I appreciate this move from Bruce. It is better to keep the founder clean from all the scams.

This is equivalent of removing Jesus from Christianity.  Just because he didn't specifically found your church (foundation), doesn't mean he's not the SOURCE of your religion.

In Crypto We Trust

I support Bruce in this as a member of the foundation.

Sometimes it's appropriate. If your church is a shitpile of ignorance and hatred, you don't deserve to be associated with Jesus. The Westboro Baptist Church, for example, fully deserves to get raided by time-traveling Crusaders from the 13th century.

Bruce doesn't want Satoshi's good name sullied by the past shenanigans of the foundation, that's all.

Bruce is doing what he can to change this perception, and ceasing the exploitation of Satoshi's name is a great start.

Let's not have the Bitcoin Foundation be as self-aggrandizing as most modern universities. They're not "acknowledging work", they're cleverly associating themselves with famous smart people for marketing purposes.

Which is exactly what the Foundation did by pretending it was in any way associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. Bruce is correcting that mistake, he is also the only reason I now wear the foundation badge as my avatar.

The fact that NO ONE claims to have ever met him ,and only communicated through email/this forum seems to fishy.  Also the fact that none of his BTC has been moved seems to reinforce the fact that its not just some random guy, and more likely has some sort of intelligence background.  Makes me uneasy about btc.  I say remove "him".

This is the founder..

That name shall stay there till bitcoin is dead.

(S)He is the creator of bitcoin, not a founder of the foundation.

They are talking about the Bitcoin Foundation, not Bitcoin itself   (satoshi never had anything to do with the bitcoin foundation they just listed him as a founding member to appear to have cred).

Can we remove Bitcoin from the Bitcoin Foundation name?  Ha!
