Yes this sounds sort of illuminati-ish. Secret society type stuff.

To each his own.

No surprise. The whole crypto market is heavily manipulated by secret whale consortiums. Quite antithetical to bitcoin's so-called ideals.

Yes, it is definitely the time to have a network which actually cares about Bitcoin and its members' liberties.

The "bitcoin foundation" has shown its skin in the longish time it has existed. Other secret societies also have not benefited the public.

It is time for all this to change. Long Live Goat the Great!


Now we are getting somewhere. There needs to be some proper leadership in the bitcoin community. It's childish to think that bitcoin can survive without any leadership that could organize people to reach common goals. The most important and the most difficult thing here is that the leadership has to be chosen in a democratic manner. But discussing this subject is the first step in creating a proper structure in the bitcoin community.
Because without any structural development inside the community, bitcoin will just fade away because it's not able to pass certain thresholds.

For instance, what I myself consider the most important subject here is the situation with MtGox. When most of the community can see that MtGox is insolvent and are lying to people about their "never-ending technical difficulties", then something needs to be done. When most of the community are just trying to hide their heads in sand, then it means that the community is weak, very weak.
All the new people that learn about bitcoin from bitcoin.org are still being directed to MtGox as the main exchange they should use. This means that all the new people that get involved, will get their first experience a negative one and they will tell everyone about that negative experience. And when MtGox will actually shut it's doors and it will come out that they didn't actually have the $ or coins that their numbers showed, then Bitcoin will be called an Ponzi Scheme throughout the media. All the regular folks won't make the difference between bitcoin and mtgox. They only see that a lot of people who invested in bitcoin, lost their money because they were lied to.
