Okay, no one in the forum is going misunderstand "A Bitcoin Foundation" as being the inventors / maintainers of Bitcoin. I'm talking about average every day people who don't know anything about Bitcoin but might read an article in a magazine about "A Bitcoin Foundation" or see a video from one of the board members and jump to a wrong conclusion.


I don't think you understood what I was getting at.

People outside the Bitcoin world misunderstand almost everything about Bitcoin.  They assume its centralized, fiat, a ponzi, etc. They worry that 2^256 isn't enough addresses and we might run out. They think its a waste of electricity. The uninformed coming to the wrong conclusion about various aspects of Bitcoin is unavoidable.

I'd rather the Foundation worry about making Bitcoin succeed than making sure that the lowest common denominator can understand what they're doing.
