Topic: Has The Bitcoin Foundation lost its fuckin' mind... - page 5. (Read 12012 times)
Maybe Brock Pierce could give his side of the story (as well as all the other stories) to a budding investigative reporter at bitcoin2014 in Amsterdam, he will be there apparently. Gotta say, it looks pretty bad from where I'm sitting.
Phinnaeus, wasnt it you that said you would quit from this forum, or am I wrong?
who gives a shit what they do? dont ever think about this foundation
dont care really about this foundation, it doesnt matter what they do

Lawsuit Against IGE Founder Brock Pierce Alleges Underhanded Dealing at Virtual Property Company
^what he said.
As far as I'm concerned the Bitcoin Foundation is irrelevant, they only have their name to make people think they are something to do with Bitcoin, it's a bit like how the Federal Reserve uses the word 'Federal' to make people think they're part of the government. Speaking as someone who holds to mainly Anarchist beliefs, they can fuck off, I can see exactly what they're trying to do and they're trying to make some kind of centralised company or group for Bitcoin itself, I'm grateful the devs don't really seem to give a shit and continue to release the code open source.
I don't know who is Brock Pierce, but having Bobby Lee leading the list, I tend to agree with you

...or have they opted to not do their due diligence when they included Brock Pierce on the list?
They already lost two members due to scandals, one of which I love, while the other is French. Now, they're buckin' for adding another to their venerable org covered with taint (double-entendre intended).
