Oh how I was wishing Andreas was speaking in place of Charles Lee or the Ripple chick at the NYDFS hearings.  Things would have been much smoother.

They see him as a liability.  The foundation is dominated by statists who want to play nice with regulators.  

Ha ha, finally someone who understands the matrix we are in.

Kludge,

Is he active participant in Bitcoin Forum? I wonder.
No. He was banned a long time ago. He went by Atlas and a bunch of other monikers I don't remember.

Not banned at present:

I doubt he's Atlas.

Ech. Thanks for reminding me I need to request to have my membership revoked.

Kludge,

No. He was banned a long time ago. He went by Atlas and a bunch of other monikers I don't remember. Did you know all of the letters of "Atlas" is in Andreas' full name? Wow. Amazing.

If you do a Google Image search of Andreas, as I do every day, you'll notice he tends to wear a lot of blue. Atlas loved the color blue so much that he only used blue-colored lightbulbs in his room. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/so-i-changed-my-bedrooms-lights-to-blue-bulbs-68493

I wouldn't dare suggest to Andreas while face-to-face that he is/"was" Atlas, though. He'd probably punch me in the kidneys.... for blowing his cover, obviously.

You know what the problem with Andreas is to most people? I'll tell you he likes liberty and truth and most people don't want liberty or truth, they want you to tone it down watch what you say compromise, regulate and get along and keep is safe. Andreas is not that man that's the problem with him, and most who are for interacting with government are like that Andreas is not , I listened to his blood almost boil when some guy said like it or not you will be regulated Andreas almost exploded had hard time containing himself.

Just for the record I like Andreas but I"m a looser to most people the average "educated" "successful" "respected" people.

How do candidates get "put forward" for a place on the foundation?

I had same question going in mind about our respected Bitcoin Foundation that decides what to update or not. Or better say gives us option to update between orange candy and mango candy by hiding strawberry candy.

Andreas doesn't need a "leadership" job at the foundation.  He's too valuable for that.  He needs to keep doing exactly what he's been doing.  Trust me, he knows a lot better than people here how to best utilize his talents and time.  You guys should just try to support him by donating funds (btc) to him at his website and spreading the word about all his kickass videos on YouTube to people who are interested in learning more about Bitcoin.    Just sayin'.

Aye, aye captain!

We do not need. But, we must fight one thing at-a-time. We can get rid of Bitcoin Foundation later.

It's a nice thought but he said he doesn't have the necessary coding skills; though he has the technical abilities to know how to best move bitcoin forward.

If it happened bitcoin would be more successful but it seems unlikely.
