1. My understanding is the one of the Foundation's main goal is to give the developers a salary, I think there are more direct ways for this to happen, the new Lighthouse project seems interesting and has been mentioned a few times. All the other layers in the foundation are corrupted by the flow of 'free' cash at this point I think, while the lobbying campaign is interesting, why spend a chunk of your fixed income on it when we have an issue with funding development? Seems like it is just a publicity stunt to generate some goodwill quickly, and doesn't address the problem of developer funding.

2. Brock Pierce, Mark Karpeles, and every other scammer on the board, again the 'free' cash and buzzword-y new technology attracts the snake oil salesmen of all strange and deeply disturbing sorts, and now Brock Pierce is promoting a severely flawed copy cat coin directly against the interests of the foundation, most likely to capitalize on some of the venture capital floating around, it's sickening

3. If the foundation isnt completely corrupt now, it will be at some point in the future, which is to say if bitcoin is to last quite a while into the future, it cant be tethered so intimately with a centralized organization, because as the wealth of bitcoin grows, so does the wealth incentive for a bad actor to potentially either negatively or preferentially influence development for personal gain
