- Bitcoin_Foundation abstract "The Bitcoin Foundation is registered with the IRS as Seattle-based 501(C)6 non-profit trade organization rather than a 501(C)3 charitable foundation as its name might suggest (meaning membership fees are deductible as business expenses but not as charitable donations). It was founded in September 2012 with a stated mission to "standardize, protect and promote the use of Bitcoin cryptographic money for the benefit of users worldwide." The organization was modeled on the Linux Foundation and is funded mainly through grants made by for-profit companies that depend on the Bitcoin technology.According to the founding documentation cited in this article, the Bitcoin Foundation's original founding members included Gavin Andresen, Charles Schrem, Mark Karpeles, Satoshi Nakamoto, Peter Vessenes, Roger Ver, and Patrick Murck. Current board members are divided into one of three categories: Founding Members, Industry Members, and Individual Members. The current board is made up of a combination of elected members of the aforementioned categories.Lead Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen is employed by the foundation as "chief scientist".In June 2013, the foundation received media attention when it published a letter from the California Department of Financial Institutions requesting that they "cease and desist from conducting the business of money transmission in this state", and again when it published their detailed response to the regulators. In November 2013, Patrick Murck, general counsel of the Bitcoin Foundation, testified before a United States Senate committee convened to assess digital currencies, at which the reception of Bitcoin by lawmakers was generally positive.In March of 2014, the Foundation brought on Jim Harper of the Cato Institute as Global Policy Counsel and Amy Weiss of Weiss Public Affairs as a media consultant.".
