      Conspiracy theories about the @BTCFoundation "controlling" #bitcoin core development, this time by a board member:http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/31e6jh/the_truth_about_the_bitcoin_foundation/ …

      1/ A #bitcoin protocol standards effort should be applauded, not derided with fear-mongering. Ask yourself: does IETF rule the Internet?

      2/ #Bitcoin is an open source project. Users in OSS projects can fire developers at any time, by (a) not upgrading or (b) choosing new devs.

      3/ Anyone who thinks @BTCFoundation "controls" #bitcoin by hiring more devs does not know how Internet/OSS software development works.

      4/ OSS is a system engineered to be inclusive, reducing barriers to new devs figuring out the system. Open - including dev processes.

      5/ OSS is a system engineered to put the users in control. It is more transparent when dev inserts backdoor, or does something crazy.

      6/ OSS intentionally makes it easy to fire devs. Anyone can produce a competing fork at any time. Mike Hearn demos this with Bitcoin-XT fork

      9/ On the @BTCFoundation itself, there are pluses and minuses. I was there at the beginning, suggesting @linuxfoundation trade group model.

          11/ @BTCFoundation was right org at right time in 2013. Tooks arrows from all sides, yet key lobbying turning tide against banning BTC in US

          12/ However, reputation of early @BTCFoundation funders (Gox etc.) and "trying to do everything at once" took its toll in 2014.

          14/ 2015 may see $1B in #bitcoin related investment. The "do everything" model is not needed anymore. BF must narrow focus/pivot.

          17/ @virtuallylaw seemed to be taking a rational approach: focus on funding dev and working on IETF-like standards & groups. Valid needs.
