The Bitcoin Foundation is trying to be like The Linux Foundation, who made this video. Gavin is trying to treat the protocol as a whole like Linux. He wants to be Torvalds. That works well for Linux but not for something that is money. Official Senior Developers and a Supreme Leader is not what Bitcoin needs if its going to supersede fiat currencies that easily ruin when force and authority is applied.

When authority is placed over money it becomes corrupt.
Do you approve of the actions of Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke and what they did for the US Dollar? Do you think any person should have a say over your money as a supreme ruler?

Just watch until the end. That's what Gavin Andresen wants to be over Bitcoin, your Bitcoins.

Remember, there can only be one Bitcoin that people will accept widely. Do you want one that is yours? ...or one that is controlled by a select few?

The whole point of this currency is to escape the establishment. Let's not become a part of it.
