Andreas Antonop's tweet is the worst news yet that I've heard for bitcoin. 

Looks like Andreas is done with the Bitcoin Foundation. Good. Screw the Bitcoin Foundation.

"I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency" https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/486926129409052672

The Bitcoin foundation has gained Pierce and lost Antonopolos.  This isn't going in the right direction at all.

Title is wrong it should be "Very severe blow to the bitcoin foundation, Bitcoin unaffected"

I second. Please change the title. And yes... it is a good news. Especially when the frontmen of the foundation are planning to roll out their own coin.

Seriously?

That would be a glaring conflict of interest.

I hope this isn't the real RawDog from youtube, because he is nothing but a troll. The title clearly says so.

How did you connect the Bitcoin Foundation to be the lifeline of bitcoin?

this isn't really a big surprise though.. andrea is popular among bitcoinres. it would benefit himself to detach himself from any affiliation with the bitcoin foundation's bad rep.

All the core developers who were with Bitcoin at the beginning are starting to leave, this could actually affect the price, especially if the Bitcoin foundation still has the ability to fuck with the network unless the community can create their own fork we all agree on.
We don't need to fork Bitcoin Core.

We have btcd.

We also have Obelisk.

Bitcoin doesn't need satoshi's client any more than the web needed Mosaic.

That is a actually good news. Andrea is obviously not going to leave bitcoin. There might be a chance for him to gather support to form a real "foundation" for the benefit of bitcoin. The current Bitcoin Foundation has done nothing for bitcoin.

These tweets aren't "real" and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yeah, headline way off.

People who don't know of Andreas (most of them) won't care and the foundation will go on and hopefully do some good despite their "issues."

And the people who do know of Andreas mostly dislike how the foundation is being run already. Plus he's said he didn't want anything to do with them in the past.
