I guess Gavin needs to get paid? I hope the foundation goes the way of the dodo which it probably will if they can't afford to pay their members.

When will people stop being impressed by 'big names' and 'powerful' organisations and start thinking most of them have your welfare as last on one big friken list of priorities. Its embarrassing to read on a Bitcoin forum. A desperate need to be accepted by the powers this technology is designed to fight. Who do you think groups like the NSA get all their tech knowledge to screw the hell out of you on a daily basis.

Damn it people, get some balls.

Time will tell if MIT will be a better option than the so hated Bitcoin Foundation. From what I understand this looks like a step forward.

The news was first detailed in a post penned by former White House senior advisor and Digital Currency Initiative director Brian Forde, who today officially joined the university-run research laboratory.

Not sure how I feel about this, sounds to me like the U.S government is getting far too closely involved with the Bitcoin source code.

Yeah, I'd say that's pretty big news.  They need some stability for sure.

Sayonara Bitcoin Foundation!  The only thing you were good for, Bitcoin Core, is now in the hands of MIT.

All in all, great news for Bitcoin overall, as Gavin and company will have state of the art facilities to work from and much needed funding for the Bitcoin project.  This also means MIT will be highly networked with universities across the globe, meaning Bitcoin will grow exponentially faster than if they stayed with the Bitcoin Foundation.

Kudos Gavin!
Very exciting stuff, I hope some of the great minds there pitch some ideas for bitcoin and we see some new development come along.
