You see Bitcoin today only because of Bitcoin Foundation. They are backing to Bitcoin by implementing Bitcoin wallet, website, software, nodes, etc.
and some other things like divide the community with some changes on the core side, nah they are doing lot of things in a good way, but not everything is going smoothly and in the right way
( at least IMHO )i don't think gavin has anything to do with the foundation, but i could be wrong, but i remember that they have done something bad in the past like use money for their dirty purpose, especially their boss, or something like that, i'm not aware of the exact details
