What do you guys think about this?

No association. No formality. No governing body. No central control. It all would go against the foundation tenets of Bitcoin. The trade off for that freedom is that there is no single message to refute the FUD or bad press. That's OK. It's the individual adoption of each us that stands up against the negative press. Our individual action gives the community strength.

Agreed. No, no no. People can say what they want about bitcoin, but it
doesn't make it true, and 'we' as the bitcoin community have no duty to sway
public opinion. This is a currency, and 'we' are but users of that currency. Didn't
there used to be a Bitcoin Foundation that ended up being corrupt as hell? That's
exactly what would happen, or similar, if it's tried again. We don't need such a thing
and I vote for no.

I strongly believe that in order to come off professional Bitcoin's founders and a team of financial professionals should form an "assocation" so they can directly publish statements
against any bad news or any banker labeling Bitcoin as "fraudulent". Right now, I feel like there's not one single person who can be blamed if something goes wrong and this is the exact
reason why lots of people feel uncomfortable buying the Bitcoins. Bitcoin needs a face. Right now, it's not linked to anything. It's too mysterious. I never see any publications whenever there's bad news and
this is not good! What do you guys think about this?

I think it don't need one. Even if you say that it will be a body to " publish statements" for those who label bitcoin as fraudulent, in the end, they will be standing as a government of this currency. Yes in the early stages it will be really smooth, but as the time passes, and a lot of issues being need to resolve, they will be having a decision to form the leaders of this currency and bitcoin will become centralized.

This is the answer I would have said also. Anyway, no need to do that apparently. Trying to put bitcoin in a box is a step backward from the original vision of the great Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin became famous and trusted as it is right now. Why try to disrupt the growth with an association? That is trying to reshape bitcoin, which is not good at all.
