Final question who funds bitcoin.org and bitcoinfoundation.org and who funds the development teams at bitcoin core? Updating bitcoin core with latest releases takes time and money so obviously somebody is funding it or are they all just happy crypto geeks who are volunteering at this so called non-profit organisation for the greater good for mankind financially?

There's no such thing as "Bitcoin Core team". There's a repository and a lot of people contribute to it. Some people contribute a lot, others just a little, just like in any other open source software project. Some Bitcoin developers receive grants from various organizations, like exchanges or payment companies.

What happens if governments took down the github repository, and the .org websites associated with bitcoin and put all those geeks in jail as well whoever is funding it? Will bitcoin still run?

Do you understand how Bitcoin works? There's no single server that can be shut down, so even if all developers disappear, the network will continue to work. Of course it will be a huge blow which will set back the progress, but the next generation of Bitcoin devs will be fully anonymous and will use decentralized tools for writing their code.

Who are these organisations & payment companies that give out these grants? Is it transparent so the bitcoin hodlers can see who is giving who what money?
