Everyone knows Satoshi invented Bitcoin.

I just asked the first person I saw if she knew Satoshi. She said it was some new toy she saw in a commercial on disney channel. She had never heard of bitcoin though.

So no, I don't think everyone knows Satoshi invented bitcoin. Almost no one knows bitcoin. And of the ones who know bitcoin, maybe about half (the ones who do more with it that just buy some and sit on em praying the price goes up) know who satoshi is.

And it will be the same with this foundation. The vast majority of people won't ever look beyond the first things they see. They see "Bitcoin Foundation" and will assume that bitcoin was created and is "owned" by this foundation.
The fact that a small group of people are pulling so much of the bitcoin "ownership" onto themselves is very sad.
