Thank you for your support.

I post here occasionally, this is my forum handle.

I am a member of the Bitcoin Foundation. I had a lot of concerns in the beginning because of the leadership. Recently, with the transition to Jon Matonis as chair and the elections of members, I see things have improved.

I am currently the chair of the anti-poverty and development working group within the foundation, a position that is focused on work responsibility rather than a title. I am not interested in becoming a board member, I think I can be more effective as an independent member and by working as part of the various committees.

I think it would be best if the next person to be added to the board of the foundation was someone who is not an English-speaking white male. We have plenty of that. However, it is not up to me to say. I'd prefer to see elections among the members, with a ranked-choice voting system

Thank you again for the support, it is humbling to be nominated by the community like this.

My mom always said, there are four kind of people in world:
One, who can only take care of themselves like beggar.
Two, who can take care of themselves and one more person around them like wife at max, Example people who pull rickshaws, labor in third world countries etc.
Third type of person, are who are capable to taking care of themselves, their family and people around them like, a learned-educated man.
But, people who belong to fourth category are few. They'r born with capabilities and potential to take care of themselves, their family, their locality, their society and humanity.

You seem to be the one who belongs to fourth category. Thank you for noble views, Andreas!
I wish you all luck in work for your future endeavors!
