However I'm not sure that these two groups will necessarily have to be in a state of war. I think both con coexist. Being libertarian and pro-anonymity does not rule out endorsing profitability - and vice versa.
In my opinion Bitcoin is designed as a decentralized, pseudonymous, trustless system which will automatically lead to a shift towards more libertarian values, because controlling such a system is expensive and will have adverse effects on the system's efficiency. Opportunistic investors will certainly not support governmental control of Bitcoin if it hurts the system's efficiency and profitability.
Ultimately all parties will realize that there is much more to gain than to loose from the decentralization and full fungibility of Bitcoin. The wind of change that stems from Bitcoin is much too strong to build walls...
ya.ya.yo!
may be moderates on both sides can co exist...but extremes do not , if you look at the trailer for dark wallet on you tube you can see they state that the bitcoin foundation exist to compromise the core value of bitcoin..
How can you coexist with this sort of contrasting opinions
The Bitcoin Foundation is not necessary for Bitcoin at all. They're just a self-proclaimed marketing entity that does not represent the entire Bitcoin community.
Multiple versions of Bitcoin Core have been developed without a foundation. Programmers don't need a foundation to code. Bitcoin makes individual and project-specific donations easier than ever before. There is no need for the administrative overhead of a foundation. It just wastes resources. Both sides can agree on that.
ya.ya.yo!
