Topic: Brock Pierce implies Bitcoin Foundation resigned unintelligent. (Read 5925 times)

Meanwhile, davout still have my 1,132 BTC that he stole from me under the guise of some InstaWallet "hack".

Or, do you believe that Lemon Way, Bitcoin-Central's bank, was well-versed in Bitcoin longer than it posting on Twitter three days prior to said "hack" asking how to get some bitcoins when they could've walked to Paymium's office and get some?

Until I'm reunited with my investment, I'm going to continue to drill deep, posting anything I deem relevant, whereupon with the help of others, Bitcoin-based entities not worth their salt are going to fall like the house of cards they're built on.

These motherfuckers have shown time and time again that they don't play fair (looking at you Paul Snow), so why should I let them have all the fun. It's Go Time!

PG, all you're doing is taking the smallest amount of fact and stringing them into a fake / implied story. Anyone can do that -- I can imply that aliens were behind apollo 13 based on supposition. I think you're either schizophrenic or just delusional. A lot of what you post I know to be false. I'm sure you'll start stringing me into your theories eventually. You don't really know what's happened or what's going on. It's all just guesses and supposition based on the modicum of public information.

What's even more amazing is people actually believe the drivel. But then again, it is the internet.

reminds me of that line from V for Vendetta.

I'm sorry, but a man in my position survives by taking every precaution.

15 years ago, M & C Estate was regarded as a "Male Brothel" throughout Hollywood. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that one place where a 17-year-old heterosexual lad flushed with cash would not hang out, especially when, at the time, he could probably legally fuck mid-teenage pussy?

If a pastor of a small town is accused once of leaving a strip club the next town over, his flock would surely dwindle. Yet, with hundreds accounts of various credibility, we are told to not believe anything anything written about Brock but, at the same time, dissimilar articles from the same sources are used as fodder to espouse why Bitcoin is good for mankind, i.e. the Fed is bad, mmmkay!

"Hey, Brock. I think those twin freshmen chicks want you to fuck them. Why don't you ask them out on a date tonight?"

"Can't, dude. Marc, Chad and I already made plans."

"That's cool, dude. Then, I can have them?"

"Here's a couple hundred bucks. Knock yourself out!"

"The first one I got was during the mybitcoin.com days. The second one..."

That is my main issue with his election. It does not matter if he has been found guilty of anything. Just the extreme nature of his past controversies (cannot be more extreme than a past involving pedophilia) will hurt bitcoin. People outside of the BTC community already read news and share misconceptions (did you hear the one about the guy that owns bitcoin? he stole everybody's money and now bitcoin has declared bankruptcy  ).
This election of Mr. Pierce will only further tarnish bitcoin.

or maybe it's about time to remove the bitcoin foundation, a 6million$ fondation that does nothing good to bitcoin and only brings bad reputation and troubles right now, isn't bitcoin about dis-centralization? why would a group of people host the rest of the bitcoin hostage? why someone who has 10k BTCs should have more right than someone who has 1K btc or 1btc for that matter, if it is bitcoin interest we are talking about here, and we want to spread bitcoin to the maximum of people which by default will not own much bitcoins like me and will have to pay top $ for them I think the least to do is to consider their right as well. The idea of a foundation is good and necessary to defend bitcoin interest especially when facing governments, but the reality here is the opposite millions of $ in donations yet we don't see major contribution and only bad reputation right now and naming someone like this guy as the head of such foundation discredit every single hope I had left for this fondation 

well, this is why i'm not as bullish on bitcoin as most other people seem to be. a lot of the "to the moon" people think that bitcoin will solve a lot of the major problems in the world and eventually become a world currency. i think it's going to solve minor problems (like providing a hedge to hyperinflationary currencies and remittance payments), but the underlying root cause of most of our major problems is greed.. and bitcoin isn't going to remove that from the minds of the big players in the game.

You're right, Bitcoin has become a political tool just like fiat. Everyone that always wanted Bitcoin to replace fiat should be pleased. I think he has little chance of getting business support from core members of this community but he may not even want that. If he could develop and promote (with the help of TBF) a product to reach as yet untapped users then he would profit. Circle fits the bill of a product that will bring Bitcoin to the masses. No one here would ever use Circle. Joe Citizen already gives all his financial info including SSN to banks, PayPal, Amazon, car dealerships, mortgage companies, pretty much anybody that asks for it so why not Circle? They could end up making a tidy sum of money from the average dumbass and so can the pedo.  

but he had to have known that if he were elected, people would be up in arms about it.. over his sordid past. and the thing is, sociopaths boyfucking scammers are usually pretty smart.

By legitimizing himself in his quest to buy Gox for a dollar. I guess he expects his position to add credibility to Sunlot.

That's the plan as I see it anyway.

ha, this sounds no different to me than politics. you can "buy" votes, as in money = speech. what i don't quite understand yet, is how does he turn this into $$$ and influence going into his pockets?

KnC Miner bought a $100k platinum member spot which presumably comes with a large amount of votes in the election. Plus his own Gold company.

isn't mr. beauregard the name of a dog for southern people (or something to that effect?). i do declare.

I think "Beaugas" is more like "Beau" for the guy's name, Beauregard ("Beautiful look" in French), and "gas" because he is, according to himself an "Anesthesiologist, Epic Anesthesia Physician Builder".

So, while I appreciate your reading between the lines, my 2 second detective work yielded different results.

Two-Bit Idiot says the only thing Brock Pierce looks guilty of is having shady friends as a teenager, calls allegations "last century", declares him an "upgrade"

WOW ....wow,woow......that is big lol

brock pierce: this news is 15 years old, kind of how i like my boys.

I still find it really hard to believe Brock Pierce placed high enough in the election.
Hasn't this community been pierced enough already?

 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 but I cannot be anywhere near certain of that at this point in time. Add to that many past/present Bitcoin Foundation board members are obviously extremely unworthy of their past/present positions, and that's what finally forced my reply and voice here.

 Make no mistake about it; this isn't about anyone's brand of politics or whatever else, but instead it's all about the concern of a group of self serving, self absorbed clowns leading the Bitcoin Foundation and acting mainly for their very own benefit more so than anything else.

 One fiasco after another has proved this to date. This Brock Pierce fiasco is only the latest in a long list of fiasco's concerning the leadership, or lack there of, at the Bitcoin Foundation.

 Like the vast majority I am all in favor of a representative body for helping lead Bitcoin.

 The  Bitcoin Foundation is an overall embarrassment, and somewhat of a stain on Bitcoin itself, if that's even possible, which fortunately it's really not. Nothing can stop Bitcoin, that's apparent. But many things can slow it down and hinder it, including poor leadership.

 What I am certain about is that 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.

 The very mixing of industry business leaders onto the Bitcoin Foundation is already conflicting enough, perhaps far too much. Then again 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.

 I also believe that soon this all blows over as drastic changes are made to come about at the Bitcoin Foundation, or another Foundation altogether as Bitcoin's growth continues to increase.

 As for all the resignations at the 'Bitcoin Foundation'...outstanding! That's a good start.

 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.

 Far too often leadership organizations devolve into self absorbed political bodies such as the past and present  Bitcoin Foundation. That needs to end.

 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

The Bitcoin Foundation is not stupid, for that's why they strategically placed Brock Pierce's board seat in a room next to a end table well-stocked with magazines so that they can keep an eye on him.
