Do we really need Bitcoin Foundation?
As a decentralized currency, a centralized organization is totally inappropriate。

Yes, we need it but they should remember that bitcoin is decentralized .... and their influence should not be so high, because without a large consent their decision be equal to zero.

EDIT: And yes, Bitcoin is bankrupt in the news incoming...

Dogecoin is only an altcoin, like litecoin and all the others (but their old initiatives are very good).

Aren't they just developers of Bitcoin Core ?

How can they control bitcoin if bitcoin is decentralized currency ?
I think foundation is no needed anymore

They don't control Bitcoin. It's a member association who is collecting money from members and use it to pay some of the devs so that they can focus fulltime on bitcoin. Furthermore they do PR and some lobbying as fas as I know.
It's like Mozilla Corp.

Who decided who gets to be the main devs? The Bitcoin Foundation must have a big influence over them considering it pays them. It might not completely control Bitcoin, but it must have a big influence on the main devs, which gives it a certain amount of control over Bitcoin.

The problem here is that "no one" can real control bitcoin as technology, if tomorrow the "dev team" will release a new update and the large quantity of the miners don't agree with this update .... what will happen? So I don't care about bitcoin foundation, they should work as "volunteers" and not employees.

no organization or anyone for that matter should claim to have control over bitcoin in the first place.

They don't claim to have control over bitcoin. That's just what O. Janssens claims

I don't why the concept of foundation exist in the first place. If we are so firm on decentralization, should it be that no organization or anyone for that matter should claim to have control over bitcoin in the first place.

power corrupts...you need some kinda rules/setup to tweak the bitcoin core...and perhaps pay for coders etc.....not sure ...how does it work for linux stuff?

no idea ...but does not bode well if there is not someway to 'herd the cats' on how to do improvements in code at least ....so some kinda fix i guess is needed.

just another bad result from bitcoin price 'tanking' 2/3 in price from jan or so
