Lovely nice peaceful people.
lol, yep. It's a regular diplomats brunch here.
Oh well, haters gona hate. non-haters gona build the future.
The ignorant attacks over hamsters, Jews, etc. are very encouraging. Attacks like this are the final bastions of those with no ideas and not enough knowledge to participate in a real process. These sorts of things can be ignored because they represent nothing but an inability to understand the complexity of being a board member.
This is what I mean. Nobody can explain why they support her. They either repeat the Motherhood statements or divert attention to referencing the idiot posts. The fact that people posted an offensive post doesn't say anything about why someone should or should not vote for her. I don't think is especially bad or wrong and I don't "hate" her, I just don't see why she would be picked once you compare the qualifications and statements of all the candidates. Since nobody can really articulate that it makes me suspicious given some the weird things that go on at that Foundation.
Ploshay: "As the Manager of Communications for Bitcoin Magazine, I first learned about Bitcoin back in January of this year. "
this is what concerns me most.
she's obviously not only young physically but also young via her history in Bitcoin. it took me 2 mo just to understand the basic principles of the protocol and probably another year to more better understand Bitcoin as well as work with it. i'm
still learning about Bitcoin. but that doesn't mean she isn't faster than i am and doesn't understand Bitcoin as well as i do. i just doubt it.
i'd never heard of Elizabeth prior to these elections and am surprised she's gotten so far. she's definitely put together a nice website and i think that has helped her greatly.
guys like Platzer are who motivate me. he's been around for a while and is actively spearheading an active community's use of Bitcoin. he runs his own business using BTC and probably played a big role in getting Germany to accept Bitcoin for private use as a currency. i also buy into the fact that the BF needs a more international representation. it doesn't make a lot of sense to have all US participants in what is a global project as well as the fact that the US gov't has the most to gain from suppressing Bitcoin. he also participates here on the Forum. i think of the Forum as one large thinktank where most of the fundamental news and debates about Bitcoin are located. if you're not actively debating or participating here you don't fully appreciate what's going on.
if you can't debate with the ppl here how can you debate with the ppl on the Hill?
