What do you think the bitcoin foundation has been doing? This is why lobbying lawmakers is so important. Can you imagine what they would have come up with on their own?
I'd rather not get into what I think teh foundation has been doing... But I don't think this is the result of lobbying. I think it is the result of their internal study. The BTC foundation has about as much clout in Washington as does the Old Ladies with Too Many Cats Foundation... And I don't mean AARP!
