - finite supply.

Vote 4fryn :)
"None of the above" and Andres Bzurovski are tied for eighth place. lol

The foundation has become a silly joke to me now. They are so ineffectual and unnecessary that if they all spontaneously burst into flames and died tomorrow nothing would change. Bitcoin would just march on forward without them.

+1.
The bitcoin foundation has done nothing important, and we don't really need it.

They're not needed and if we allow them to follow their agenda it will hurt bitcoin. TBF is an undemocratic closed lobbyist circle which supports governmental overregulation and is betraying the heart of bitcoin.

And they are in it for profit never for the community development..

Bitcoin foundation: thank you for paying the lead developers salary, that's about all I can say.

This is not good thing as most ppl think it is.
Getting payed by "someone" makes that "someone" able to control you in a way.

Bitcoin should be open and not centralized / controlled by an individual or a group....this second part is failing harder as time passes and it will be main source of Bitcoin fall if it ever happens. I'm not saying Bitcoin will fail. Things can change any day, but if it does, it will be because of this (centralization and control that has it's source in fundation and ASIC's).

That's kind of a lame list if you ask me.

Looks like all the good candidates from last year are no longer interested in running. Shame.

I've never directly interacted with the foundation, only watched a few videos online.  I didn't like how they are US based and headed by a very un-diverse group of individuals.  Trying to control and lead the world again.   Now reading this article and seeing that individual members don't even get to elect their own board members I will no longer pay attention to thus group.
I had considered becoming a member at one point because I want to support all initiatives, but now that is out of the question.

Bitcoin foundation: thank you for paying the lead developers salary, that's about all I can say.
