Yet the Foundation is ignorant. I can't believe how many foul board members they've had already.

What about the truth of the allegations that aren't 15 years old?

Is it wrong to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for companies where the most significant business activity is a bunch of "soon" marketing via a Facebook page and a twitter account?

Depending on the size of the VC, Google+ and Linkedin juice are included at no extra charge.

I wonder if Froot Loops™ was started by a Cereal Entrepreneur.

Because in the eyes of Government and the broader public, The Bitcoin Foundation speaks for all bitcoiners. 

According to who?

Almost every major US regulatory decision has been made with input from "The Bitcoin Foundation."   There are some good people involved. Unfortunately the Organization is rotten to the core.

I was there that day of the recording of the video. Guys need to give him a break. Its flooding the boards already pretty bad.

Still not as bad as when everybody panicked over ASIC's.

You and I discovered Bitcoin via the same Google search - copper cents.

We caught up with Mr. Pierce on the day election results were made public at an event celebrating Sean's Outpost. Here is his response to the controversy:
