i.e. J.P. Morgan, CIA and Governmental funding for this organization would be an issue.
And all of them secretly funding the developers under the old model would not?
The old model would entail organizations going to each developer at the GitHub and having them work for them -- not easily done. Under the Bitcoin Foundation, there is more clout and changes can be pushed more easily just through Gavin.
If J.P. Morgan, CIA and governments around the world would like to support Bitcoin's open development, I would welcome it. They could do it under the old model as well, but under the old model we wouldn't necessarily know about it. Perhaps this is your problem? You just don't want to know about it?
No. Not even close.
If you can't see the conflict of interest that comes from large social and financial powers funding Bitcoin, I don't think we can have a productive discussion.
They couldn't do it effectively under the old model because nothing would get done. There would be no foundation or authority for flawed releases coming from individual developers.
Look up Hegemony. Look how social movements and countries get taken over. We don't live in a nice, trustworthy world.
