And members of the community. I plan to regularly touch base with these people to understand what sort of issues they’re encountering where the Foundation can be of help.As far as diversity of opinion, there’s clearly a wide spectrum of views within the Bitcoin Foundation. But there’s also a lot of common ground we likely agree on ultimately we all want what’s best for Bitcoin. On issues where I don’t have a strong opinion from the outset, I would try to keep an open mind when talking to different members of the community to learn about all the factors involved. I’d try to get a sense for what the range of opinions is, and if my opinion ended up being far off on one side or the other, I’d want to examine that pretty closely.LTB: Should the Foundation hire a lobbyist? If yes, why and where should they lobby (D.C., NY, CA, London, Berlin, etc)?BD: Yes, I think almost certainly. The Foundation isn’t really a central point of control for Bitcoin, but one of its main purposes is to be a central point of influence and education in the political sphere. Hiring one or more lobbyists is an important step in that direction. Of course the information flows two ways in lobbying, and I think right now, listening and understanding how governments are starting to grapple with Bitcoin is as important as doing the talking, and will ultimately help shape the message we bring back to politicians and regulators.That said,
