I don't know what's funnier in this case, the fact that the Bitcoin Foundation apparently still exists, or that Roger of all people is considered an 'Honored Speaker'.
Maybe I missed something happening the last few years, but I remember the foundation going down in flames pretty hard.
I dont think they went down in flames completely. They just changed direction.
They hired a known pedophile to the board and started selling child porn on the deep web for BitcoinCash. LOL
I'm guessing that must be the Brock guy who was a child actor in some semi-big movies, right?
That or they're adding more shady people with weird links to pedos...yikes.
I was joking but yeah, they did hire that Brock pedo.
The Bitcoin Foundation was never a serious organization. TBF was a collection of the initial criminals that controlled bitcoin. They had a lot of clout with the core bitcoin users of the early days and were able to scam tons of money from forum users for membership fees and donations. Roger Ver was one of the founding scumbags along with his criminal co-conspirators Mark Karpeles, Charlie Shrem, Peter Vessenes and Gavin Andresen. All of them ended up being ether grifters like Vess or were outright sent to prison like Shrem.
They are gone now. I think they were desolved in 2015-16 because it was discovered the grifters, perverts and convicts were hiding the fact that the organization was completely insolvent (they stole all the money and closed the doors).
